2025 Yunlin Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 I didn’t expect that there is a secret place of bald cypress in the small town of Huwei in Yunlin County! Located near the Huwei Sugar Factory, beside the riverbank road on the east side of the Huwei Iron Bridge, there is a "Qingpu Bald Cypress Secret Realm", which is actually the private garden of former Yunlin County Magistrate Chang Rongwei. Although the bald cypress park is not large, the pond, stone steps, and small hills make for an exotic look in photos. The bald cypress and the sky are reflected in the water, with alternating yellow, green, and red colors, creating a beauty like that of a Nordic country. Although the Qingpu Bald Cypress Secret Realm is private land, it is open to the public for free, which is quite kind. However, it is probably more convenient to get there by car. It is located on the river embankment road on the east side of the old Huwei Iron Bridge. #Tigertail #Baldcypress

Yu-Sui-Kaku (also known as Yu Shui Pavilion) was built in 1939 as a high-end guesthouse building for receiving official and military guests. It was declared a historic site by the Yunlin County Cultural Affairs Bureau in 2010 and restored in 2015. However, due to local financial constraints and a lack of professional manpower, it remained idle for more than a year. In the spring of 2017, it was leased and operated by the Taiwan Arts Development Association. I believe you can feel how beautiful it is inside by looking at the photos 💜 It’s actually quite small and you can spend a long time wandering around inside because every corner is beautiful! Full of the fragrance and elegance of history😍These photos were taken during previous interviews. Welcome everyone to spend a wonderful afternoon learning about history✨️The staff in the pavilion are also very friendly.

#September2024 Hushan Temple was built in the third year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty. It is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. The temple is solemn and elegant. It was rebuilt in 1959. The new temple is a two-story palace-style building. There is a 15-meter-high Maitreya Buddha in the temple, which has become an important local landmark. For this reason, Hushan Temple is the largest Buddhist holy place in central Taiwan. It is comparable to the Baguashan Buddha in Changhua in the north and the Fo Guang Shan in Kaohsiung in the south. It is an ancient temple with a long history...

Yunlin｜Sötinn "A café that tells stories through space." The first time I came to Huwei, I was attracted by this vibrant building. It was hard to imagine that it was once an abandoned old house. Coffee, cocktails and desserts are available on the first and second floors, and the terrace on the third floor is a small botanical garden where events are occasionally held. Although it was raining heavily that day, the green and vibrant atmosphere here was still intoxicating. / Dessert $80～$160 Bartending $350 Non-alcoholic drinks $140 #nihaoyunlin #sötinndropsuo #Yunlinhuwei #Huwei #Huweicafe #Yunlincafe #Yunlinfood #Huweifood #Huweibar

#ThemePark #100TravelWays Yunlin's most famous theme park, #JianhushanWorld, is a complex theme park with a long history. It combines land and water recreational facilities, hotels and restaurants, museums and gardens, etc. It covers a large area. You can see the huge Ferris wheel when driving on the highway. It is a subsidiary of the Nice Group. Schools in central and southern Taiwan often come to Janfusun for graduation trips or field trips, and it is especially crowded during the summer vacation. In addition to the Ferris wheel that is suitable for all ages, the most amazing amusement facility in Janfusun is probably the G5, which dives straight down like a fault, which is quite exciting and fun! The water park in summer is a favorite of adults and children. There are also indoor exhibition halls or theaters such as Konglong Pavilion, which are quite diverse and interesting. The #JianfusunHotel in the park is also a well-known star hotel in the local area. It has cooperated with Japan's Prince Group and is quite grand. However, it is quite historical, and just like the theme park, it is very old. Even so, the overall maintenance is still good, and there are park buses available. #YunlinStore #YunlinAttractions

Address: Beigang Tourist Bridge, Liujiao Township, Chiayi County Features: The quaint Beigang Old Street. Towards Beigang Old Street parking lot, there is a red iron bridge above! I don't know if it's due to the influence of Yunlin Xiluo Bridge or if it has some special purpose. The iron bridges connecting the old towns and villages in Yunlin are all red! At the other end of the sightseeing bridge is a small community with several little-known photo spots. If you walk a little further out, you will see many shops selling cakes on the street! There is a connecting passage in the parking lot that leads to the bridge, and the scenery on the bridge is spectacular! The bridge leads to Beigang Old Street! If you want to buy freshly squeezed pure sesame oil on the left side of the lower bridge, you can refer to the sesame oil factory next to it! The entire production process can be seen! You can smell the strong aroma of sesame oil when you pass by! #Beigang #Sightseeing Bridge #100 Ways to Travel

I used to think that Xiluo was a place that produced rice and fermented soy beans. I had never been to Xiluo seriously. This was my first time to actually visit the alleys of Xiluo. It is really a very simple and unsophisticated town. There are mostly low houses, and there are no air conditioners. The roads are quite wide. It makes people feel leisurely and just walk around. There are many shops selling soy sauce and mochi on the street. #乡的自然

