Simply scan the QR code to redeem your experience ticket. The scallion pancake making process is taught in detail, with several staff members assisting participants. After about 30 minutes of preparation, the pancakes will be immediately taken to be fried. Approximately 15 minutes later, you can enjoy your freshly made scallion pancakes on the spot. Experience: Good

We booked this trip on a whim, and it turned out to be unexpectedly fun and satisfying. We made delicious scallion pancakes and had the experience of picking our own scallions and harvesting jabuticaba berries. The kids were absolutely thrilled. Highly recommend!

Even though I had a composition in mind, my skills couldn't quite keep up, haha. I wanted to create a realistic, gradient-style traditional Chinese painting, but it ended up looking a bit messy. I hope it still looks decent after firing. I'd like to try again next time, but waiting for the finished product takes so long!

It's quite fun and interesting. Essentially, what you make is no different from what's sold, but you can't choose the flavors, and making 10 pieces in 30 minutes is a bit tiring... It's better to do it with friends or a partner.

The Red Turtle Cake DIY experience was incredibly fun! Not only did we get to experience making a traditional Taiwanese delicacy firsthand, but we also learned a lot of interesting facts about Red Turtle Cakes. It was truly a rewarding experience 🤍 Under the guidance of our instructor, we successfully made our own Red Turtle Cakes and even got to eat them right away 😋 It's true that food you make yourself always tastes extra delicious! It's wonderful to see a group of people quietly promoting traditional Taiwanese culture, ensuring these precious cultural elements are preserved and seen by more people 😽🫶🏻

Bringing children here for a DIY experience is great; the venue is spacious and bright, and there are many time slots to choose from, which is very convenient for travelers. There's also plenty of parking. During the activity, the instructor was very patient in teaching the children, and they could take their creations home to enjoy. The kids felt a great sense of accomplishment! 👍

This was my first time making jam, and I'm so glad I got to experience this activity. The process was fun and enjoyable, the environment was very comfortable, and the afternoon tea was delicious! I'm especially grateful for the documented process, which allows me to cherish the memory. I've also learned how to make jam!

What to know before visiting Yilan

Quick snapshot of Yilan County and what to expect

Yilan County’s top bookings on Klook show it as a relaxed destination where zoos & aquariums, historical sites, events & shows, massages and cruises shape most visits. Demand peaks in January and is much lower around March, so the year swings between short high-season bursts and quieter stretches. Activities range from low-cost cultural stops to higher-priced cruises and spa-style massages.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows January as the busiest month and March as the quietest. Prices across the year rise and fall independently at times: for example, September appears as one of the priciest months on Klook while some of the busiest and quietest months differ from that price peak. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for March or late-year quieter months when price levels trend down; if you prefer lively, peak-season atmosphere, plan for January. Note that September can be relatively expensive on Klook even when it isn’t the absolute busiest.

Tips for travellers

Most travellers book about five days ahead, with many last-minute options available a day out and early-booking benefits if you plan nearly a month ahead. For short, flexible trips you can comfortably book activities a few days before arrival, but during January’s peak consider reserving popular cruises, events or massages earlier to secure spots. Use Klook to compare available experiences and lock in plans when the timing and price fit your trip.
