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
Yilan County’s top bookings on Klook lean into nature and culture, with Zoos & aquariums, Historical sites, and Events & shows among the leading categories, plus plenty of wellness and short cruises. Demand peaks in July and falls to a low in March, giving the destination a clear high-season rhythm that shapes availability through the year.
Best times to visit and how prices move
According to Klook booking data, July is the busiest month while March sees the weakest demand. Prices fluctuate across the year: they climb toward a priciest point in January and drop to a typically low level in February, with mid-year months showing mixed pricing. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, February and March tend to suit that aim; if you prefer the full peak-season atmosphere, plan for July. Note that demand and price don’t always move in lockstep here — the busiest month isn’t the absolute priciest, so you can sometimes find reasonable deals outside the busiest windows.
Tips for travelers from the United States
Most visitors from the United States book activities about a week ahead, so a short amount of pre-trip planning usually covers popular tours and experiences. Last-minute bookings are possible (often up to a day before), but for travel in July it’s safer to secure key activities earlier; conversely, February–March can be easier for spontaneous plans. Use Klook to check real past booking patterns and lock in the experiences you most want before peak dates fill up.
