May 13, 2022 · Yuanshan (鳶山) meaning ‘kite mountain’ is listed at #019 of the Xiao Bai Yue (小百岳) and is located in Sanxia District (三峽區) in New Taipei City (新北市). Also known as the “Three Gorges Kite Mountain”, Yuanshan rests adjacent to the Dahan River.
It is located at the foot of the mountain in Hubei (湖北村) and Yixian Villages (逸仙村) of Yuanshan Township, and is considered one of the five major lakes of Lanyang Plain (蘭陽五大名湖). But a significant portion of the 10ha big territory is situated on private land, which makes the development of Dahu and its vicinity a big challenge.

Yilan can refer to Yilan County 宜蘭 that covers the larger northeastern region in Taiwan, but it can also refer to Yilan City 宜蘭市which is one of the main hubs in the northern half of Yilan County, which is divided by the Lanyang River. This guide focuses on the towns in that northern half.
By Bus
Yilan is about 50 minutes away from Taipei City by express coach or car thanks to Highway 5 and the Xueshan tunnel that cuts through the mountains. I usually take a comfortable coach from the Taipei Main Bus Station direct to Yilan City – a 1-way ticket costs 140 NTD (~S$6.30). 1.

By Train
I usually prefer taking trains over buses, but it actually takes longer and costs more to take a train from Taipei to Luodong. You can take a Ziqiang or Puyuma Express from Taipei Main Station to Yilan Train Station that will take around 60-75 mins and cost about 238 NTD (~S$11.25).
Transport in Yilan
Trains and buses connect Yilan to Taipei, Keelung up north or Hualien along the Eastern Coastline, and a highway cuts through the mountains in the central region and links to Taichung and Nantou. In Yilan itself, you can take public buses to get to major sights, but if you can I highly suggest you rent a car or a scooter to get around as it will make exploring that much easier. Because Yilan is less crowded, bus frequencies are not as high so you might end up waiting quite long for the bus if...
Yilan City is the transport hub of northern Yilan and the most convenient jump-off point for most things in Yilan.
There’s still a lot of Yilan left to see! Here’s a list of things that I have yet to check out – tell me whether I should go see them or not: 1. Toucheng north of Wai’ao: there looks like lots of scenic hiking spots around Dali and Beiguan. I’m just curious to see this quieter coastal stretch of Yilan 2. Wufengqi scenic area:I didn’t have time to v...
When it comes to the best seasons to travel in Taiwan, Spring (April-May) and Autumn (October-November) are usually a little cooler and less wet – check out this article I wrote for Skyscanner about the best times to visit Taiwan. For Yilan though, you have to be prepared for rain at anytime because of its coastal valley surroundings which makes th...
Yilan City is of course the most convenient option in this part of Yilan because of connectivity with the train and bus stations. Jiaoxi which is a little further north is also quite well connected as it is a popular hot spring spot and has many hot spring hotels. I’ve mostly stayed in Luodong to date, but recently found a cute hotel in Yilan City ...
