🏨 Experience Luxury and Fun at Silk Place Yilan and Red Lantern Restaurant🎉

Location

Silks Place Yilan is located on the 6th to 11th floors of the area’s premier shopping center – Luna Plaza. Silks Place Yilan is also very popular with locals as it is only about 45 minutes by car from Nangang and Xin-Yi Development District, Taipei,l and 10 minutes drive away from Yilan train station. You can consider staying at courtyard marriot taipei which is just one station away from Songshan station where it takes about 90 minutes to connect to Yilan.

Conveniently situated next to the hotel is a sprawling shopping center, complete with a massive Carrefour supermarket located in the basement. Guests can easily access this retail paradise to stock up on essentials or indulge in a spot of retail therapy during their stay.

Check in

Surprises await little guests who have booked the fantasy castle themed rooms that are spread out on kids’ dedicated levels 8 and 9.

Upon check-in, Hengboi gets to choose his favourite sports car and straightaway hit the track, which is actually the corridor, for an exhilarating race. Complete with traffic lights and parking spaces outside each room, this floor is a paradise for young racing enthusiasts.

We have to take theory and practical exams to get our license. The kids get their license after 5 minutes briefing and can proceed to road rage. Hengboi got up to speed very fast!

Kids can park their car literally right at their door

The car comes with key to start the engine, complete with car dashboard and in-car music

You can only drive your car around the track between 9.05am to 11am (check out timing) and 4.05pm to 10pm.

The Room

We booked the Fantastic Castle Superior 6, which was situated on level 8. The rooms come equipped with kid’s tent, amenities, and complimentary mini-bar and snacks, which make a fantastic stay for family.

For my parents who don’t need a sports car and want to be away from the noisy car track, I booked for them a classic twin room which was on the 7th floor.

The bathtub is actually bigger than shown in the picture. Perhaps due to the angle I took the photo.

It’s a first time I saw a dyson hair dryer provided by the hotel! Meant so much for someone who has such thick hair like me

🏮 Indulge in Culinary Excellence at Red Lantern Yilan Silks Place! 🦆

We checked in Silks Place Yilan. Nestled in the center of Yilan’s trendiest entertainment and leisure spots, Silks Place Yilan is a one-stop destination for family escape. Received TripAdvisor’s Top 25 Traveler’s Choice for families and voted as the top one mouthwatering roasted duck cuisine in Taiwan

Check out our review on Silks Place Yilan.

My sister highly recommended Red Lantern Restaurant in the hotel, and we decided to make a reservation via their online booking portal, which is highly recommended as the restaurant is very popular.

We went with the set menu for 4 – Cherry Valley Roasted Duck Cuisine in Five Ways, which cost NT$5288, which was about SGD222. It was not exactly cheap, but the duck was worth every penny. The set was good for 5 adults and 2 kids.

One of the standout dishes at Red Lantern is their famous Cherry Valley Roasted Duck Cuisine.

The kids surprisingly liked the sliced duck meat wrapped in scallion crepe.

We were very full and was so glad that we were staying in the hotel tonight. Of course, hengboi went back to take his car for a spin, and the poor me have to chase after his car while carrying hengboi2.
