TaSweet Confectionery - Thanks to everyone, we ordered a bunch of cake rolls, which are very healing - The cake rolls that are said to sell out in 3 hours, we arrived before 12 to wait for the first batch, and were lucky to capture an empty scene. The view with the slightly red bald cypress outside the window is really beautiful. As soon as we entered, the seats were immediately filled. When we came down, we heard that the wait time was until 5:00... The crispy red tea roll is very special, the crispy crust goes well with the cream.

Every time I come to Taiwan, I will definitely plan to visit Luodong. This is my third time. Let’s start with Luodong Station. The retro style of the station is very unique. It feels like a station scene in a drama. It also has a bit of Japanese style. There aren’t many people waiting for the train in the station. If you like clocking in, you might want to take this opportunity to slow down, take a few more photos at the station, and continue your journey! #travel #residentwriter #Taiwan #Yilan #Taiwanattractions #Taiwantour #taiwantrip #taiwanese

Located in Luodong Zhongshan Park, close to Luodong Night Market, Luodong Zhongfude Temple has a history of more than 200 years. This land god temple has been protecting this land. After being rebuilt 50 years ago, it was moved to Luodong Zhongshan Park, and then became the patron saint of the park and Luodong Night Market business district. The temple building is not large but solemn. The golden unicorns on the left and right sides are very dazzling. It is a very distinctive land god temple. #Luodong #Temple #Yilan #Tudigong Temple

#Valentine's Day Today I ordered four kinds of pots: Original vegetable soup base, premium boneless beef short ribs, fish paste Seafood kelp soup base, premium pork Vitality Jinyan soup base, selected double-mixed sea and land pot, clams, and soy sauce Original vegetable soup, Iberian pork, oysters Fresh ingredients, highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#NewYearGoodDestinations The environment is good, the air conditioning temperature is moderate, and you can sit for a long time, which is great. The price is not expensive. Although the burger is a bit deceptive in the photo, I am still happy to be deceived.

#NewYearGoodDestinations Come and eat while there is a stamp collection event, and get a small pizza for free when you spend over 100 yuan Ordered a serving of spicy chicken wings and a bottle of Coke (1250cc) Total: 139 yuan Free small pizza (original price 249 yuan) The ingredients are substantial, the crust is delicious, and there is a lot of cheese. It won’t be because of less material for activities. Much more delicious than DaXLe.

I greatly appreciate the EQ and adaptability of the store staff. The service industry is really hard work! I feel that working in the service industry is very hard. There are already many things to do at the bar at the same time, and my mind is often fully loaded. I just hope that everyone can sympathize with each other and understand the hard work of the shop assistants.

It was lunch time at noon and the store seemed a little busy. The store is bright and spacious. The counter staff and the food delivery staff are very positive and polite. The counter lady greets customers warmly. When she hears that the food is to be taken away, she is afraid that she will delay the customer's bus. After the meal is ready, the kitchen staff will personally deliver it to the table instead of shouting. I really like the young people in this store! I saw that the waiters were very diligent in wiping the tables, taking care of every table, and were very polite when serving food. Sincerely give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍👍👍👍👍

Luodong Railway Station @ 2nd floor plaza, a hard-to-find spot. Display seats and bento sales. Just when I was thinking about whether to buy a lunch, I heard a passerby asking, but it turned out to be sold out~ It's only 12:30 and they're already sold out. It's really delicious. I'll have to come earlier to buy it next time. Welcome to Luodong (Yilan County)~ If you want to enjoy the train bento, you have to arrive early! This is how you can buy it! Thanks~

After searching for a long time, I finally found a fast food restaurant with a great CP. The food is cheap, the ingredients are delicious and there is no discount. You can also eat all you can for free. It is a restaurant worth recommending. #Hot summer destination

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Visiting the Forest Products Museum gave me a new understanding of Taiwan’s forestry culture. This is not just a museum, but also an interactive and inspiring learning space. The exhibitions in the museum showcased rich forest resources and historical data, allowing me to understand the development of Taiwan’s forestry industry. I particularly like to participate in woodworking DIY activities. The process of making small items by hand allows me to feel the warmth and texture of wood, and appreciate the hard work of the craftsmen. The trail outside the museum provides an excellent opportunity for hiking. The natural scenery along the way is breathtaking and refreshing.

