4. [Shimizu geothermal] Cook food in hot springs in the thick of the sky
Besides being a natural scenic spot, the most popular activity at Qingshui Geothermal is using natural geothermal springs to cook food. There are several cooking areas for visitors to experience. You can purchase items like corn and eggs directly at the park’s shop and rent cooking baskets. Remember to keep an eye on your food to prevent it from being taken by other visitors by mistake.

5. [Taipingshan] A National Forest Recreation Area Beautiful in All Seasons
Featuring the stunning “Jiancing Nostalgic Trail” and the vintage Bong Bong Train that travels through misty forests, this area has become one of the most difficult mountain destinations in Taiwan to book a room! It boasts mist-shrouded seas of clouds, lush forests, and seasonal landscapes that change throughout the year—cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant greenery in summer, brilliant red maples in autumn, and the chance of a silvery snowscape in winter.
Must-Visit Recommendations in the Park:
Bong Bong Train
The Bong Bong Train is a classic feature of Taipingshan. Originally a small train used for transporting timber, it is now a popular activity for visitors to experience forest railway scenery. While riding the train, you can admire the forest views along the way and feel the historical atmosphere of the former logging industry.
Bong Bong Train Ticket Notes:
- Tickets must be purchased on-site. For remaining ticket counts and the latest announcements, please refer to: Official Bong Bong Train Ticket Information
- The second and fourth Tuesday of every month are maintenance days, and the Bong Bong Train will not operate (postponed to the next day if it falls on a national holiday).
- The first train departs at 7:30 AM and the last at 2:30 PM, with trains running approximately every hour. The journey takes about 20 minutes.
- If staying at the villa within the park, you can pre-purchase tickets for specific time slots the following day.
See the Sunny Nostalgia Trail
Acclaimed as one of the world’s most beautiful paths, it was converted from the old “Jiancing Timber Transport Track.” You can still see the remains of the wooden tracks covered in mossy greenery. Combined with the frequent mountain mist, the nostalgic beauty of the tracks in the fog is a favorite for photography enthusiasts! Moreover, it is only 900 meters long with a very gentle slope, making it the best value trail in the park.
Cuifeng Lake
Cueifong Lake is the highest lake in the Taipingshan area, surrounded by dense forest. The lake surface reflects the blue sky and mountains like a mirror. It is perfect for a leisurely stroll while enjoying the scenery; the tranquility of the lake area is captivating. In autumn and winter, the red leaves of the lakeside forest add a touch of poetry.
Taipingshan Villa
Located in the main area of Taipingshan, the villa provides accommodation and dining services, making it an ideal stopover. The observation deck near the villa is a perfect spot for viewing sunrises, seas of clouds, and night views, allowing you to enjoy nature’s most magnificent moments at dawn or dusk without traveling far.
Hato-no-sawa hot springs
The spring quality is a weakly alkaline sodium bicarbonate mixed spring, with water appearing a light sapphire blue and feeling smooth on the skin. The bathing area requires a separate ticket; both outdoor pools and indoor bathhouses are available. Swimming caps or bath caps are mandatory. If not soaking, you can walk the nearby Jiuzhize Nature Trail (about 1 hour round trip), then head to the cooking troughs to DIY boil eggs and corn. It’s a fun and uniquely savory experience; the corn is even more impressive than the eggs—it’s incredibly sweet!
Dayuan Mountain Trail
This trail is suitable for hikers with better physical fitness. It is approximately 3.7 kilometers long, with dense trees and beautiful scenery along the way. The Dayuan Mountain Observation Deck at the top of the trail is the best spot to overlook the entire Taipingshan area; on a clear day, you can even see the distant Lanyang Plain.
- Opening Hours: Weekdays and winter break weekdays 06:00–20:00; Weekends, national holidays, and summer break 04:00–20:00 (Partial closure from March 3 to April 30, 2026; see Official Website Opening Hours for details).

6. [Luodong Night Market] Yilan’s Largest Tourist Night Market
Luodong Night Market is Yilan’s most popular tourist night market. While not huge in area, the vendors are dense and choices are diverse, featuring various traditional delicacies such as scallion pancakes, Sansing scallion meat buns, pork fritters (Bu-rou), and pig’s blood cake.

