Guishan Island

This trip to Guishan Island in Yilan was truly amazing, and looking back on it still puts me in such a great mood! The weather on the day we set sail was absolutely fantastic. The azure sea paired with the warm sunshine (perhaps a bit too warm) made just sitting on the boat and feeling the ocean breeze feel incredibly therapeutic. The most surprising and exciting part was that we were the very first boat to encounter a pod of dolphins! We estimated there were about 60 to 100 dolphins leaping and swimming all around us. The shock and emotion of seeing them up close like that are truly beyond words—we were just so lucky! Stepping onto the mysterious Guishan Island for the first time, the tour guide's explanations were a major highlight of the entire trip. Their delivery was lively and full of humor, making the ecology and historical stories sound like a comedy show. Being able to see so many cute dolphins in such gorgeous weather and listening to such entertaining guidance made for an extremely fulfilling and happy day, leaving me with wonderful memories to cherish!

This was my first time booking a Klook tour. The day before, they thoughtfully sent a text message with the meeting time and location (including a photo), which was a huge plus! I hadn't been to Guishan Island before and was curious about the itinerary. To my surprise, many people participated in the 401 Highland climb that day. Our guide, Mr. Dong, also climbed the entire 401 Highland with us; he must be the hardest-working guide in all of Taiwan. We arrived on the island in the morning, received a brief introduction, and then immediately started climbing the 401 Highland. The weather that day was hot and humid, and I was completely exhausted by the time we descended. In the afternoon, we took a boat tour around Guishan Island, and the onboard guide provided a very detailed explanation. We returned to port around 3 PM.

From the Line customer service, to the check-in counter staff, to the crew members on the boat, everyone made me feel so warm and welcome! Here, I saw Taiwan's most beautiful scenery: "strong human kindness." Even traveling alone, I wasn't afraid of not being taken care of. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience, and thank you to the staff for sharing their knowledge. Next time, I'll remember to get enough sleep and take motion sickness medication! Although the waves were too strong to land on the island today, I saw many friendly and adorable dolphins, the beautiful Yin-Yang Sea, and the Milk Sea. The explanations were also very clear and interesting. Next time, I want to go to 401! It was my first time seeing Guishan Island and dolphins up close, and I was deeply moved. Thank you to nature for its beauty; I hope everyone will help protect it. The park around the harbor and Sunrise Beach are also very beautiful and worth visiting!

Five stars aren't enough! George made our trip truly incredible. Between the gorgeous weather, his fantastic food recommendations, and his insider tips, everything was top-notch. The highlight was definitely the Yilan animal farm, we absolutely loved meeting the animals, especially the capybaras! We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Visiting the Lanyang Museum gave me a deeper understanding of Yilan's natural environment and cultural history. The museum's exterior is famous for its sloping triangular design, inspired by Yilan's common "single-sided mountain" terrain. The building itself is like a work of art, blending seamlessly with the surrounding wetland landscape, leaving a deep impression upon arrival. The museum's exhibits are rich and diverse, offering detailed introductions to everything from Yilan's geological evolution and climatic characteristics to the lifestyles of its early inhabitants. For example, through models and multimedia displays, visitors can learn about the formation process of the Lanyang Plain and how the local people developed unique lifestyles in response to the northeast monsoon and rainy climate. These exhibits are not only informative but also highly interactive, making the visit engaging. I particularly enjoyed the sections that showcase traditional industries and culture, such as fishing, agriculture, and local beliefs. These exhibits convey Yilan's profound human touch and cultural heritage. Through real object displays and recreated scenarios, it felt as if I could see the daily lives of past residents, making history more than just words in a book. Overall, the Lanyang Museum is not just a place to gain knowledge; it's also a space where one can slow down and appreciate the beauty of architecture and nature. This visit allowed me to learn more about Yilan and to cherish Taiwan's diverse and rich local culture even more. If I have the chance, I will recommend this museum to friends and family, so they can experience this educational and aesthetically pleasing museum for themselves.

The itinerary allowed plenty of time for leisurely photos and sightseeing. Our guide, Xiao Hei, was very friendly. The weather for whale watching was excellent, with calm seas, and we saw many dolphins. The onboard guide provided information about the history and topography of Guishan Island, as well as the different types of dolphins.
