Nearby Attractions

Three standout attractions are just a short drive from the homestay:

• National Center for Traditional Arts: Located 10 minutes away by car, this open-air cultural park lets kids try hand-painting lanterns, make traditional paper umbrellas, and watch folk performances, while parents wander riverside paths and browse craft boutiques. It’s a perfect blend of education and fun for all ages.
• Luodong Forestry Culture Park: A 15-minute drive from the homestay, this former lumber mill turned park features sprawling green lawns for picnics, shallow canals for paddling in summer, and low-key hiking trails that are stroller-friendly, ideal for a lazy morning outdoors.
• Jimmy’s Moon Bus: Just 8 minutes away in downtown Wujie, this whimsical public art installation inspired by local author Jimmy Liao is a hit with kids for photo opportunities, and sits steps from cute local coffee shops and street food stalls for a quick snack stop.

Travel Tips

Book your stay and reserve parking at least two weeks in advance, especially during weekends, Yilan’s hot spring season (winter) and summer harvest festivals, when the homestay fills up quickly. Bring along kids’ favorite swimwear if you’re visiting in summer – many popular nearby water parks are within a 20-minute drive. If you plan to barbecue on-site, confirm with the homestay ahead of time to reserve the grill and check if you need to bring your own charcoal or seasonings. Since the homestay is centrally located between Luodong and Yilan City, rent a scooter or car to get around most easily, as public transport in Wujie Township runs less frequently on off-peak days.
