Toucheng
Toucheng Township sits on Yilan's northeast coast and is best known for ocean views, surf beaches, the Lanyang Museum, and boat trips toward Guishan Island, also called Turtle Island. It is one of the first Yilan stops after the Hsuehshan Tunnel, making it a popular coastal escape from Taipei. Travelers come for Wai'ao Beach, Toucheng Old Street, seafood, paragliding, and seasonal whale and dolphin watching tours. The township has a slower seaside rhythm than Luodong or Jiaoxi, with guesthouses, cafes, and beach activities spread along the coast. Toucheng is ideal for visitors who want a mix of culture, sea views, and easy access to Yilan's outdoor experiences.
