Jiaoxi Township
Built around geothermal hot springs, Jiaoxi Township grew into Yilan County’s best-known spa town. It occupies the northern edge of the Lanyang Plain, where the lowlands meet the mountain foothills of northeastern Taiwan. Jiaoxi’s clear, bicarbonate-rich spring water has fostered a bathing culture expressed in hotels, public pools and the central Tangweigou Hot Spring Park. Wufengqi Waterfall lies in the township’s wooded uplands, while the town centre has a compact, everyday character of shops, restaurants and transport links. Jiaoxi forms part of Yilan County, a region shaped by the broad Lanyang River basin and its close relationship with the surrounding mountains.

Shaped by the Lanyang River system and its alluvial plain, Yilan County developed into one of northeastern Taiwan’s distinctive agricultural and coastal regions. The Lanyang Plain opens towards the Pacific, while much of the county rises into densely forested mountain country. Rice cultivation remains integral to local life, and the National Center for Traditional Arts in Wujie presents Taiwanese crafts, music and performance. Offshore, Guishan Island is a familiar landmark, while Jiaoxi is known for its hot springs. This meeting of plain, mountains and sea gives Yilan a markedly different character from Taiwan’s west-coast cities. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Yilan County.

Taiwan's terrain ranges from fertile plains along the western coast to steep mountains in the interior, concentrating much of its population on the lowlands. The Central Mountain Range runs through the island, while the Pacific meets a more rugged eastern shoreline and the Taiwan Strait lies to the west. Taipei combines contemporary city life with major cultural institutions: the National Palace Museum preserves an extensive collection of Chinese imperial art. Across Taiwan, night markets are central to everyday eating, serving regional snacks alongside familiar staples. Tea cultivation, especially in upland areas, remains an enduring part of the island's food culture. Explore nearby locations that provide complementary perspectives on Taiwan.
