Top Local Attractions

Three standout nearby spots make this B&B an ideal base for exploring. First, just a 10-minute drive away is Yilan Children’s Folklark Park, a sprawling open green space with interactive cultural exhibits, playgrounds, and seasonal flower fields that’s perfect for a lazy family afternoon. Second, 15 minutes away is the iconic Jimmy’s Moon Bus, a whimsical public art installation along the Lanyang River, inspired by local illustrator Jimmy Liao, with panoramic river views that make for unforgettable photos. Third, 20 minutes from the B&B is Luodong Forestry Culture Park, a converted old logging yard filled with towering cedar trees, rustic industrial heritage buildings, and calm ponds perfect for strolling or picnicking.

Travel Tips

Book your stay well in advance, especially during peak Yilan travel seasons (summer holidays, Lunar New Year, and cherry blossom season in spring), as the villa books out fast for whole-house groups. If you plan to use the barbecue facilities, notify the host a few days ahead to arrange preparation. Bring appropriate footwear if you plan to take advantage of nearby hiking trails or off-site fishing opportunities, both easily arranged from the B&B. The B&B only hosts Mandarin-speaking staff, so having a translation app handy is helpful if you don’t speak Chinese. Finally, don’t leave Yilan without stopping at a nearby local scallion pancake shop for breakfast—Yilan’s famous green scallions grown in the Lanyang Plain are not to be missed.
