Yilan County

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.
