Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are just minutes from the B&B:

• Luodong Night Market: A 5-minute walk from your door, this is one of Taiwan’s best-loved night markets, famous for scarlet shrimp fried rice, green onion cakes, and Yilan’s iconic ox-tongue pastries. Wander the crowded lanes for street food, cheap handmade accessories, and local games.
• Luodong Forestry Culture Park: A 10-minute drive away, this 16-hectare park is built on a former lumber mill, with shaded walking trails, historic wooden buildings, art galleries, and calm ponds perfect for picnics. It’s a peaceful escape from the night market bustle.
• Yilan Museum of Art: Located 15 minutes away by bike, this contemporary museum housed in a renovated historic building showcases rotating exhibitions of Taiwanese and regional art, with free entry to most public displays.

Travel Tips

Since this is an entire home rental for four, book well in advance, especially for weekends and Yilan’s popular summer harvest season. The B&B only operates in Mandarin, so use a translation app if you don’t speak Chinese to coordinate check-in. Bring walking shoes for exploring the night market and forest park, and pack layers for Yilan’s cooler evenings even in summer. Don’t miss the B&B’s weekly hosted movie nights and happy hours, a great way to meet other travelers if you want to connect with fellow visitors.
