Located halfway up the hill in the Neipi Bay of Nanfang'ao, Yilan, Nan'an Elementary School is considered one of the most beautiful schools in Taiwan! This place is not just a school, but also a scenic secret spot where many people come specifically to admire the magnificent view of the mountains meeting the sea. On weekends, upon arrival, you can walk into the semi-open space of the campus podium, which features a group of columns reminiscent of ancient Athens, blending modern minimalist design with a classical atmosphere. The architecture of Nan'an Elementary School features a gray main body with vibrant blue accents, exuding a strong sense of modern simplicity. Nan'an Elementary School is not just a school, but a dreamy hidden gem surrounded by the beauty of nature. Highly recommended!

People say, "When you come to Yilan, you must know Yilan rice." So we came to the Yimite Rice Snacks Tourist Factory. The tour guide’s detailed, fluent and humorous explanation not only allowed us to understand the culture of Yilan rice, but also to know the benefits of each rice-related product. There is a small park in the factory. The animal installation art in the park is quite interesting and unique. It made me feel as if I had really come to an animal farm. It is warm, cute and unique. The main point is that the products here are delicious and easy to use. I highly recommend this tourist factory to tourists visiting Yilan. #Yimit Rice Dessert Tourism Factory

This is not Marseille in France, but the Marseilles area in Su'ao Township, Yilan, Taiwan. This is my first official visit. I found that there are many newly built houses and house sales. There are Marseille Elementary School and Wenhua Junior High School nearby, and the living facilities are pretty good. Yilan and Hualien are suitable for backpackers or tourists who like "light travel and leisurely life". In addition, because there are many ditches here, there are also many lure anglers who come here to cast two rods and swing two rods! This is the first time I stayed in this backpacker's inn. 3 rooms + 1 sofa + 1 table and 1 chair, the space is pretty good, but there is no TV; the bathroom is shared with room 202, and the 2 shower rooms are pretty large; there is a small lounge with a large refrigerator; there is a convenience store downstairs and a supermarket nearby, so it is quite convenient to eat and drink. Conclusion: 1. Using Trip Coins, the accommodation fee for 3 people is less than NT$600, OK! 2. This #SuaoTownMasaiDistrict "Just Go" light travel experience was pretty good! Next destination: Hualien!

🌊 The Glass Beach at Zeizai'ao is absolutely dreamy! This hidden gem in Yilan offers a breathtaking "sky mirror" effect✨ Think you need to travel all the way to Bolivia for a "sky mirror" experience? 📸 Think again! The Glass Beach at Zeizai'ao in Su'ao, Yilan, can also produce stunning reflections. This secluded spot is adorned with glistening glass stones, and during low tide, a thin layer of water forms on the rocks, reflecting the sky and clouds to create a magical scene💫 Arrive around 4 PM to catch the low tide and the golden hour as the sun sets. The entire beach looks like it's been filtered with soft lighting🌅. Standing on the rocks, gazing at the sea with mountains behind you and shimmering reflections in front of you, you'll feel all your worries washed away by the waves. It's the perfect place to unwind and recharge⚡. ⸻ 🧭 Travel & Photography Tips: 🚗 It's best to drive or ride a scooter. Use "Zeizai'ao Glass Beach" as your navigation destination. ⛰️ From the parking area, it's about a 10-15 minute walk along a gravel path, so wear comfortable sneakers. 📸 To capture the "sky mirror" effect, visit between 3:30 PM and 5:30 PM. The soft lighting and low tide during this time make for the clearest reflections! ⸻

#2月好地方2025 Yilan's secret scenic spot Dong'ao Pinkiaolin is known as the Love Lock Beach; because of the beautiful clear blue sea, it sometimes looks as dreamy as a Tiffany sapphire. Feniaolin Beach is surrounded by emerald green mountains, and there are strange rocks and stones on the sea. This picturesque scene is known as the Taiwan version of Halong Bay. Sitting on the beach or on the rocky shore and relaxing is the ultimate enjoyment in life. Strange rocks are the favorite photo spots for tourists. When the weather is clear, the blue sky and white clouds playing in the sea are matched with the rock walls like Halong Bay, which is really dreamy. It is a good place to empty yourself and heal yourself! We stopped by the farm to pretend to be a farmer and pick fruits for a day. While having fun, we couldn’t forget the Yilan food, so we went to Tiansongpi Station and ordered scallion pancakes and pork with pork... These are all delicious dishes that you must order when you come here!

