Yilan City

The landscape around Yilan City is a broad, rain-fed alluvial plain between Taiwan’s mountains and the Pacific coast, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The city sits on the Lanyang Plain, where the Lanyang River and smaller waterways have long supported intensive agriculture, particularly rice cultivation. Yilan is the administrative centre of Yilan County in northeastern Taiwan, with busy markets, temples and streets that connect the plain’s farming communities. The former Yilan Distillery, home to the Chia Chi Lan Wine Museum, recalls the local tradition of rice-based spirits.
