[2025 Yilan Attraction] Travel Guide for Jimmy Park (Updated Apr)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Jimmy Liao is one of the few Taiwanese art writers I like. His works have their own unique style, without any exaggeration or eccentricity. The expressions of his characters are like a stream of warm water flowing through my heart. The content of the article is like a sketch that allows people to savor its uniqueness and cleanse your soul and mine. When you walk out of Yilan Station, there is a creation a few meters above the station, and opposite you can see the "Starlight Train" in the starry sky picture book. There are his figure works on the left and right sides and in front of the station, which are combined with the abandoned space of the old dormitory of the Railway Bureau, and the two are integrated into one without any sense of disobedience. The park is not large and is often crowded with tourists during holidays. It's just that sometimes some people without public morals climb and sit on the works and get angry. If there was a larger hinterland where his works were concentrated and exhibited for a long time, Jimmy Liao Park would also be famous like Spain's Park Guell, and he would have the ability to do so.

Yilan Jimmy Theme Plaza, also known as Jimmy Park, is located in Yilan City, Taiwan, and commemorates the works of the famous illustrator Jimmy. This theme plaza is a public art space centered around Jimmy's creations, showcasing many characters and scenes from his picture books. At the Jimmy Theme Plaza, you can see vibrant Jimmy illustration walls, 3D sculptures, and installation art. Every corner is filled with Jimmy's unique creativity, making it a must-visit for fans of his work.

Our day tour stopped over Yi Lan Train Station and we love the vibe here. The traffic light crossing to Yi Lan Jimmy Park has animation and music 🎶 🎼 accompanying you when you cross the street. Yi Lan Jimmy Park has different sculptures which you can take photos with. Interesting place to visit and fun to take photos with friends. There are many eating places around this area too. #yilan

As soon as you exit Yilan Railway Station, you can reach the famous Jimmy Square in just five minutes' walk. Every design is very suitable for taking photos, but there is no shelter, so you must take good sun protection.

"Jimmy Park/Jimmy Theme Plaza" is located on the south side of Yilan Railway Station. It was originally an abandoned railway bureau dormitory. Later, in order to preserve the historical building, it was planned into the first "Jimmy Theme Plaza" in Taiwan, leading everyone into Jimmy's picture book world! All the characters in the square are from Jimmy's picture books, including "Turn Left, Turn Right", "Starry Sky" and "Subway", etc. Near Jimmy Park, there is also the "Diudiudang Forest" where the starry sky train is hung high in the iron tree forest. Together with the "Happiness Transfer Station" which is about a 5-minute walk from Yilan Railway Station, it forms the iron triangle tourist attraction for Jimmy fans!

The "Jimmy Theme Square" is located in the south side of Yilan Railway Station. It was originally an old dormitory area of ​​the abandoned railway bureau, and then it successfully re-planned, rebuilt and transformed into an art park later. In addition to retaining the original historical buildings and the shade of old trees, the "memory landscape" is the main theme of this park. The installation art completed by the scenes taken from the well-known picture book writer "Jimmy", including "Go Left‧Right", "Starry Sky" …, which are all the famous scenes in the picture books. Here is not only a good place for taking pictures, it is also a good place for you to stop and taste the beautiful scenery. When you visit Yilan, I am sure that you may wish to walk around and take a look here. Also, Luodong Night Market has become a must-see night market in Yilan! The most common place to go at night. When you don’t know what to eat in Yilan at night, you must run to Luodong Night Market for food. #浪漫之旅 #海島假期 #情侶出遊 #朋友旅行 #大自然奇觀 #travel #travelphotography #photography #nature #travelgram #wanderlust #travelblogger #trip #adventure #vacation #travelling #explore #picoftheday #travelguide #beautiful #traveller #travelblog #hktravel #blogger #travelblogger #taiwan #yilan

Yilan's station is not big, the decoration style is mainly based on a few meters of comics, and the Jimmy Paradise not far away is very harmonious.

Next to the Yilan Train Station, there is a Jimi illustration theme park, which is very suitable for photography. 🌟 Highlights: Just a few more steps and you can see a dreamy and whimsical 'Elephant Slide' and 'Giraffe Lookout'!
