Yilan County is very close to Taipei, and it takes an hour to drive from Taipei to Yilan. Therefore, tourists who go to Taiwan for the first time, besides Taipei, will definitely choose to go to Yilan.

The trip to Baodao is always relatively easy. They all speak Mandarin and the language is barrier-free. It is very suitable for a person to travel freely and slowly. This time I arranged 5 days and 4 nights for myself, mainly to visit Taitung and meet friends by the way.

D1 Hongqiao—Songshan Toucheng Old Street Cultural Tour (Toucheng Cultural and Creative Park, Toucheng Binhai Park, Toucheng Old Street, A Zong Bingdian), stay at Yilan Zhongtian Hot Spring Hotel.

D2 Participate in the Longtan Lake tour of the leisure department of the hotel leisure department. In the afternoon, stay at Yilan Zhongtian Hot Spring Hotel in Yilan Chuanyi Center.

D3 High-speed rail Yilan-Taitung, Chulu Ranch, Luye High Terrace, stay at Taitung Luming Hotel.

D4 Xiaoyeliu, Sanxiantai, Donghe Steamed Buns, Upstream Water, Ennabia Coffee, stay at Taitung Luming Hotel.

D5 Songshan - Hongqiao

This is my 10th time to go, because the endorsement in May is about to expire, so I went to see my friends by the way. I chose Songshan Airport because it is located in the urban area of ​​Taipei. Although the airport is not big, it has convenient transportation. From Taipei to Yilan, you have to go through the Snow Mountain Tunnel. My friend told me that if you go back to Taipei from Yilan, there are a few days a week that there must be no less than 2 people in the car. If you drive through the tunnel alone, it is not allowed, because there are many time slots This tunnel is prone to traffic jams. As for the reason for the provision of no less than 2 people, it is not known.

Toucheng Binhai Forest Park

Tickets: Free

The master who picked me up at the hotel told me that there is a check-in point for new internet celebrities in Yilan that I must go to. I went there with a skeptical attitude.

This is a free scenic spot. There are really many scenic spots in Yilan that are free. It looks like an ancient castle from a distance.

The weather was not beautiful, cloudy, and the weather cleared up after I left.

The special shape of the octagon attracts many girls to take selfies

There are several old streets in Yilan, the more famous one is Toucheng Old Street.

A Zong Taro Ice on Toucheng Old Street is very famous, no matter what time you go there, you will always line up.

This is made with pure taro, real ingredients and delicious.

Taiwan is still quite hot in November, a T-shirt and a light jacket are all you need, and you can walk around with a bowl of taro ice.

Tired of walking, I walked into a cafe called Tian Yuan. The owner of the cafe is an opera actor and loves opera very much.

Order a pot of scented tea and enjoy the comfort of the afternoon. There are a few cute kittens basking in the sun in the yard, isn’t this the life I want?

There are also many snacks in Yilan, and I like all kinds of side dishes very much.

This bowl of handmade fish ball soup is very good, and there are many kinds of snacks. No wonder this small shop has been full of customers.

Longtan Lake Park

Tickets: Free

It is not far from the hotel to drive to Longtan Lake Park. I thought it was just a small park, but I didn't expect it to be a big park with mountains and lakes.

This is a free itinerary for the Leisure Department of Zhongtian Hot Spring Hotel. The hotel guests can choose to take a morning walk in Longtan Lake, and there is a shuttle bus to pick up and drop off guests between the hotel and Longtan Lake Park, which is very considerate.

There is a group of strange fish living here. When they lay eggs, they will rub these stone steps with their stomachs, and the eggs will be excreted and flow into the river to become young fish.

The scenery here is pleasant and the air is good. Many old people and children will come here for a walk in the morning.

Yilan Arts Park

Tickets: NT$150

The park is very large, divided into six areas including life crafts, style life, and folk arts and crafts.

Walking in here, there is a feeling of walking into old Shanghai. Cheongsam, candied haws, and Chinese clothing all describe Chinese culture and old Shanghai customs.

Yilan Zhongtian Hot Spring Hotel

When you come to Yilan, you must soak in hot springs. November is also the best season to start soaking in hot springs. The hot springs here are also called beauty soup. When you get off from the Jiaoxi transfer station, you can see a European-style building, which is the landmark there, Yilan Zhongtian Hot Spring Resort Hotel. The baroque hotel should be the first in Jiaoxi, Yilan, and the hotel is also very new, opening in 2017. Its quilts come from the United States, and the toiletries also come from abroad. Those who like private bathing can do it in the room. There are indoor and outdoor bathing pools and jacuzzi pools on the first floor, which are free for hotel guests.

I like hotels with light colors. I booked a room with a living room. The spacious space is very good.

Here comes the important point, this is the private pool in my room. Girls may like to soak in hot springs, especially those who are afraid of the cold like me. The moment they get into the pool, they can feel relaxed except for warmth.

Register for the public bathing pool from here

I go out to find food every day, and I don't have time to enjoy it here. Sometimes travel does not require visiting scenic spots every day, finding a hotel you like, experiencing various facilities in the hotel, and taking a good rest, this is the real vacation.

In addition to the outside, the hotel also has a lot of delicious food.

Peking Duck has also come to Yilan. It is said that a branch has been opened in Yilan. The local cherry duck is selected, so the locals call it Cherry Duck.

I have tasted a few, and the taste is very authentic, but Taiwanese people don't know much about Peking duck yet, and they are trying it slowly.

Yilan is also famous for its seafood, and Le Pei Cafeteria also has a lot of seafood, and the buffet dishes are very rich.

As night fell, tiredness slowly struck. Although I am traveling alone, I am not afraid. I enjoy the surprises and discoveries during the trip and look forward to tomorrow's itinerary. Good night, Yilan.
