I ended my 2020-day long-term stay in Thailand at the beginning of 40. After the home quarantine, I went from Hunan to my hometown in Pingtung. I took a small hamburger along the way to explore the beauty of Taiwan. My first stop was in Hualien City and I stayed at the Star Ocean Blue Hotel. Although it was rainy weather Although I didn’t have the opportunity to see the blue sky and sea, it was leisurely and pleasant to take a walk from the hotel to Dongdaemun Night Market to eat, drink and have fun.

This time I stayed in the luxury quadruple room with sea view on the highest floor. After placing two double beds in the room, the space is still quite spacious. The key point is that the high-altitude view outside the window is quite amazing. Even the bathroom has a view of the ocean, although on the day of check-in Unfortunately, in the rainy weather, the vast landscape between the hotel and the Pacific Ocean is barely covered by large buildings. You can imagine the beauty of the blue sky and white clouds. This is probably why the hotel is named after the starry sky and sea blue.
Although the hotel is not a parent-child vacation accommodation with rich facilities, and the room design and color are also biased toward business-type and stable colors, the baby supplies provided in the room are quite complete, including cribs, bathtubs, bottle sterilizers and other equipment. There are family rooms equipped with tents, which happen to be Little Hamburger’s favorite at this time. This is probably the secret base that children love most.
