This hotel in Dongshan Township, Yilan, is a must-stay. Featuring a Western-style castle exterior, the interior is filled with European charm.

Yilan, a city that combines natural beauty with the comfort of hot springs, is undoubtedly the top choice for a weekend getaway to rejuvenate! This trip focuses on the Taipingshan area, featuring stays at Taipingshan Lodge and the Mu Jiao Xi Hotel, offering a relaxing way to explore Yilan's forested secrets: venture into Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area, ride the nostalgic Bong Bong Train, take a deep walk along the Maoxing Trail and Jianqing Historic Trail, and finally enjoy the pastoral charm at Shangrila Leisure Farm. Even on rainy days, wearing a raincoat and carrying an umbrella can reveal a poetic side of Yilan! Taipingshan Forest Bong Bong Train—A Railway Journey Through Time The Taipingshan Forestry Railway was once an essential transportation line for timber. Today, the "Bong Bong Train" has become a retro little train that takes travelers through the forest! Taipingshan Station is located at No. 95, Taiping Lane, Datong Township, Yilan County, and is open year-round from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. It's recommended to arrive early to secure a window seat for capturing the misty mountain views and lush greenery along the way. Upon reaching Maoxing Station, you can continue your walk along the nostalgic Maoxing Trail. The train ride lasts about 20 minutes, moving at a slow pace to let everyone savor the fresh forest air, making it perfect for family experiences. Special reminder: On rainy days, the railway feels even more authentic, but be sure to wear a raincoat and non-slip shoes (like us, holding umbrellas while taking photos), guaranteeing stunning forest-themed shots! Recommended Attractions 1. Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area Address: No. 58-1, Taiping Lane, Datong Township, Yilan County Open year-round from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and even earlier at 4:00 AM on weekends. Admission is NT$100. The area offers rich trails and observation decks to enjoy views of the sea of clouds and plains. Visiting on rainy days adds a unique atmosphere, with mist enveloping the forest in an unreal beauty. 2. Maoxing Nostalgic Trail Address: Nan'ao Township, Yilan County Open year-round from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This trail features towering trees and lush moss, preserving traces of the old logging site. The path is flat and suitable for family walks, with occasional sightings of small wild animals in the woods. 3. Jianqing Historic Trail This trail is slightly more challenging but offers expansive views along the way, making it a must-visit for photography enthusiasts. It's recommended to visit during good weather to capture stunning mountain mists and sunrises. 4. Shangrila Leisure Farm Here, you can interact with various adorable animals, taste local agricultural products, and enjoy the fresh countryside atmosphere, ideal for family or friends outings. Hotel Highlights Taipingshan Lodge (No. 46, Section 5, Taiya Road, Datong Township, Yilan County)—Features a row of camping trailers in a serene mountain setting, often visited by small animals. Rooms are clean and equipped with air conditioning, dehumidifiers, and a variety of breakfast buns. Mu Jiao Xi Hotel (No. 1, Health Road)—Conveniently located for hot spring baths, with comprehensive facilities perfect for families. The buffet is highly recommended, offering sumptuous dishes like snow crab. Comfortable rooms, some with balconies overlooking Jiaoxi cityscape. Travel Tips - Taipingshan's high altitude means weather changes frequently; raincoats and umbrellas are essential, and wear non-slip hiking shoes for wet paths. - Bong Bong Train is popular during peak seasons; arrive early at Taipingshan Station to queue. - Taipingshan forest trails are rich in biodiversity, with occasional sightings of mountain birds and squirrels. Bring binoculars for observation. - Hotel breakfasts offer a wide variety but can be crowded at times; early birds will enjoy a more relaxed experience. - If driving to Taipingshan, check road conditions in advance as rainy weather may cause landslides. Safety first. Transportation Guide After exiting Jiaoxi Train Station, you can take a taxi or bus to various attractions. Both Taipingshan Lodge and Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area are accessible by bus, but check schedules in advance. Major city hotels (e.g., Silks Place Yilan) also offer shuttle services that can be reserved. Food Recommendations There are plenty of local snacks near the attractions. For a taste of local breakfast, try the handmade buns at Taipingshan Lodge. For dinner in Jiaoxi city, opt for Mu Jiao Xi Hotel's buffet or local restaurants serving hot spring eggs and Yilan smoked duck.