The puff pastry is filled with seasoned savory minced meat and then wrapped with a large piece of stinky tofu. As a Taiwanese, this is my first time eating this stinky tofu dish and I find it very novel! The milky outer layer and the salty and smelly inner layer are quite interesting. The steamed stinky tofu is very big and delicious~ Caiji Stinky Tofu 📍Address: No. 110, Gongzheng Road, Luodong Township, Yilan County 265 🕰️Opening hours: 14:00-22:00 💰Average consumption per person: 40-70 yuan #Yilan #Luodong #Luodong Food

🕰️Business hours: noon and evening 💰Average consumption per person: 500-1500 💞Recommended reasons: First of all, it’s really great that you don’t have to bake it yourself! You can also see the boss's persistence in the quality of meat, although the unit price is relatively high! The various parts of meat were explained in detail. Most importantly, it was the first time I ate yakiniku without smelling like yakiniku.

#travelinginchina #luodongnightmarket #luodong Luodong Night Market isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a full-on sensory adventure. Located at Xingdong Road and Minquan Road, this bustling market is a maze of sizzling woks, flashing lights, and the kind of organized chaos that makes Taiwanese night markets unforgettable. 🍜 What to Eat Start with Yilan’s famous scallion pancakes (蔥油餅)—flaky, golden, and packed with fresh local green onions. Then, warm up with Angelica mutton soup (當歸羊肉湯), a fragrant herbal broth that feels like comfort in a bowl. If you’re feeling bold, try deep-fried taro balls or peanut ice cream rolls for a sweet twist. 🎡 Beyond the Food This market isn’t just about eating—expect claw machines, street performers, and a constant buzz of excitement. Scooters weave through impossibly small gaps, vendors shout out deals, and the smell of grilled skewers fills the air. ✨ Why You’ll Love It Luodong Night Market is Taiwanese nightlife at its best—chaotic, delicious, and full of life. Arrive hungry, bring cash, and don’t be afraid to get lost in the flavors. 📍Address:265, Taiwan, Yilan County, Luodong Township, Xingdong Rd, 與民權路口

#favouriteitinerary Luodong Zhen A Temple (羅東震安宮) is a prominent Mazu temple located in Luodong Township, Yilan County, Taiwan. Established in 1837 during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, it holds the distinction of being the oldest Mazu temple in the Luodong area.  Historical Background In the Jiaqing period, settlers from Zhangzhou expanded into the Luodong region, encompassing areas now known as Yihe, Luodong, and Juren. According to temple records, a traveling monk brought a Mazu statue from the Meizhou ancestral temple to Luodong. With local support, the temple was constructed in 1837, serving as a spiritual center for early settlers.  Architectural Features The temple’s structure comprises three main sections: • Front Hall (三川殿): Featuring intricate carvings by artisan Huang Wangtu, this section sets the tone for the temple’s artistic ambiance. • Main Hall (正殿): Dedicated to Mazu, the central deity, this hall is the focal point of worship and ceremonies. • Rear Hall (後殿): This two-story structure houses a shrine to Guanyin (the Goddess of Mercy) on the upper level. Notably, the rear hall’s waterwheel wall is adorned with eight clay sculptures of Western figures dressed in suits, reflecting a blend of cultural influences. Cultural Significance and Activities The temple plays a vital role in the spiritual life of residents across four townships: Luodong, Wujie, Dongshan, and Sanxing. Each year, on the 23rd day of the third lunar month, devotees celebrate Mazu’s birthday with grand processions through these areas, reflecting deep-rooted traditions and community bonds. Overall, Luodong Zhen A Temple stands as a testament to the enduring cultural heritage and religious practices of the Yilan region, attracting both devotees and visitors interested in Taiwan’s rich history.

#2月好去地方2025 The angelica duck recommended on the Internet has a high cost performance. I was shocked when I ate it. The duck meat is tender and the portion is large. The sauce is very fragrant. The minced duck rice also has a lot of meat. The duck meat and braised meat in the duck rice taste really good. I wanted to order another bowl after eating it. The angelica soup is very strong and fragrant. It feels like it replenishes all the internal organs of the body. People with heavy tastes will like this restaurant very much. It is a store that I must visit next time I go to Yilan. Address: No. 33, Zhongzheng South Road, Luodong Township, Yilan County, Taiwan #TaiwanTravel #Yilan
