Travel Tips

Book your stay at least two weeks in advance during peak seasons (Chinese New Year, summer vacation, and Yilan’s harvest festivals) to secure your preferred room type. Bring comfortable walking shoes if you plan to take advantage of the B&B’s bicycle rental and nearby hiking trails—Yilan’s countryside is best explored on two wheels. If you’re traveling with young children, ask the front desk to borrow board games or children’s DVDs for low-key evenings at the property after a day of exploring. Finally, let the staff know what kind of activities you enjoy; their local insider tips will lead you to hidden rice paddy vistas and family-run cafes that most tourists never find.