Every time I visit Jiaoxi in Yilan, I almost always make a stop at this super popular spot—Butter Bread. Previously, I mostly came here to buy their bread, and I’m not exaggerating when I say there’s almost always a line. Their business is booming, and the bread often sells out quickly. This time, I finally had the chance to sit down and properly enjoy their brunch. The interior is exactly my style, with a forest-inspired theme featuring lots of wood and natural elements, complemented by plenty of green plants. The space is incredibly cozy, giving off a relaxing vibe as if you’re having breakfast in the woods—you won’t want to leave. We ordered the double platter, which was very generous in portion size. It was more than enough for two people, and the dishes were not only visually appealing but also of high quality. The drinks were a pleasant surprise as well. The Sicilian coffee was refreshing with a fruity aroma, making it a perfect match for brunch. The fruity milk tea was also delightful—smooth and not overly sweet. Overall, the experience was very satisfying. From the ambiance to the food and drinks, everything was top-notch. If you’re visiting Jiaoxi, whether you’re looking to buy some bread or find a cozy brunch spot, I highly recommend giving Butter Bread a try. Just remember to come early, as it tends to get crowded! Butter Bread Address: No. 35, Section 6, Jiaoxi Road, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 262

When visiting Jiaoxi, aside from enjoying the hot springs, you absolutely must check in at this incredibly magnificent Prosperity Tree! The entire tree is glowing gold, from its roots to its leaves, making it no surprise that it’s considered the most prosperous spot in Yilan for attracting wealth. Surrounded by red lanterns and traditional architecture, every photo you take here will look amazing. You’ll leave with an abundance of good fortune, and your mood will definitely improve☺️ Standing under the tree truly gives you the feeling that "this year’s earnings will shine brightly." If you’re looking to boost your finances or career, I highly recommend making a trip here—the energy is truly unique✨

Tiger Brand Rice Noodle Tourism Factory • Location: No. 5, Lixing 3rd Road, Wujie Township, Yilan County (Lize Industrial Zone) • Opening Hours: Typically open daily from 09:00–16:30/16:00 (subject to seasonal or official announcements) The interior recreates a 1970s street scene, old shops, rural-themed murals, and a nostalgic grocery store atmosphere, making visitors feel as if they've traveled back in time to experience the flavors of old Taiwan. Additionally, outside the park, there is the adorable "Tiger Bus" (a large tiger-shaped bus/art installation), which is a popular photo spot. Free Rice Noodles: Inside the factory, there are stalls offering free rice noodles. Many visitors say the "all-you-can-eat rice noodles" is the most attractive feature. • DIY Experiences: Choose from "Electric Cooker Stir-Fried Rice Noodles DIY" or "Paint Your Own Rice Noodle Bowl DIY" — learn step-by-step how to stir-fry rice noodles or decorate rice noodle packaging. It's fun and perfect for families.

Top food recommendations in Jiaoxi🏆: 1️⃣ Zheng Hao Fresh Pork Xiao Long Bao (not the regular fresh pork xiao long bao❗) A basket of 10 juicy xiao long bao costs NT$100 Hot and Sour Soup costs NT$35 Black Tea, Milk Tea, and Soy Milk are all NT$20 (you can get them from the refrigerator after ordering and paying) There's absolutely nothing to complain about here! It's a complete winner🏆 The hot and sour soup is even better than Ba ​​Fang Yun Ji🤣 and it's not the small bowl kind; the soup in the xiao long bao is also super delicious (see cover for details). The shop's specialty is xiao long bao: thin skin, lots of filling, and lots of juice. Locals in Yilan say it's worth eating because the xiao long bao has a scallion flavor. On a hot day, a cup of black tea/milk tea or soy milk is perfect. Personally, I think the milk tea is a little sweet, but within an acceptable range, not overly sweet. The signature dish is, of course, the xiao long bao! We checked out the place twice, because the first time we arrived at 5 PM, the shop told us they were sold out of hot and sour soup 😭 The second time, when we arrived around noon, there was already a queue! Finally, we got to drink the hot and sour soup! The queue was incredibly long when we finished eating, but thankfully we made it before noon 😁 📍Address: No. 122, Ren'ai Rd., Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 2️⃣Wu Ji Peanut Roll Ice Cream 😋 A traditional and delicious taste (Next to Ke's Scallion Pancake! The location is easy to find 😆) This place also had a long queue, but luckily we only waited less than 10 minutes. The shop grinds peanut powder on the spot and adds cilantro. Be sure to ask them to add cilantro; it tastes best that way 👍 They don't skimp on the ingredients; there are two scoops of ice cream, which is very generous. It's NT$50, which beats many Taipei night markets that only have one scoop of peanut roll ice cream and don't taste good, yet they charge NT$60! Because it was too hot to eat outside, which could cause heatstroke, the customers buying peanut roll ice cream were smart enough to eat inside the claw machine arcade (it's air-conditioned!). 