Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 20-minute drive of the B&B:

• Dongshan River Water Park: Just 10 minutes away, this sprawling riverside park is perfect for family days out. It features shallow, gentle waters ideal for wading in summer, cycling paths along the river, and seasonal cultural events, including Yilan’s famous Green Expo in spring.
• Jimmy’s Moon Bus: Located 15 minutes away in downtown Luodong, this whimsical open-air art installation inspired by illustrator Jimmy Liao is a favorite for photo walks, blending storytelling and public art against the backdrop of Luodong’s old town.
• **Cingshueiyan (Clear Water Rock): A 20-minute drive into the mountains, this scenic cliffside temple offers sweeping panoramic views of the Yilan Plain. The hiking trails around the temple wind through lush forest, making it ideal for a half-day of light hiking and sightseeing.

Travel Tips

Book your parking spot at the time of reservation to guarantee a spot, especially during peak seasons (Chinese New Year, summer vacation, and winter cherry blossom season). If you plan to take advantage of the off-site canoe activity, book it at check-in to secure your preferred time slot. Bring comfortable walking shoes for day trips to Cingshueiyan and Luodong Old Town, and stop at one of the local roadside fruit stands near the B&B to pick up seasonal Yilan pomelos or pineapples for a snack. For families, request a first-floor family room when booking to avoid carrying strollers up stairs, and ask the staff for their recommendations for the best local duck rice and scallion pancake shops in Dongshan—many hidden gems are only known to locals.
