Rich Royal Hotel

;
97 Changan St, 97; d from NT$800-1200, tw
NT$1800)
This place feels like a love hotel when you walk down the long garage to the
check-in counter but it is, in fact, popular with families. Rooms are ageing a bit, but it's
probably the best value for money in town.
Hotel Taiwan
HOTEL $$$
(Táiwān Dàfàndiàn; 722 4681;

; 48 Jhongjheng Rd, Sec 2, 48; d/tw
NT$1750/2100; )
The recently refurbished Hotel Taiwan is the best midrange accom-
modation in Changhua. The rooms are decently sized and modern. The hotel's location -
right next to the train station - is an additional convenience.
Eating & Drinking
Changhua is famous for its
ròu yuán
(meatballs) and you'll find many places to try them
out on Chenling Rd.
For cheap eats and cafes, there are plenty of places around the train station to try.
There are also cafes on Guangfu St. If you're in the mood for a beer, head up Chengling
Rd, past Heping Rd.
Cat Mouse Noodle
NOODLES $
(Māoshǔmiàn; 223 Chenglin Rd; noodles from NT$40; 9am-8.30pm)
The Changhua tourist
website claims that this shop's special noodle dish is one of the three culinary treasures
of the city. It's a stretch, but the tangy-flavoured noodles are pretty tasty. The shop has its
odd name because the owner's nickname sounds like 'cat mouse' in Taiwanese - not be-
cause of anything you'll find in the food.