📍Address: No. 128, Section 4, Jiaoxi Road, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 3️⃣ Taiyi Crispy Pork Belly How could we miss out on the crispy pork belly that only yields 550g per kilogram of roasted pork belly? 😋 We chose the medium-sized two-person set meal for NT$200, which included a free serving of daikon radish (pickled radish with a grapefruit flavor). It was so crunchy and delicious, the crispy pork belly 🥩 burst with flavor and aroma in our mouths – mouthwatering! Onions were served on the side to add flavor and cut through the richness. 👍 📍Address: No. 117, Section 2, Zhongshan Road, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County Finally, we originally wanted to try Yizhenxiang's bursting mantou (steamed buns), but the baker hadn't made any the night before. We'll have to save those for our next trip! #foodie #foodblogger #ambrosial #Jiaoxi #YilanFoodRecommendations #YilanFoodTips #Foodie #100WaysToTravel

This time, I stayed at the Lakeshore Hotel Su'ao - Four Seasons Twin Springs Pavilion, and I absolutely loved it 💗 The room was spacious and bright, and the hot spring pool featured a "hot and cold twin springs" design, making the experience incredibly enjoyable ♡̷̷ After dinner, I returned to the room and enjoyed a session in the hot and cold springs, which was so relaxing and comfortable ✨ The bed was super comfy too! The room was clean and quiet, ensuring excellent rest quality ⭑｡:* The breakfast the next morning was also impressive, with plenty of options and a comfortable layout. The area around the hotel is perfect for photography, quiet, and relaxing. A stroll to the harbor to watch the sea was incredibly soothing 💙 The hotel facilities are comprehensive, including a swimming pool, a kids' area, and relaxation spaces. Staying for a day felt just right without being rushed. If friends ask me where to stay in Su'ao, Yilan, I would definitely recommend this place.

#November Destinations 2025 Why come here? Nanfang'ao is a fishing port where life and the sea are inextricably linked. I entered the port on a beautiful morning: the sky was a saturated cobalt blue, the hills lined up behind the harbor, and the fishing boats seemed to breathe slowly in the sunlight. Reaching the Nantian Temple, I heard several sounds simultaneously—gongs and drums, engines, seabirds, and old songs playing from the betel nut stand next door. This feeling of "human life is busy, but the gods are close" is why I love Nanfang'ao. ⸻ A brief history of Nantian Temple (explained in plain language) • The initial inspiration: In 1946, a fisherman near the port was rescued from danger, and the locals vowed to build a temple to thank Mazu. Construction began in 1950, and the temple was completed on November 18, 1956, becoming a vital center of faith for fishermen before and after their voyages. • Rear Hall and Golden Mazu: Construction of the rear hall, modeled after the Quanzhou style, began in 1990. The top floor houses a golden Mazu statue. Common sources indicate this golden Mazu weighs approximately 203.8 kilograms of pure gold and is about 90 centimeters tall, making it one of the earliest temples in Taiwan to have a golden Mazu statue. After its completion, it became a must-see attraction for pilgrims and tourists. • Jade Mazu: The second-floor hall features a giant jade Mazu statue, carved from green jade and crafted by a renowned Hualien master craftsman. Weighing several tons, it creates a striking contrast with the golden Mazu on the third floor. Summary: Nantian Temple is not just about "glittering gold"; it tells the story of how a fishing village made peace a part of daily life. ⸻ Key Information for Travelers (Name/Address/Time/Ticket Price) • Official Name: Nanfang'ao Nantian Temple (Dedicated to the Heavenly Mother) • Address: No. 17, Jiangxia Road, Su'ao Township, Yilan County (Located in the Nanfang'ao Fishing Port Commercial Area) • Opening Hours: Daily 04:30–21:00 (Adjustments may be made during festivals or religious ceremonies) • Ticket Price: Free admission (donations are welcome). • Transportation: Take the Taiwan Railway to Su'ao Station, then transfer to a bus to the "Nanfang'ao Nantian Temple" stop; if driving, it is recommended to park in nearby paid parking lots and walk. ⸻ Best Way to Visit: My 45–60 Minute Itinerary 1. Enter the temple courtyard from the main gate on Jiangxia Road → First, look up at the details of the roof ridge, then enter the main hall to offer incense, letting your nostrils be enveloped by the cool sandalwood fragrance. 