Top 3 Local Attractions

First, don’t miss National Center for Traditional Arts, located just 15 minutes’ drive from the B&B. This open-air cultural park preserves Taiwan’s traditional crafts, performance arts, and historic architecture, with hands-on workshops for everything from pottery to sugar painting, and regular folk performances on weekends. Second, Dongshan River Water Park is 10 minutes away, offering gentle riverside cycling, kayaking, and grassy picnic spots perfect for hot summer afternoons. Third, Jimmy’s Moon Bus, a whimsical public art installation inspired by local illustrator Jimmy Liao, is 12 minutes from the B&B. It’s one of Yilan’s most photographed spots, with retro buses, giant storybook displays, and sweeping views of the surrounding rice paddies.

Travel Tips

Since the B&B hosts many family groups, book at least two weeks in advance during peak seasons (summer school holidays and the annual Yilan Green Expo in spring) to secure your preferred room type. The owner speaks fluent Mandarin and offers personalized local dining and activity recommendations, so don’t hesitate to ask for hidden gem food spots away from the tourist areas. Bring comfortable walking shoes for exploring rural Xingjian Village’s rice paddy trails, and pack a picnic to enjoy in the B&B’s garden or the nearby Dongshan Riverbank. If you’re traveling without a car, the B&B can help arrange local shuttle service from Yilan Train Station, which is just 20 minutes away.
