Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this location ideal for Yilan exploration:

• Dongshan River Water Park: Just 10 minutes’ drive from the B&B, this scenic riverside park is Yilan’s most beloved outdoor spot. It hosts the annual Yilan International Children's Folklore and Folk Festival, and even off-season, visitors can cycle along riverside paths, picnic under willow trees, or try gentle river rafting on calm, shallow waters.
• Jimmy’s Moon Bus: Located 15 minutes away in Luodong, this whimsical art installation inspired by illustrator Jimmy Liao’s picture books is one of Yilan’s most photographed spots. Perched on a rooftop overlooking the countryside, the vintage moon-themed bus offers dreamy views and immersive storytelling for visitors of all ages.
• Luodong Night Market: A 12-minute drive from the B&B, this is Yilan’s most famous night market, serving up iconic local snacks like scallion pancakes, pearl milk tea, grilled squid, and yilan braised pork rice, plus affordable handmade crafts and clothing.

Travel Tips

Since the B&B only accepts one group per day, book at least two to four weeks in advance, especially for weekends and holiday periods. The fully equipped kitchen is perfect for picking up fresh produce from local Dongshan farms or seafood from nearby fishing ports to cook a group meal. If you’re traveling with young kids, the on-site indoor and outdoor play areas make it easy to keep little ones entertained after a day of sightseeing. Finally, keep in mind that the B&B only accommodates Chinese speakers for on-site service, so have a translation app handy if you don’t speak Mandarin.