2. From the first to the second floor, view the "Jade Mazu" → The giant green jade displays different shades of green under natural light; remember to walk around it. 3. At the top, pay homage to the "Golden Mazu" → Keep the rules in mind and slowly appreciate the craftsmanship: the face is gentle, the clothing intricate, and the gold shines warmly rather than glaringly. I've noted the sources for common claims about weight and height above. 4. Return to the temple courtyard and listen to the sounds of daily life → As the harbor breeze blows, you'll suddenly understand: the prayers for peace here aren't just touristy phrases, but rather a ingrained habit of the fishermen every day. ⸻ A brief aside: My "Nanfang'ao Sea Breeze Day" After leaving the temple courtyard, I walked to the fishing harbor, bought a cold winter melon tea, and watched the boats tending their nets along the embankment. The midday clouds, like cotton balls, cast shadows rolling across the mountainside, and the harbor surface shimmered. I secretly wished: next time, I'll come during the northeast monsoon to hear the real waves. ⸻ Surrounding Areas (Attractions + Viewpoints) — Take in the Mountains and Sea at Once • Nanfang'ao Viewpoint: Formerly known as Zhao'an Viewpoint, located at 5.5K on Provincial Highway 9D, free and open year-round. Offers panoramic views of Nanfang'ao's harbor surrounded by mountains on three sides, Neipi Beach, and Turtle Island. Capture the mountains, sea, and city in a single photo. • Tofu Cape and Neipi Beach: Connected along the coastline, the afternoon light is gentler; pay attention to sea condition signs. ⸻ Food Review | Local Flavors Near the Temple: Liao Rongchuan Rice Cake (Address Needed ✅) After praying, it's time for some simple yet delicious food. • Shop Name: Liao Rongchuan Rice Cake at Su'ao Port Temple Entrance • Address: No. 9, Jiangxia Road, Nanfang'ao, Su'ao Township, Yilan County (Next to Nantian Temple) • My Order: A bowl of rice cake + bitter melon and pork rib soup. The rice cake is topped with fish floss and minced pork, and the taste is the kind that makes you want to take another bag home after you finish eating it. • Price range: Budget-friendly, prices are clearly marked on-site, please be patient and queue when it gets crowded on weekends. If you want to sit down and enjoy seafood at a leisurely pace, there are many long-established live seafood restaurants along Jiangxia Road; having dinner and then going up to the observation deck to watch the sunset is a rhythm I really enjoy. ⸻ Accommodation Recommendation (A good choice for watching the sunrise or soaking in the hot springs) • Lakeshore Hotel Su'ao Four Seasons Hot Springs Resort | No. 38, Zhongzheng Rd., Su'ao Township, Yilan County. Rooms have access to both cold and hot spring baths, very close to the fishing port; convenient for watching the sunrise or enjoying the harbor view. Alternative: Longshanlin Su'ao Hot and Cold Spring Resort Hotel (Abundant hot spring facilities; choose according to your budget) ⸻ Reasons for Recommendation (These 8 points are guaranteed to be helpful) 1. Strong Storytelling: From the temple's construction in 1950–1956 to the enshrinement of the Golden Mazu statue in the rear hall in 1990, layers of collective memory of the harbor are built. 2. Unique Statues: Golden Mazu and Jade Mazu face each other, combining craftsmanship and faith. 3. Free Admission, Super Close to the Harbor: Stepping out of the temple courtyard, you'll find a fish market and sea views, offering a truly local experience. 4. Viewpoint Enhancement: From a high vantage point, you can see the entire harbor and better understand why this temple is "backed by mountains and facing the sea." 5. Abundant Food Options: A street full of food stalls is right at the temple entrance, satisfying your cravings for rice cakes, seafood, and ice cream. 6. Easy Transportation: Accessible by train and bus, friendly to backpackers. 7. Great for photos: The roof ridge, dragon pillars, and plaques are reflected in the harbor, looking beautiful in both sunny and cloudy weather. 8. A good rain shelter: When it rains, take shelter inside the temple to listen to the waves; it has a unique atmosphere. ⸻ Practical Tips (Details to avoid pitfalls) • Worship etiquette: The Jin Mazu Temple is a key area; check the signs before taking photos. If there is a religious ceremony, just follow the volunteers' route. • Parking: Jiangxia Road's alleys are narrow; it's recommended to park on the outer perimeter and walk into the harbor. • Weather: Strong sunlight in summer; bring water and sunshade. Strong northeast monsoon winds in winter; be aware of gusts at the viewing platform. • Safety: Many worshippers in the early morning and tour buses on weekends; please use crosswalks when crossing the road. ⸻ Location Check-ins (Attractions/Hotels/Restaurants) • 📍Nanfang'ao Nantian Temple (Golden Mazu, Jade Mazu)｜No. 17, Jiangxia Rd., Su'ao Township, Yilan County｜04:30–21:00. • 📍Nanfang'ao Viewing Platform｜Provincial Highway 9, Ding 5.5K (Open year-round, free). • 🏨 Yanbo Hotel Su'ao Four Seasons Twin Springs｜No. 38, Zhongzheng Rd., Su'ao Township, Yilan County. • 🍚 Miaokou Liao Rongchuan Rice Cake｜No. 9, Jiangxia Rd., Nanfang'ao Township, Su'ao Township, Yilan County. #Nanfang'ao #NantianTianTemple #GoldenMazu #JadeMazu #Su'ao #YilanTravel #Nanfang'aoViewingPlatform #FishingPortLife #JiangxiaRdFood #FishingVillageFaith #AuthenticExperience #DayTrip #EasternSea Breeze 🌊🙏🏻

