Lanyang Museum

4.7/5

284 reviews

Lanyang Museum combines local marine tourism features, connecting the Northeast Coast scenic area, Toucheng Old Street, local communities, and exhibition halls to form a tourism corridor. It serves as a cultural tourism hub in the scenic resource zone, aiming to revive the glory of Shihgang Spring Sails while realizing the concept of "Yilan as a museum." [Architectural Features] The main structure of the museum peaks toward Turtle Island in the east and gradually slopes down to ground level in the southwest, forming a triangular pyramid. The exterior walls are directly embedded into the earth, evoking the imagery of towering boulders and harmonizing with the black reefs in the park's waters. The facade design is inspired by the musical notes of Vivaldi's violin concerto "The Four Seasons." The architect arranged stone and cast aluminum panels along the melody lines, creating a dynamic musical tribute that mirrors the farmland views of Lanyang Plain. "Permanent Exhibition - Ocean Layer: The rivers of the Lanyang River confluence plain flow into the sea, connecting with the Kuroshio Current from the equator. Let us follow the tides, dive deep, and rise with the upwelling, experiencing the tremors of undersea volcanoes amidst the migration of glass eel schools and the swaying of corals." [Permanent exhibition on the plains levelWater and rivers have shaped the lifestyle of the Yilan Plain. The focus of the Plains Level exhibition at Lanyang Museum highlights the arterial rivers that once deeply influenced the socio-economic life of the Lanyang Plain, as well as the connection between rural wisdom and water in daily life.

Luodong Night Market

3.2

4.4/5

71 reviews

On the Lanyang Plain in Yilan County, the place name Luodong Town comes from the local pronunciation of "monkey" (lao-dong). Today, what makes this small town famous far and wide is no longer the monkeys in the hills, but the brightly lit culinary scene centered aroundZhongshan Park—Luodong Night Market. Luodong Night Market's highlight is the array of dishes that capture Yilan's local flavors. Angelica mutton soup is one of the two signature stalls that always draws long lines. The herbal broth is mellow and not greasy, and a full plate of mutton slices has no gamey smell. When paired with fried stinky tofu that is crispy outside and tender inside, it becomes a classic, stomach-warming comfort. Sanxing scallions are Yilan's signature ingredient. The Sanxing scallion pancake wraps freshly rolled dough around an overflowing amount of chopped scallions and minced meat, fried until golden and crispy, releasing a burst of scallion aroma when you bite into it. Stuffed tapioca balls, with a whole red bean tucked inside each chewy ball and served with icy shaved ice, create a charming hot-and-cold contrast.

A beautifully designed museum to represent tbe four season and using the building to reflect on the actually shape of Yilan geography. The museum has 4 floors and should be view from 4th floor back down to the first floor. The exhibitions are organised in its historical chronological order.

Yanbo Huashijian – Yilan Traditional Arts – Located in the National Center for Traditional Arts, Yilan Traditional Arts Park. With the concept of "Overnight stay in Lanyang Arts City, strolling through ancient alleys," it allows guests to stay comfortably, play freely, and gather at the center of traditional arts, discovering the cultural and artistic traces hidden in everyday life, deeply experiencing and promoting Taiwan's traditional arts. All guest rooms are designed by Huang Sheng-yuan Architects, featuring nostalgic terrazzo floors, corridors, ponds, pavilions, and wooden chairs. Wandering freely through the rich Minnan-style architecture feels like stepping back in time to old Taiwan, leaving behind moments filled with profound cultural memories. Part 3

Super lovely animal kingdom where you can get close to some of animals through the visit. Some animals are even allowed to feed or pet. You have to get there by occasional bus or take a taxi, but it's really worth it.

Guishan Island, also known as Guishan Islet, is the largest island in Yilan County and the only active volcano in Taiwan. It is named after its turtle-like appearance. Due to its prominent terrain, Guishan Island was once listed as a military stronghold and became a controlled area for the garrison of the National Army. On August 1, 2000, Guishan Island was officially opened to tourism. The special geology has formed many spectacular views, such as the Rising Sun on Guishan Mountain, the Smoke on Guidao Island, the Stalactites in the Spectacle Cave, the Turtle Eggs, the Cliffs of Turtle Rock, the God Turtle Wearing a Hat, and the Spirit Turtle Wagging its Tail.

Recommended reason: I am studying in Yilan now. The first time I came to this place was with my father. He brought me here for the first time and drove for a long time to go home, about six hours. Actually, I miss it very much. My father worked very hard and treated me very well. I think the Dongwang steak there is delicious and affordable, but the portion is not very big (I recommend adding noodles). There is also a stall outside 711 that sells grilled squid, which is also super delicious.

Making scallion pancakes was a very fun and enjoyable experience, and even children could try it themselves; the scallion pancakes they made were delicious. However, the scallion-picking experience was just average; each person could only pick two scallions, and the time felt very rushed, leaving insufficient time for a truly fulfilling experience.