#WinHongKongTicket I want to go to Hong Kong to see the architecture Huwei has a very historic theater space, which has a well-preserved environment and theater seats. It is a landmark of local cultural architecture. You can enter from the small door on the left. Be careful and beware of the collapse of the wooden planks above. The wooden pallets on the upper level are in tatters and there are many mosquitoes. It is not recommended to wear short-sleeved clothes to visit. #Yunlin #Ruins #Theater

#LocalTourism#Yunlin Address: No. 100, Xinxing, Wulin, Gukeng Township, Yunlin County 646 On the way back from the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, I wanted to take a break, use the toilet, and replenish my equipment, so I decided to stop at the Gukeng rest area for a while. While my family was resting, I took a walk in the service area. The toilet is connected to the shopping mall, and there are small farmer's stalls around it, selling local specialties. The service area also provides tea for everyone to enjoy. Unexpectedly, the shopping mall seems to have just been renovated and is brand new. In addition to the beautiful and green scenery, the food court provides a variety of meals and there are many seats for everyone to stay and eat. The convenience store staff are busy with goods and checkout to shorten the checkout queue. Different from other rest areas on national highways, it has a flower shop, hipster furnishings, and special decorations. Piano music is played in the center of the square. The elegant sound of piano playing surrounds the audience, and people stop to appreciate it from time to time. Highway rest stops are also gradually transforming. They are no longer just places to take a short break, eat, or use the toilet. They can also become tourist spots where people go specifically for dates. After some research, I found out that the Gukeng Service Area had just completed renovations. I was so lucky👍

The location of the hotel is relatively quiet, and the exterior design is very artistic🏨The hotel room is large and comfortable. There are many transparent glass designs, so the space is larger. The basic facilities of the room are complete, and there is also a hot spring in the room🛁 In addition, hotel facilities include restaurants, bars, fitness rooms, outdoor swimming pools and hot springs ♨️hot springs✨ 📍 No. 28, Lane 100, Gongyuan Road, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 262 #台北hotel #relaxation #weekend travel #overseas travel #trip #hot spring #yilan

This time, in order to attend the Yunlin Materials and Agricultural Machinery Exhibition, we booked a comfortable Sanhao Hotel in Yunlin County through Trip. Holiday price is around 3000 The surrounding area is a residential area, very quiet, no traffic noise, high floors, no high-rise buildings nearby, I can still enjoy the bright moon from the room ~ But unfortunately, the glass is the kind that you can see in from the outside at night, and the bed curtains were installed crooked, so the gap gets bigger the lower the curtains are put down🥹 There are indeed privacy concerns when taking a bath, and I have informed the hotel staff of this, hoping that it can be improved as soon as possible (but when I told the hotel staff, they said that no one has responded to this issue yet 😅) I checked into room 1128 that day. If you come across this, please pay attention. The style of the 11th floor is completely different from that of the 8th floor. The 11th floor is carpeted, as is the room, but the 8th floor is all wood veneer. In the end, I chose the 11th floor room because it has more space. The hot water in the bathroom is very stable, the bathtub is very comfortable, the lotion smells very pleasant, the bed pillows are neither too soft nor too hard, just right, the quilt doesn't rustle, and it doesn't make a lot of noise when you turn over. It makes people sleep very comfortably:) There are also Porsche electric car charging stations in the parking lot~ But the Tesla part needs to be confirmed with the hotel 😃 Hotel: Sun Hao International Hotel Group Address: No. 35, Douliu 5th Road, Yunlin County #TaiwanLocalTour #Yunlin #LocalTour #GoodFamilyDestination

I remember it was 4700 for two people, one night, two meals, and tickets. I was too lazy to plan the trip, so I bought a package tour. As long as I took my luggage and took the high-speed train, I could go on vacation without having to think about anything! There was a special person to pick us up from the high-speed rail to the mountain, and we checked in immediately after arriving at the hotel. The hotel rooms here are huge! My room can actually sleep 5 people. My best friend and I each have a bed, and there is also an extra single bed. The whole hotel has a strong holiday style and a very relaxing feeling. There is a bar on the first floor and a restaurant on the second floor. I originally wanted to go to the bar for a drink, but I was too full after dinner to go. The Western food is an all-you-can-eat buffet with a wide variety, but I personally think the taste is just average and not something I particularly like (but it's delicious). The placemats are all Janfusun, which is very distinctive. There are many flowers in the hotel. Just walking from the hotel to the playground, you can enjoy a very large flower area. This place is 100% in the mountains, so going out for a walk is walking on the mountains, with some highs and some lows, which requires a bit of physical strength. The hotel's service is excellent, warm and of good quality. The toiletries provided are also complete. You can relax while on vacation here. If you are too lazy to plan your itinerary, you can consider it. Address: No. 67-8, Gukeng Township, Yunlin County #TaiwanLocalTours #GoodFamilyDestination #LocalTours

