Toucheng Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Whale spotting minutes away from Taipei

Getting There - Drive or bus that heads to toucheng, about 50minutes ride. Attractions - Whale spotting, Stand Up Paddling, Island tour. At toucheng, there are plenty of water activities along the Gui Shan Island. From hiking to swimming and even SUP. You can even charter a private hatch of up to 10pax at only 800/person. Food & Restaurants - Toucheng Old Street Night market. It’s quite quiet at toucheng night market on the weekdays. Not many stalls open on weekdays either. However it gets crowded during the weekends. I personally enjoyed the whale spotting experiment where whales and dolphin swim alongside your yatch. #beachlife

Island you must visit when travel to Yilan

Believe me, the scenery at Guishan Island is stunning. Most of the ecosystem there is well preserved due to there being only less than 20 people, mainly the military service volunteers who will stay there for a long duration. There is also a choice to join the SUP activity there, but due to the late reservation and time constraints, I didn't join. I will definitely join it next time I visit.

It is said that people who see the dolphins will be super lucky. They drove from the pier of Jiaoxi yesterday to find dolphins near Guishan Island. Despite the wind and waves, the ship's shaking level caught up with the Antarctic through the Drake Strait, and there was no seasickness in the Drake Strait. It was still seasick yesterday. These are nothing, fortunately, I saw thousands of dolphins jumping and chasing at sea, and have been chasing our boat to jump. It is said that the dolphins have six or seven-year-old IQs. It is really like this. Applause them. They seem to understand and understand, they will give you a 360-degree flip of the sea ballet, which is super good.
