Local Attractions

Three unmissable nearby spots round out your Toucheng stay:

• Toucheng Old Street: Just a 10-minute walk from the guesthouse, this well-preserved 19th-century street is lined with wooden shophouses, traditional snack stalls selling Yilan’s famous green onion cakes and peanut ice cream rolls, and small art galleries that highlight the area’s cultural history.
• Guishan Island: Visible from the guesthouse’s ocean-view rooms, this dormant volcanic island is 45 minutes by ferry from Toucheng Harbor. Book a day tour to hike the scenic peak, spot wild dolphins along the ride, and explore the unique basalt coastline.
• Wufongqi Scenic Area: A 15-minute drive from the property, this cliffside coastal park offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and the Kavelung River delta. It’s a favorite spot for sunrise photography and quiet coastal walks, with flat trails suitable for casual strolling.

Travel Tips

As this is an adults-only property, guests must be 18 or older to book. The rooftop pool and onsen are seasonal, so confirm operating dates with the guesthouse if you’re traveling outside of spring and summer. While staff only speak Chinese, most booking platforms have clear translation tools to help with pre-arrival inquiries. Book ocean-view rooms at least one month in advance for weekends and national holidays, as they sell out quickly. For day trips to Guishan Island, book your ferry permit in advance, as visitor numbers are limited daily to protect the island’s ecosystem.
