Don’t miss the chance to browse handmade souvenir stalls and local fresh fruit stands after dark.
• Dongshan River Water Park: A 15-minute drive from the homestay, this sprawling scenic riverside park is perfect for picnics, cycling along flat riverside trails, and gentle water activities in summer. It also hosts Yilan’s annual Green Expo, drawing visitors who love nature and outdoor art.

Travel Tips

Book your stay at least two weeks in advance during peak seasons (summer holidays and Chinese New Year) to secure family rooms. If you plan to explore Yilan’s rural backroads, opt for the homestay’s bicycle rental to access hidden scenic spots inaccessible by car. Ask the front desk for their personalized itinerary recommendations—they often share lesser-known local food spots that don’t make mainstream tourist guides. Note that airport shuttle and bicycle rental incur extra fees, so confirm pricing when booking.
