Guanyun (Kuanyun)
Youth Activity Centre HOSTEL $ $
(Guānyún Shānzhuāng; 04-2599 1173; http://kwan.cyh.org.tw/eng ; dm/d/tw incl breakfast
NT$500/1900/2800) At an altitude of 2374m, this activity centre in tiny Guanyun, 57km
up from Tienhsiang, offers inexpensive meals and accommodation literally in the clouds.
The first night's stop for most cyclists on the way to Lishan or Hehuanshan, it's a bit too
far away from the main sights to be of much use to most other travellers.
The centre is 400m off Hwy 7. Look for the sign in Chinese at around Km117.
Eating
Bland Chinese and aboriginal food is available at a few stalls and sit-down places at the
back of the parking lot in Tienhsiang. There's also a convenience store here.

fore 9pm the night before.