Navigate to "No. 199, Xianghe Rd., Su'ao Township, Yilan County" to reach the entrance. Free parking is available within the park. One place, two paces: first, explore the desserts, then enjoy the breeze. Yimite is my favorite kind of tourist factory that offers both indoor and outdoor attractions and allows for leisurely exploration. The indoor rhythm: Push open the door, and on the left is a freezer—strawberry mochi, daifuku, and other sweets arranged like jewels; on the right is a tasting area and various rice snack gift boxes. I like to slowly pick out a couple of daifuku as a snack later, then go to the shelf to find rice crackers/rice chips, tasting them while watching the production process explanations, which even children can understand. The notices inside also remind visitors: "Guided tours are held twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon," making it fun and engaging. The outdoor rhythm: Passing through the glass door, you'll find a pebble path and shady trees at your feet, with water lilies growing on the surface of the pool; further in are everyone's favorite cold spring foot bath and a hand pump. In summer, sitting under an umbrella soaking your feet while watching the children chase each other on the grass, you really lose track of time. Many reviews mention that the cold spring pool is free to use and there's a pump experience nearby; some articles remind visitors that "for safety reasons, the pool is mainly for foot baths." Bring a small towel and a change of socks for a more relaxed experience.  ⸻ A Little Background Story: Turning "Rice" into a Playful Brand The core of Yimit is not just selling snacks, but making rice culture an understandable, experiential, and portable part of daily life. The park presents the evolution and production process of rice-based snacks through exhibition boards and pathways. A DIY workshop teaches you to make your own mochi or snow strawberry cake in 20-30 minutes (additional fee required, subject to on-site announcements). Outdoors, the park incorporates elements of Su'ao's carbonated cold springs, allowing visitors to experience a journey from taste to touch. This combination explains why many family/travel websites list it as their "first stop in Su'ao." ⸻ Following the Photos: My Half-Day at Yimit ① Entrance and Courtyard: Slow Down First The arched entrance and wooden frame resemble a country bakery; the garden on the right has outdoor seating, where I love to sip a free red bean drink and browse my loot. The park's lawns, lotus pond, and treehouses create a very lived-in atmosphere, and you can even occasionally encounter performances or family activities. ② Dessert Counter: Grab your "to-eat for the day" items first. I usually choose one fruit daifuku and one mochi. Freshly made, they have a chewy skin, fragrant filling, and moderate sweetness. If you find a seasonal item, the counter will clearly label it "for consumption today." For convenience, you can also simply take home a bag of mixed rice crackers. ③ DIY: 20-30 minutes of focused time. DIY mochi/snow strawberry biscuits are the most popular. The cost is separate; you can register on-site or make a reservation by phone. Children under 6 must be accompanied by an adult. The children's faces are filled with pride as they spread cream like snow mountains and hide strawberries inside. The finished products can be eaten immediately or taken in the car for an afternoon snack. ④ Cold Spring Foot Bath: Cool down from the travel heat. The delicate bubbles from the cold spring run down to your ankles, like the sea breeze of Su'ao carrying away all the heat. The nearby foot bath pump is so fun that children don't want to leave. Reminder: The cold spring pool is primarily for foot baths; please save swimming for Su'ao Cold Spring Park or other well-equipped facilities. ⸻ Travel Information Card • Name: Yimit Rice & Snack Tourist Factory (Yuewang Food) • Address: No. 199, Xianghe Rd., Su'ao Township, Yilan County • Opening Hours: 08:30–17:30 daily, open year-round • Admission: Free; DIY activities require additional payment (subject to on-site announcements) • Guided Tours: One in the morning and one in the afternoon daily, announced via on-site broadcasts • Parking: Free parking available within the park • Location: 10-minute drive from Su'ao Interchange on National Highway 5 ⸻ 7 Reasons You'll Love Yimit (Rational + Emotional) 1.

