Yilan
Just right beside Taipei lies Yilan, a wonderful nature spot right outside the city. In just a short 30-minute train ride from the capital, be ready to explore a treasure trove of hot springs and natural wonders!
Relax and take a dip the hot springs around the Jiaoxi area or go on a hike at Tang-Wei-Gou park before rewarding your tired feet at a public hot spring. Head to The Jimmy Square at Yilan City, a top attraction, filled with beautiful illustrations and statues of characters drawn by famous Taiwanese illustrator, Jimmy Liao. Take a deep breath of fresh air and enjoy the greeneries around Luodong Forestry Culture Park, an area that played a crucial role in the timber industry.

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.
