Hualien is Still the Hualien You Remember,
We're Still Here Waiting for You
A series written and shared, one story at a time.
Opening — This Morning's 11,743 Steps, Starting Again
First in the series. This morning's 11,743 steps, this time as a slow jog.
The Origins of Our Rooms
Third in the series. Seven days and six nights in Bali, two trips to Kyoto, and the Greece trip that never happened.
Guests' Stories
Second in the series. Time turned our guests from a couple into parents.
A Couple's Story
Fourth in the series. Eighteen years, and the division of labor has stayed roughly the same: I'm out front, she's holding everything together.
The Hualien Earthquake · Our Story
Fifth in the series. The day after the 0403 earthquake, I went into surgery. The mountains shook, and so did I; two years later, the mountains have steadied, and so have I.
An Invitation
Sixth in the series. Errantry Lodge just turned 18. We'd love to invite you to write down your own Errantry Lodge story.
How a New Hualien Resident Began
Moved to Hualien in 2006 — a photographer first, and Errantry Lodge came later.
Memories of a Work Exchange
Summer 2011: five international friends stayed with us through a work-exchange program — and left us with a memory we still carry.
A Decade of Countless Photos
Our photography service is one of the main reasons guests come to Errantry Lodge. Over a decade, countless photos, countless smiles.
2012~ 2026 The Fifth Time, Coming Home
A submission from old friends Wei-Chen and Ying-Zi. First visit in 2012, this is their fifth time "coming back" in 2026.
