The Old England Manor

Rich in natural beauty, the picturesque highlands of Nantou County are right in the centre of Taiwan. Surrounded by green hills, The Old England Manor Hotel is a unique property with a Tudor-style exterior that is an intriguing surprise to find in this part of the world. Complete with a Gothic-style clock tower, the hotel is rich in English artefacts and statues abound throughout the extensive grounds.

The interesting mix of styles continues inside The Old England Manor Hotel, with different period furniture from Rococo to Art Deco. Regency striped wallpapers and fabrics sit next to floral patterns, chandeliers and Tiffany lampshades. The overall effect is really quite striking and encapsulates a romantic feel.

Head for nearby Mount Hehuan and the easily accessible Hehuanshan National Forest Recreation Area for some impressive scenery. On your return to The Old England Manor, stop off at Cingjing Farm where fir trees and alpine meadows sit side-by-side with terraced tea plantations and steep valleys. Then, relax with a soothing bathe at Lushan Hot Spring. Further south, the lakeside scenery at Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area is also worth visiting.
