Upon exiting the Hsuehshan Tunnel, the expansive and verdant Lanyang Plain unfolds before you. Soon, you’ll encounter the distinctively cuesta-shaped Lanyang Museum.

These creative names spark visitors’ imaginations about the exhibits before they even arrive. Here, visitors gain a comprehensive understanding of Yilan’s natural ecology, geographical environment, and cultural traditions.

Before lunch, enjoy a hot spring foot bath at Tangweigou Hot Spring Park. The park features numerous outdoor foot bath pools, making it a perfect spot for friends and family to relax together. Additionally, the park’s pavilions and Chinese garden landscaping make it an ideal location for photography.

The Yilan Green Expo not only lays the groundwork for environmental protection and ecological education but also draws tourists for leisure and exploration. It has become a leading event for environmental education in Taiwan during spring.
