Guishan Island

I went with friends to Wushih Harbor to take a boat to Guishan Island, and we saw long-beaked spinner dolphins! We were so lucky and happy 🐬 The captain said dolphins have the intelligence of a 6-year-old child and enjoy interacting, so they understand when you clap and cheer! It was so much fun! History ➡️ Residents settled on the island during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, primarily making a living through fishing. The population once reached 700 people. In 1977, due to military needs, residents were forcibly relocated, and the island was closed. The residents moved to Renzhe New Village in Toucheng. In 2000, the island officially opened to tourism.

Det var första gången jag bokade en Klook-resa. Dagen innan skickade de ett mycket detaljerat meddelande med information om mötestid och plats (med bilder), vilket var ett stort plus! Eftersom jag aldrig hade varit på Guishan Island var jag nyfiken på hur resplanen skulle se ut. Jag blev förvånad över hur många som deltog i bestigningen av 401-höjden den dagen. Vår guide, herr Dong, klättrade också hela vägen upp till 401-höjden, han måste vara den mest hårt arbetande guiden i Taiwan. På morgonen, direkt efter en kort introduktion på ön, började vi klättra upp till 401-höjden. Vädret var kvavt och fuktigt den dagen, så jag var helt utmattad när vi kom ner. På eftermiddagen åkte vi runt Guishan Island och guiden på båten förklarade allt mycket noggrant. Vi återvände runt 15:00.

From the Line customer service, to the check-in counter staff, to the crew members on the boat, everyone made me feel so warm and welcome! Here, I saw Taiwan's most beautiful scenery: "strong human kindness." Even traveling alone, I wasn't afraid of not being taken care of. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience, and thank you to the staff for sharing their knowledge. Next time, I'll remember to get enough sleep and take motion sickness medication! Although the waves were too strong to land on the island today, I saw many friendly and adorable dolphins, the beautiful Yin-Yang Sea, and the Milk Sea. The explanations were also very clear and interesting. Next time, I want to go to 401! It was my first time seeing Guishan Island and dolphins up close, and I was deeply moved. Thank you to nature for its beauty; I hope everyone will help protect it. The park around the harbor and Sunrise Beach are also very beautiful and worth visiting!

This tour is an interesting adventure into the laidback city of Yilan, covering a varied spread of different attractions! I really enjoyed my time even though I was travelling alone, and would recommend it to anyone who would like to do something less tourist-y. A special shout-out to Peter who was a very knowledgeable local guide that planned out our itinerary meticulously and shared key recommendations at every attraction. he took good care of the group and made the effort to keep us updated at various points of the journey. it was a pleasure to join his tour and would definitely recommend his tour to others in future!

Jason, our tour guide, is fantastic. He took care of us and always ensuring our well being. He’s also very patient and explain the location we are at with great details.

Visiting the Lanyang Museum gave me a deeper understanding of Yilan's natural environment and cultural history. The museum's exterior is famous for its sloping triangular design, inspired by Yilan's common "single-sided mountain" terrain. The building itself is like a work of art, blending seamlessly with the surrounding wetland landscape, leaving a deep impression upon arrival. The museum's exhibits are rich and diverse, offering detailed introductions to everything from Yilan's geological evolution and climatic characteristics to the lifestyles of its early inhabitants. For example, through models and multimedia displays, visitors can learn about the formation process of the Lanyang Plain and how the local people developed unique lifestyles in response to the northeast monsoon and rainy climate. These exhibits are not only informative but also highly interactive, making the visit engaging. I particularly enjoyed the sections that showcase traditional industries and culture, such as fishing, agriculture, and local beliefs. These exhibits convey Yilan's profound human touch and cultural heritage. Through real object displays and recreated scenarios, it felt as if I could see the daily lives of past residents, making history more than just words in a book. Overall, the Lanyang Museum is not just a place to gain knowledge; it's also a space where one can slow down and appreciate the beauty of architecture and nature. This visit allowed me to learn more about Yilan and to cherish Taiwan's diverse and rich local culture even more. If I have the chance, I will recommend this museum to friends and family, so they can experience this educational and aesthetically pleasing museum for themselves.

Att ta med barnen för att uppleva räkfiske för första gången var verkligen roligt! Vi hade knappt satt oss förrän vi fångade en, och den var jättestor, räkorna var väldigt livliga! Betet var torkade räkor, vilket var lite svårt att kroka. Räkorna var ganska lätta att fånga, vi hyrde två spön i 70 minuter och fångade 12 stycken var, barnen kände sig väldigt nöjda! Vissa räkor kan nypas, det fanns handskar att låna, och personal fanns tillgänglig för att hjälpa till med eventuella problem. Det fanns räkchips och drycker att köpa på plats, vilket ingick i Klook-biljetten. Det fanns också en räkfisketävling, där de första som fångade räkor under samma tid kunde hämta ett räkchips. Efter att ha fiskat och vägt räkorna kunde man ta med räkhinken till den självbetjänande grillen på andra sidan eller få dem tillagade av personalen, det var verkligen gott och roligt!