#2月好去地方2025 A small restaurant on Nanfang'ao Seafood Street (Yugang Road), which has been open for 40 years, is famous for its "Daily Food" by Taotao, the God of Cookery. There are many choices, some are unpopular and some are authentic. Don't eat them, they taste fresh and sweet. Most of them are things that Hong Kong people have never seen before. In addition to the signature dishes of the bluefin tuna feast that is abundant after the Qingming Festival every year, there is also the Taiwanese people's favorite manbo fish viscera, such as dragon intestines (fish intestines), fish skin, etc. Almost the entire manbo fish can be eaten. Other recommendations include various sashimi, flying fish roe, sweet shrimp, seaweed (sea bird's nest), etc. Address: No. 76, Yugang Road, Su'ao Township, Yilan County, Taiwan #TaiwanTravel #Yilan

#2月好地方2025 The Su'ao Lion Park is located on the hillside of the Su'ao Bay. After the Japanese occupied Taiwan, they left behind several hills when they opened the Southern Jiangsu Highway during the Taisho and Showa periods. In 1985, the Su'ao Lions Club and the Kitakyushu East International Lions Club jointly funded the construction of a Lion Memorial Park. The Sunan Highway is a branch line from the starting point of the Suhua Highway. It was carved along the mountain walls of the Suao Bay. Several of the hills have rich soil and rocks, and now have become excellent scenic spots overlooking the Suao Bay. The park is equipped with pavilions and flower beds, which are very suitable for travelers to come here to enjoy the sea breeze and beautiful scenery. A majestic lion is built with reinforced concrete on the hill, overlooking Suao Harbor in a lying posture. After the opening of Yishan Road at Su'ao Port, Sunan Highway, which was originally the only route from Su'ao to Nanfang'ao, gradually became an idle road due to its tortuous road conditions. It has now become a good place for local residents to exercise and take a walk. The Lion Park, located halfway up the mountain, overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It is a great spot to enjoy the Su'ao Port, Nanfang'ao and Beifang'ao, and it is also a great place for many photography enthusiasts to take pictures. Address: No. 11, Sunan Highway, Su'ao Township, Yilan County, Taiwan #TaiwanTravel #Yilan

The photography exhibition on the second floor of Suao Service Area - "National Highway and Green Corridor - Seeing the National Highway Construction from Zeppelin" is divided into four areas, each presenting a different story and perspective. The first zone shows the arduous process of national highway construction, the second zone shows the magnificent scenery of the road through Zeppelin's lens, the third zone focuses on ecological sustainable development, and the fourth zone reviews the history and important moments of national highway construction. These pictures not only allow people to feel the history behind the construction of highways, but also that these roads carry the hard work of countless people. Especially those photos taken from an aerial perspective, which seem to let us see the past and future of Taiwan’s road. They are like the vein of Taiwan's development, silently telling of those overlooked efforts and achievements.

This is a beach with a large crowd, beautiful scenery, and a pleasant view. Facing the ocean, it offers a relaxing and immersive experience. On regular evenings, there are already quite a few visitors, and during holidays, it gets very crowded, making parking spaces hard to find. The influx of people attracted by the beach's beauty has led to the establishment of many dining spots. Activities like stacking stones on the beach, running, and sitting idly are great ways to enjoy your visit, making you feel refreshed and highly recommended. However, be sure to stay safe, as the sea, though beautiful, can be unforgiving. Address: Su'ao Township, Yilan County, Taiwan, China

Xiao'e Café in Suao There are not many people on weekdays, so you can choose the first row seat with sea view It is very pleasant to come here in the afternoon and sit until the evening to watch the sunset! ! The food is also delicious~

