Old Five B&B 老五休閒農場

One style of room at Old Five.
If you're looking for a relaxing place to get away for one night or a few, try out Old Five (Lǎo Wǔ) in Nantou County (just outside of Shueli, in the area of Sun Moon Lake). This bed and breakfast serves incredibly delicious meals in LOHAS fashion. Their rooms are comfortable and your room price comes with dinner and breakfast using foods from local farms. They are well-known for their mantou (steamed bread), which is often served for breakfast, as well as their use of local plums in the food dishes.

Take the Number 3 Freeway towards Shueli. Drive towards Shueli/Sun Moon Lake. After driving through Shueli, you'll come to an intersection (3-way). To the left is a road that takes you to Sun Moon Lake. Straight ahead is Hwy 16/21. Stay on Hwy 21. It'll split eventually into Hwy 16 as well, but continue to follow Hwy 21 (on the right). From the 3-way intersection that turns up towards Sun Moon Lake, it is approximately 8.2 kilometers. Turn right after the second blinking light in the little village, looking for these signs:
