This farm has more farm animals than usual, along with animal explanations and meet-and-greets, making it worth the ticket price. The environment is kept very clean, and there are rest areas for visitors to use freely. The admission ticket includes a small ball of hay to feed the sheep and alpacas, but you have to pay extra for feed for many other types of animals, and the portions are quite small. There is a small, free parking lot set up by the farm near the farm itself. There are quite a few animal activities, but the animal activity times at the ticket booth may be incorrect, so be sure to double-check when you arrive. There seem to be fewer staff on weekdays, with only one person at the ticket booth, so I waited a long time in line to exchange my ticket.

The National Center for Traditional Arts boasts a beautiful environment, blending traditional architecture, craft experiences, and performing arts, making it a great place for families to visit. The park features numerous hands-on experiences, opera performances, and unique snacks, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the rich cultural atmosphere of Taiwan. The overall layout is clear, with plenty of photo-worthy spots, but some shops are a bit pricey, and it can get crowded when there are many people. Overall, it is well worth planning a half-day or full-day trip, offering both educational and recreational opportunities to relax and unwind. Experiences: Facilities:

This is my "save the best for last tour" Unfortunately, we are unable to ride the Bongbong train because we are little late but the view here is awesome and the weather is very cold and we love it. I love the hotspring here too.

The staff at the park are wonderful, very friendly and enthusiastic, making the visitor experience fantastic. The whole place feels like a dreamy paradise, and anyone who loves cute animals will be thrilled to come here! There are so many capybaras! Including baby ones, and like the sika deer, you can interact with them up close. I really hope to have the opportunity to come again next time. Each sika deer has its own name tag, making it easy for visitors to identify them and interact through feeding. I remember being a little afraid of how lively they were at the time, and it was difficult to take a good photo, but I really think they are all so cute. In addition to seeing small animals, the park also sells food, fortune sticks and other relaxing or fun experiences. A very worthwhile Yilan attraction to visit, I loved it!

The staff is dedicated to explaining and introducing the animals' names, characteristics, and preferred ways of interacting, making the experience highly recommended! The park isn't large, but it's very clean. The staff promptly cleans up after the animals, and there are many diverse and adorable hands-on workshops available!

I had a wonderful time at Yilan Zhang Mei Grandma Farm, which I booked through Klook. The experience was really enjoyable, especially interacting with the animals. I got to feed and play with capybaras and a variety of sheeps, which was such a fun and unique experience. On top of that, the ticket included free animal feed, so I could continue engaging with the animals throughout the visit. The farm also served a delicious onion pancake, which was a tasty treat after spending time with the animals. Overall, it was a fun, relaxing, and memorable visit — highly recommended for animal lovers and families!

Interesting concept where the exhibits are visited from the top floor down to the bottom floor. The place closes at 5pm, and I only arrived at 3.30pm which I did not have enough time to look through everything thoroughly. Some of the exhibits were interactive.

Wonderful boat ride out to Guishan Island. We saw schools of dolphin play! The island is also quite pretty after we landed though the walk was a bit short it was good to hear the history. the meet up location was confusing. You need to go into the Visitor Station on the 1st floor past the gift shop to register. That’s not quite clear from Klook instructions. Be sure to arrive early. They never emailed the night before like they said will happen. Just watch the weather.

Jiaoxi Forest Bath is a great place to relax and soak in the hot springs! Buying the vitality spa ticket through Klook is super cost-effective, and the fact that there's no extra charge on holidays makes it an excellent value. The park environment is tranquil, and the Japanese-style bath surrounded by greenery makes you feel like you're in Japan. The service staff are friendly and courteous, providing clear guidance. The facilities are well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere is clean and comfortable. After soaking in the hot springs, your whole body feels warm and cozy, and all your fatigue is swept away! It's perfect for a day trip in Yilan, and I recommend it to friends who want to relax and rejuvenate. I will definitely visit again next time!
