2. Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 165 reviews
Taipingshan area is a broad region that includes Tuchang, Hatonozawa, Jhongjian, Taipingshan, Maosing and Cueifong Lake. It is also regarded as one of Taiwan’s three major forestlands in addition to Alishan and Basianshan. The old lumber transportation railroad and lumber collecting machines have been left as relics of the past lumbering business. The Bong Bong train, hot spring, alpine lake, giant forest and Taiwan beech trees (Fagus, Fagus hayatae) reflect more than one hundred years of historical trails of the Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area.

We booked a taxi from Taipei to Taipingshan (6000TWD/5people/10hrs). It was a long ride. From Taipei to Taipingshan Entrance was 2.5hrs. I had us went straight to Cueifong Lake which is another 1hr ride from the entrance. We spent 1hr in Cueifong Circular Trail and had lunch at Cueifong Villa, meal costs 120TWD. Then we went to Taipingshan Village, spent 1hr taking the trail to Zhenan Temple surrounded by Japanese maple trees. We started going back to Taipei around 3PM and arrived at 6:30PM. The temperature is comfortable at 20C but it rained a lot and heavily. A day trip is not enough to explore all trails but enough to get a glimpse of the mossy forest trails and a hint of autumn feels.
3. Wufengchi Waterfall

4.5 based on 355 reviews
This is a wonderful waterfall not to be missed. Realised only locals go there and not tourist by coach as one needs to walk around 20 minutes at least to reach from the parking area. It is definitely a worth while fall to visit in Yilan.
Reviewed By JamesM49 - Taichung, Taiwan
There is some discrepancy as there are actually 5 waterfalls once you leave the parking lot, but they don't count the first one under the bridge, and the second appears to be seasonal when the rains come. The official 1st is viewed from the bridge and the official 2nd is viewed after climbing up some stairs (the Chinese inscribed stone calls it the 2nd). The stairs to the 3rd were under repair, but you can see it from the portico of the Sanctuary if you keep to the left when you go up the stairs. Definitely combine both sites- waterfall and sanctuary.

The Qingshui geothermal is located in the Qingshui Valley on the south side of Qingshui Village in Datong township. The geothermal spring source emerges from the ground. It is an alkaline spring. The temperature of the spring water is as high as 95 degrees celsius. The geothermal heat is located in the intersection of the plain and the mountain. The green hills in the distance and the white smoke from the hot spring is formed a beautiful picture. Many plants are planted in the park. In addition to recreation, it is also a good place to get close to nature. In 1981, it was the first geothermal power plant in Taiwan. Now it is a tourist attraction for tourists to soak feet and use geothermal spring water. You can see many tourists boil the corn in the park. There are total of 250 parking spaces in two parking spaces. It makes easy for people to drive. You should visit the park in winter. 走進位於大同鄉清水村南側的清水溪谷中的清水地熱公園，可以看到很多遊客正在泡腳或煮玉米，這兒在1981年是台灣第一座地熱發電廠，地熱泉源由地下冒出，泉水溫度高達攝氏95度C，泉質屬鹼性泉，遠處的青山加上地熱噴出裊裊白煙，讓這裡形成了一幅美麗的風情畫。 公園內種植許多植物，也是遊客們可以親近自然的地方，而兩處共250個車位的停車場，讓遊客開車過來十分方便，讓清水地熱公園成為冬天宜蘭必去的景點之一喔！

Studying at Fo Guang University right above the Linmei Shipan Trail, this is like my backyard, when I need some fresh air and water. This trail is built beside a golf course, so it is easy to go here if you take Green 11, and it is a relatively easy trail to walk. If not crowded, it takes around 45min to walk around this trail. Come enjoy Yilan’s fresh air and water!?!

This was a wild experience for a few Americans on vacation. After educational visits to Tokyo and Seoul, it was time to let loose and have fun surfing! Not even the Uber driver could find our Air BnB at first so that made it even more intriguing! The waves and beach were great, and the fish was being caught fresh every day., we rented bikes and checked it all out ., ham kebabs and surf boards - whoo hoo!

It’s inside the TaiPing mountain area, very beautiful and nostalgia trail. Went here on a rainy and foggy day, but still very nice for a light trekking. The access to here is not so convenient, join some bus tour from Taipei or YiLan could be a easier option.
