Top hotels in Taishan
The Grand Hotel
Beautiful architecture and tasty breakfast (with duck and high quality seafood and meat). Room AC didn’t go all the way down to 18C and front desk staff was a little aloof but overall great experience. Did both east and west secret passageway tours.

Hyatt Regency Taoyuan International Airport
I have mobility issues and the staff could not have been more helpful. I decided to try a swim in the pool for the first time in five months. When I had trouble getting out the guard jumped in, clothed and assisted me. I would return to this property in a minute.
