Lih Pao Group informed CNA today that the Furen Grand Hotel Yuanshan Taipei flagship is scheduled for trial operation by the end of this year and will take over from Taipei Branch 1, continuing the group's layout in the Taipei market.
Furen Grand Hotel Taipei Branch 1 was originally scheduled to close in September 2021, but due to numerous customer requests for its continuation and the government's stimulus plan, the landlord, Taiwan Sugar Corporation, decided to extend the lease by five years until September of this year.
