Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this location unbeatable. First, just 10 minutes’ drive away is Dongshan River Water Park, Taiwan’s beloved riverside recreational area, where you can cycle along tree-lined banks, take a gentle river cruise, or picnic on wide grassy shores. Second, the iconic Jimmy’s Moon Bus, a whimsical art installation inspired by local picture book author Jimmy Liao, sits 15 minutes away in Yilan’s pastoral countryside, offering incredible photo opportunities against mountain backdrops. Third, Zhenshan Grape Farm is a 5-minute drive from the homestay, where you can pick seasonal grapes and enjoy sweet, freshly made grape sorbet in summer.

Travel Tips

Book your stay well in advance, especially during cherry blossom season in spring and harvest season in autumn, when Yilan homestays fill up quickly. If you plan to barbecue, notify the homestay a week ahead to reserve the facilities. The homestay is a 20-minute drive from Yilan Train Station; the host can arrange a paid transfer if you don’t have a car, or you can rent a scooter near the station for easy exploration of the countryside. Don’t leave without trying the homemade scallion pancakes sold at the small local breakfast shops 2 minutes from the homestay – they’re a Yilan staple you won’t want to miss.