I sat under the umbrella, cutting open a mango daifuku. Inside, the flesh was moist and creamy, the mochi skin stretching into thin strands with my fingertips—like squeezing summer into a bite. My child played with a water pump nearby, water droplets bouncing and splashing onto their calves, their laughter washing away the fatigue of the journey. Before leaving, I grabbed two boxes of rice crackers and got in the car. The navigation switched back to National Highway 5. The fog on the windows hadn't cleared yet, and I was already thinking about what flavor of snow strawberry daifuku I'd make next time. 🙂 ⸻ • Yimit Rice Snack Tourist Factory Address: No. 199, Xianghe Rd., Su'ao Township, Yilan County Hours: 08:30–17:30 (Open all year round) | Free admission, DIY activities extra Guided tours: One in the morning and one in the afternoon daily (announced via broadcast) Parking: Free parking • 📍Crayon Castle (No. 500, Haishan West Rd., Su'ao Township) • 📍Su'ao Cold Spring Park (No. 6-4, Lengquan Rd., Su'ao Township)

The seafood is incredibly fresh, and the prices are incredibly affordable! See the Eight Scenic Spots of Guishan Island without landing on the island + see dolphins 🐬 (My hand speed isn't fast enough to take good photos) Saw tons of dolphins that day! Enjoy the air-conditioned views of Guishan Island from the boat 👍 Worth the price 🥰 I didn't do any research before going, but simply asked the owner of the rental shop which local restaurants were the best. 🤝 I didn't make any mistakes. Lewu Besides the hand rolls, the staff at this place will introduce the freshly caught fish of the day and explain how to cook it before ordering. d(^_^o) It was so delicious I couldn't even take a picture. 🤪 The sashimi portions are also huge. If you're unsure what to order, just look at the rankings on the wall to find your favorites! On the first day, we watched the sunset (err, there wasn't a sunset, lol. I wasn't afraid of the sun in the evening). The next morning, we watched the sunrise. After the sunrise, we went to the old street for breakfast. Since it was early, there were no lines. 🤣 Lao Zhang's breakfast bar was really delicious. 😋 I had a blast on my first trip to Toucheng, Yilan. ❤️ Oh, and there's also a traditional ice cream shop. My family and I all said it was super delicious. 🤭 Oh, and there's also a Mr. Brown Cafe. ☕️ It was crowded...a great place to take photos and check in... As a casual traveler like me, I felt a little ripped off by going to a cafe. LOL I took the Kuo-Kuang Bus from Taipei Nangang Bus Station to Toucheng, Yilan. It took about an hour, and the fare was cheap! Everyone dreads traffic jams when traveling back to Taipei from Yilan. I recommend the bus for the return trip as well! This time, I took the Kuo-Kuang Bus, which runs every hour, to Toucheng, Yilan. ✨ Because the bus has priority driving rights, it allows quick access to the highway and has dedicated lanes, so the journey from Yilan to Taipei's Nangang Bus Terminal takes about an hour. 🤫 I hope this transportation method is helpful to everyone reading this article. #LeWuSignatureVolume #LaoZhangBreakfastBar #YilanToucheng
