Family Travel in Yilan
Traveling with kids? Yilan County offers a plethora of family activities.
FANG YUE TEA GARDEN offers lessons in traditional tea-cake
preparation. Proprietress Hong Hsou Ing promises that all her
charges will learn the ancient art and leave with a box filled with 15
handmade cakes presentable enough for gifting (or eating on the
train).
SAN FU LEISURE FARM offers daily tours through its extensive
jungle paths on which children and adults alike can get up close and
personal with the myriad butterflies, spiders, and frogs that call the
area home. Stick around long enough and you’ll catch a performance
by the farm’s trained (and talented) parrots.
Located in the Jhentoushan Agricultural Leisure Area, the AGRIOZ
MUSEUM OF CANDIED FRUITS offers educational tours, complete
with courses in DIY jam and candied fruit making.
Though hot-spring resorts normally aren’t thought of as being kid
friendly, Jiaoxi’s ART SPA HOTEL is definitely an exception. In
addition to the usual hot-spring massage pools, the spa features a
huge nautical jungle gym and a three-story-high hot-spring-fed
waterslide, all open to guests and non-guests alike.