Su'ao in Yilan, a small town in northeastern Taiwan, seems like a paradise hidden in the busy world. Here you can find clear cold springs, unique seafood, and a fishing village full of historical charm. The journey to Suao is not only a relaxing journey for the body and mind, but also a deep reflection on oneself. The coolness of the cold spring and the calming of the soul Suao Cold Spring is the first stop of this trip. The moment I stepped into the cold spring pool, the coolness of the spring water instantly gripped my senses, like a deep cleansing that took away all the fatigue and stress of urban life. This cold touch is not biting, but like a pair of gentle hands, slowly soothing every corner of the soul. The process of soaking in the cold spring is like a conversation with yourself. The spring water is so clear that I can't help but think, whether I can face every corner of my heart calmly like the spring water? In this quietness, I was able to re-examine the rhythm of my life and find the long-lost tranquility. Nanfang'ao Fishing Port: Seeking the True Nature of Life After leaving Lengquan, I came to Nanfang'ao Fishing Port. The scene here forms a sharp contrast with the tranquility of Lengquan. The fishing port is full of life in the early morning. Fishermen are busy bringing fresh catches ashore, and the hawking sounds in the fish market are heard one after another. Everything here is so plain and simple, as if time has stopped here, with only the hard work of the fishermen and the generosity of the sea as companions. In the fishing port, I felt a primitive power - it was a love and persistence for life. Compared with bustling cities, people here live in the simplest way but have the richest inner world. This makes me reflect: While pursuing material life, have we forgotten the simplicity and purity of life itself? These fishermen always stay with the sea regardless of wind or rain. Their tenacity and calmness deeply moved me. Natural beauty: dialogue with the earth Suao's natural scenery is breathtaking. The boundless beach of Dong'ao Bay and the tranquil waters of Lipi Lake exude a pure beauty undisturbed by the outside world. Walking on the beach of Dong'ao Bay, the sea breeze caresses your face and the only sound of the waves is in your ears. Such a scene makes me feel a comfortable sense of being one with nature, and all my troubles and worries become insignificant at this moment. The tranquility of Lipi Lake made me feel at peace again. The lake is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the green mountains and clear waters around it, as if time has stopped here. I sat quietly by the lake, listening to the sounds of nature, which made my heart more peaceful. In this tranquility, I was able to look back on my past and ponder the path forward for the future, a level of in-depth reflection I had never experienced before. Experience and reflection: Finding yourself on the journey The trip to Suao is not just a sightseeing trip, but also a spiritual exploration and precipitation. The coolness of the cold springs taught me to face my inner self, the simplicity of Nanfang'ao made me re-understand the essence of life, and the magnificence of the natural scenery helped me regain my connection with nature. After the trip, I realized that we live in a fast-paced world and often ignore the simple beauty around us. Suao taught me that only by slowing down can I truly appreciate the true meaning of life. This journey brought me not only beautiful scenery and delicious food, but also spiritual growth and maturity. Whenever I recall this journey, the tranquility and strength from Suao still echoes in my heart, reminding me: in this noisy world, don’t forget to maintain inner peace and find your own clear spring and quiet lake. #Taiwan local tour #relax #walk on the beach #100 ways to travel

If you are bored with the capital city, you can go relax in the countryside, sit by the sea and chill. I recommend this place: Yilan City.

#Taiwan Local Tour Joey Blows the Wind Yilan's recently popular glass window cafe The first row of sea views faces the mountains and the sea, so beautiful When the weather is cooler It's really enjoyable to sit on the outdoor lazy bones and enjoy the sea view Unfortunately, the food is so ordinary that I don't want to say more. The price is also high. (Minor criticism of the landscape restaurant) But it's still okay to order a drink and watch the sea comfortably😊 No toilet provided If you need a toilet, you have to go to the public toilet in the parking lot opposite.

Immerse yourself in the therapeutic waters, allowing the soothing warmth to envelop you as you take in the coastal views.

Family trip. A wax art factory is a must when you come to Suao. You can spend a morning or an afternoon doing activities there. The key is that children will not feel bored. Because the factory has come up with many ideas for children to participate. Adults who are interested can also play together. But I am more suitable to take pictures of the activities from the side.

Su'ao Service Area is located in Su'ao Township, Yilan County, Taiwan. It is accessed via the Su'ao Interchange of the Jiang Wei Shui Expressway. It is the only national highway service area in Yilan County. After the Suhua Highway Modification Project of Provincial Highway 9 was fully opened to traffic on January 6, 2020, it became the only service area between the new and old Suhua Highways on National Highway 5. The appearance of the service area is an image of a large ship entering the port loaded with fish; must-eat delicacies, souvenirs, a children's play area, and a five-star parent-child toilet. We bought several pairs of colorful flip flops at our favorite store🩴.

The renovated Suao Cold Spring Park. There aren't many people on weekdays, but on holidays there's not even room to walk. I didn't take many photos because I was busy taking the kids to the cold springs.
