Nearby Attractions

Three standout attractions are just a short drive from the homestay:

• Toucheng Old Street: Just 10 minutes away by car, this preserved 19th-century street is lined with traditional wooden shophouses, local snack stalls selling Yilan classics like scallion pancakes and peanut ice cream rolls, and quirky independent boutiques. It’s the perfect spot for a lazy morning stroll and a taste of authentic local life.
• Guishan Island: Yilan’s most iconic offshore volcanic island is visible from the homestay’s terrace on clear days. Regular whale watching and island tour boats depart from Toucheng Fishing Port, 15 minutes from the homestay, where you can spot dolphins, observe the unique volcanic coastline, and learn about the island’s abandoned fishing village history.
• Wufongqi Scenic Area: A 20-minute drive inland leads to this lush mountain trail network, with gentle walking paths leading to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Guishan Island. It’s ideal for casual hikes and picnics away from the crowds.

Travel Tips

Book your parking spot in advance if you are driving, as spaces are limited. If you plan to use the terrace for a private barbecue or karaoke night, confirm the extra fee and reserve the space at the time of booking. For Guishan Island tours, book your boat tickets at least one week in advance during peak summer and holiday seasons, as tours sell out quickly. If you bring a pet, remember to notify the homestay when making your reservation to confirm arrangements. The homestay is 20 minutes’ walk from the nearest TRA Toucheng Station, so if traveling by public transport, book a taxi or arrange a pick-up in advance to make your arrival smoother.