- Opening Hours: 15:00–00:00
- Additional Planning Tip: Luodong Night Market is crowded on holidays. If your itinerary is focused on Toucheng or Jiaoxi, you might consider Jiaoxi Hot Spring Street or Dongmen Night Market in Yilan City. If you happen to be there on a Wednesday, you can also visit the locals’ favorite “Qinggou Night Market,” which is open only on Wednesdays.
7. [Guishan Island Whale Watching] Experience the Wonder of the Blue Ocean
In the past, Guishan Island was a restricted military zone due to its strategic location. Now, its unique wild flora and fauna and the rich surrounding marine ecology have made it a popular tourist destination. When visiting Yilan, we highly recommend joining a Guishan Island tour led by a local guide to embrace the blue sea and sky and admire the beautiful world of whales and dolphins! The best season for whale and dolphin watching is from March to November, when the weather and sea conditions are more stable.
Highly recommended by over a hundred travelers, Onetaiwantrip’s exclusive whale watching discount packages!

【Duck赏 (Smoked Duck)】Savory, Tender, and Finger-Licking Good
In Taiwan’s early agricultural society, resources were scarce, and high-end gifts for holidays were rare. “Duck赏” (Ya-shang) was named to mean using this delicacy of “duck” as a high-end gift to “reward” (shang) the recipient.
Traditional production involves over ten steps: removing the organs, cleaning, propping open with bamboo, salting for seven days, air-drying outdoors, and then smoking over charcoal. It is savory, tender, and very popular.

[Custard Jelly Roll] A signature dessert with rich layers
Featuring a smooth and creamy filling, the outer sponge cake is light and fluffy with a sweet yet balanced flavor, making it a top choice for many tourists’ souvenirs. In addition to the classic original milk flavor, various options such as matcha and chocolate have been developed to meet diverse preferences. However, because the panna cotta filling inside the cake roll requires refrigeration, it should be consumed as soon as possible unless it can be moved to a refrigerated facility within 2 hours.
The two most famous milk jelly roll brands are “Nobel” and “I-Shun-Hsuan.” Nobel has branches in Luodong and Jiaoxi, while I-Shun-Hsuan has branches in Luodong, Jiaoxi, and Yilan City. According to netizen comparisons, Nobel’s milk jelly is very rich, perfect for those who love a strong milk flavor, and the outer cake is dense and sweet, pairing well with coffee or tea. I-Shun-Hsuan’s milk jelly is more refreshing with a moderate milk aroma and lower sweetness than typical cakes, and the crust has a hint of honey fragrance, making it a better choice for those who prefer less sweetness.
Recommended Flavors:
- I-Shun-Hsuan: Pure Taro Panna Cotta Roll, Tiramisu Panna Cotta Roll, Strawberry Panna Cotta Roll (the Cheddar Cheese Pastry and Napoleon Pie are also excellent)
- Nobel: Strawberry Panna Cotta Roll, Taro Panna Cotta Roll, Pearl Milk Tea Panna Cotta Roll