Maybe because I am not too old, I am not very interested in the nature of amusement facilities, but I love the Ferris wheel very much😂 The Ferris wheel at Janfusun is quite large, and you can sit on it to see the entire park, so we went to ride it. We recommend that you come during off-peak hours, when there is basically no one on weekdays. We asked the waiter if we could sit three circles, and the waiter said we could sit as long as we wanted, so we sat for five circles. So come during the off-peak hours and you can play whatever you want😂 But to be honest, I feel that there haven't been many new projects in Janfusun in recent years, and some new projects require a fee, so if you love to play amusement facilities, you may want to consider your wallet. Furthermore, the water park is closed in winter, and the machines are under routine maintenance, so half of the rides are not open. If you love rides, it is better to come in the summer. But apart from the rides, we had a lot of fun in the park. There were all kinds of cute art installations, and the scenery and flowers were all well maintained. The only downside was that the escalator was under maintenance on the day we went! ! So we were hiking the whole time🥲So on that trip, we actually went hiking at Janfusun. In terms of theme park prices, they are not expensive. They are old and not as rich as brand new theme parks, but it is still a good idea to have a one-hour reminiscence tour. Because we took the hotel package tour, we could enter the tour an unlimited number of times by getting the stamp on the day. Address: No. 67-8, Gukeng Township, Yunlin County Opening hours: 9:00-18:00 Tickets: 899 for adults and 699 for students (currently on sale at 599 for all tickets, mainly on the official website) #TaiwanLocalTours #LocalTours #GoodPlacesForFamily

#LocalTourism #GoodFamilyDestinations #familytravel #travel #Yunlin Target Touched Thousand Layer Cake Embassy: No. 118, Gongye Road, Douliu City, Yunlin County 640 On the way to the south, in order to avoid being too tired and sleepy from driving, I arranged a few rest spots along the way. In addition, new tourist factories have been established in recent years, so I also wanted to take a look around. The Target factory in Yunlin is free to enter. The part that can be visited is mainly the two floors of the main building. The first floor is where the mille-feuille is sold, and the second floor has the development history of the factory, an introduction to the production of mille-feuille, etc., and dolls for everyone to take photos and a group DIY area. Since it was a temporary trip, we only took a short rest before heading to the next destination. Note: Tickets are free, but there are many people on holidays, so DIY requires reservation and registration.

"Olala Handmade Bread" is a simple shop with no fancy decorations. There are many kinds of bread sold there, including European bread and Taiwanese bread, and sometimes they also sell French bread without oil or sugar. Natural handmade bread, insisting on not adding artificial flavors and colorants, the more you chew it, the more delicious it tastes, very natural flavor~ It’s a pity that it is not open every day, and it is only sold when there are group sales.

#coffee #simple meal #mountain view Holidays are a good time to come here to see the scenery Eat dinner, date, drink coffee Although the food is not special Just light meals, hot pot, set meals I think the selling point might be the scenery 😂

#Beigang Waterway Park #Leisure Travel Choice #Good Place for Leisure Shuidaotou Cultural Park The first water purification plant built in Yunlin Beigang during the Japanese colonial period, commonly known as Shuidaotou, has a history of more than 70 years. The water plant covers an area of ​​about 1.28 hectares and was the most complete water plant design at the time. Water from Beigang Creek is pumped into the factory, and after going through multiple processes including filtration, sedimentation, and disinfection, it is transported to the water tower through a pump and then distributed to each household. The Beigang Water Tower is divided into three layers. The upper layer is a cylindrical reinforced concrete water storage tower used for water storage; the middle and lower layers are decagonal structures. The originally empty space The park is full of green lotus flowers, making it a great place for an afternoon stroll!

Caoling Ecological Mountain Area is a pretty nice spot at the junction of Yunlin and Chiayi. It is quite relaxing and there are not many small black mosquitoes so I can relax and enjoy the scenery. It is a highly recommended place!

I have never stayed in a temple before…Beigang Wude Temple is the oldest temple of the God of Wealth in Taiwan…Every year when I go there, there are always huge crowds…I hope the gods will bless me with this year’s epidemic…So I waited for the opening day on a whim…It was really ridiculous that the sale was very fast…It was fully booked on the first day…Thanks to the God’s hand👍I was able to book it There is access control…There are also snacks in the lounge…Stay and get a free gift for everyone waiting in line😍The room is Japanese style…Spacious and bright…The bed is very comfortable to sleep in…It also has a bathtub…The amenities are very complete…Although it’s a pity that there is no breakfast…But during the Chinese New Year, I was able to book a light luxury family room for 4800…The room is very new and I really recommend it…The price of the family room during the Chinese New Year is new and the room facilities are new…There is also a bathtub for bathing, so the children are happy👍👍👍#familytravel
