Local Attractions

Three unmissable spots are all within a 15-minute drive of the homestay:

• Luodong Night Market: Just 2 kilometers away, this is one of Taiwan’s most beloved night markets, famous for crispy green onion cakes, tangy yilan pickled cabbage, and hand-made glutinous rice balls. Arrive early to wander the crowded lanes, browse street stalls selling local crafts, and experience authentic Taiwanese night market culture.
• Luodong Forestry Culture Park: A 10-minute drive from the homestay, this 16-hectare former lumber mill turned urban park features shaded walking trails, historic industrial buildings, sun-dappled lotus ponds, and open grasslands perfect for picnics. It’s an ideal spot to escape the heat and learn about Yilan’s logging history.
• Jimmy’s Moon Bus: Located at the Luodong Transit Station near the night market, this whimsical public art installation inspired by local illustrator Jimmy Liao brings storybook illustrations to life. It’s one of Luodong’s most photographed spots, especially magical at sunset when the lights begin to glow.

Travel Tips

If you plan to use the homestay’s barbecue facilities, book and pay for the space at check-in, as slots fill up quickly on weekends. Visit the night market on a weekday to avoid the worst crowds, and rent a bike from the homestay to cycle the 5-kilometer route from the homestay to the park, enjoying quiet countryside views along the way. For travelers arriving by train, the homestay can arrange a low-cost pickup from Luodong Train Station, just 10 minutes away.