Frequently asked questions about Yilan chartered buses
Q: Which Yilan chartered car service is recommended? How do I choose to avoid a bad experience?
- Years of passenger experience, familiar with Northern Taiwan routes, top choice for cross-county departures, live customer service → Onetaiwantrip Chartered Car
- Suitable for foreign travelers, well-known platforms with guaranteed service → KKday/Klook
- Flexible one-way transfers, fewer movements → Find Taxi/Line Go
Do not choose a chartered car provider based solely on price. It is recommended to select “legal rental vehicles (license plates starting with R or T),” providers with “Google Reviews of 4.5 stars or higher” and specific review content, and confirm which fees are included in the quote.
Q: What is the price for a Yilan private chartered day tour?
For chartered car fees departing from Yilan (pick-up in Yilan downtown), an 8-hour 5-seater starts at approximately $4,400 TWD, a 7-seater starts at $4,600, a 9-seater starts at $5,000, and a 10-hour luxury 9-seater celebrity van (Grand T) starts at approximately $10,000. If the itinerary includes remote or mountainous attractions such as Taipingshan or areas south of Su’ao, the cost will be higher due to longer driving times.
Q: How much does a one-day private car charter from Taipei to Yilan cost?
For a one-day Yilan private charter tour departing from Taipei, an 8-hour 5-seater starts from about NT$5,200, and a 10-hour option starts from about NT$5,600. If your itinerary includes mountain routes such as Taipingshan, driving time will be longer and additional charges may apply. We recommend contacting customer service directly to confirm.
The difference from local Yilan charters is that the fee from Taipei includes at least 2 hours of round-trip driving time, fuel, and highway tolls. This is suitable for travelers staying in Taipei who want a same-day round trip without transferring between public transport.
Q: How are the fees calculated for 2-day/1-night or 3-day/2-night Yilan chartered tours?
Multi-day charter fees are basically the same as “daily charter fee x number of days.” The average daily cost may be slightly higher due to the driver’s accommodation fee (usually $1,000–$1,500 per night), but the difference is not significant.
Taking a two-day charter as an example, the cost can be roughly estimated as the daily charter fee x 2. The actual quote depends on the itinerary, departure date, and vehicle model. It is recommended to provide a complete itinerary to customer service for an inquiry.
Q: What is the approximate daily price for a Yilan taxi charter?
The price for a standard 5-seater taxi charter in Yilan is approximately $3,500–$5,000 TWD for 8 hours. You need to negotiate the price with the driver yourself as there is no fixed rate. These are usually small vehicles, making them more suitable for groups of 4 people or fewer.
Q: How do I choose between a Private Charter, Car Rental, or Taxi Charter in Yilan?
- Cross-county itineraries, traveling with seniors or children, unfamiliar with road conditions → Private Charter (Rental car with driver)
- Limited budget, desire for maximum flexibility → Self-drive Car Rental
- Fewer than 4 people, simple or spontaneous itinerary → Find a local taxi to negotiate a charter
| Private Charter (Rental car with driver) | Self-drive Car Rental | Taxi Charter | |
|---|---|---|---|
| outlay | Medium to High | Low, 5-seater available for under $2,000 per day | Varies; full-day charters require self-negotiation |
| Suitable Number of People | 2–8 people | 1–5 people | 1–4 people |
| Level of Freedom | High, itinerary can be adjusted at any time | Highest | Medium, requires discussion with the driver; vehicle model limitations |
| Itinerary planning | ✅ Good drivers will recommend hidden gems | ❌ Research on your own | Depends on the driver |
| Driver fatigue, parking hassles | ✅ Handled by the driver | ❌ Drive yourself; parking spaces are hard to find on holidays | ✅ Handled by the driver |
| Best For | Traveling with seniors or children, unfamiliar with roads, cross-county travel | Experienced independent travelers, limited budget | Small groups, simple or spontaneous itineraries |
Q: How long does it take to drive from Taipei to Yilan?
From Taipei downtown to Yilan via National Highway No. 5 (Xueshan Tunnel), it takes about 60 minutes in good traffic. However, on holidays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (Taipei to Yilan), it can easily take 1.5 to 2.5 hours. On Sunday afternoons from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM (Yilan to Taipei), heavy congestion is common, and High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) controls are in effect.
It is recommended to depart before 8:00 AM for the outbound trip and leave Yilan for Taipei before 3:00 PM for the return trip to best avoid peak congestion periods.
Q: Will the Yilan chartered car driver help plan the itinerary?
It is most efficient to have your own ideas and let the driver provide adjustment suggestions. Most charter providers have popular fixed routes for reference. It is recommended to provide a draft of your “desired attractions and route” when booking. You can then discuss details with the driver before departure or on the day of the trip to help judge if there is enough time. Experienced drivers are often happy to recommend hidden gems or local delicacies.
However, not every driver can provide in-depth commentary like a professional tour guide. If you require such services, it is recommended to inform the provider clearly and confirm in advance.
Q: Is a 9-seater vehicle enough for nine people?
Absolutely not! According to regulations, the capacity of a “9-seater” model includes the driver, meaning it can carry a maximum of 8 passengers. If all 8 passengers bring large luggage, the space will be extremely cramped, and the luggage may not even fit.
It is recommended that groups of 9 people choose a minibus or split into two vehicles. This provides more space for a comfortable ride and easier interaction, ensuring the highest travel quality.
