Incredible value for your money and affordable backpacker's accommodation on Lanyu
Why the name Ding Ah Du (DAD)?
Ding Ah Du (DAD) means “on top” in the Tao language; the name of the backpacker's hostel was created because it was converted from the second floor of the owner A Liang's residence.
With such thought in mind, we realized an interesting connection: The abbreviation of Ding Ah Du is dad, which is very fitting because every brick and tile of the house was hand-built by A Liang's father! In other words, Ding Ah Du is also DAD’s Backpackers Inn.
Building on the efforts of the older generation, DAD has become a pit stop where travelers can get together and share a laugh. This has endowed the second floor with a new beginning. DAD boasts 14 single beds and two double beds, complemented by four bathrooms and various facilities to provide affordable but high quality backpacker accommodation for travelers.
