Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this location unbeatable. First, just a 10-minute drive away is Jiaoxi Hot Spring Park, a public green space where you can soak your feet in free open-air hot spring pools, stroll along tree-lined paths, and try the famous Jiaoxi guava ice cream from nearby street vendors. Second, Wufengqi Scenic Area, a 15-minute drive from the B&B, features a cascading waterfall, well-marked hiking trails through subtropical forest, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Third, the iconic Jimmy’s Moon Bus, located in downtown Jiaoxi 10 minutes away, is a whimsical public art installation inspired by local illustrator Jimmy Liao that captures Yilan’s creative, laid-back spirit, perfect for photo stops and casual walks through the town’s pedestrian-friendly center.

Travel Tips

Book your stay well in advance, especially during weekends and hot spring season (October to March), as the small property sells out quickly. If you don’t have a car, take advantage of the free airport or train station shuttle to avoid navigating local public transit. Don’t skip the B&B’s famous breakfast – the homemade pretzels and local fruit platter are well worth waking up early for, and if you’re craving a unique night, book the themed German dinner in advance to enjoy traditional schnitzel and spätzle without leaving the property.
