National Center of Traditional Arts

National Center of Traditional Arts is the largest exhibition and performance site for traditional arts with rich collection of cultural antiques in Taiwan. The life of the past of Taiwan has been recreated here along with historic streets, traditional stages and houses with a brick kiln in the center. Visiting National Center of Traditional Arts can be like traveling on a time machine. Visitors will have a basic understanding of various types of traditional arts such as dough figurines, handmade soaps, glassmaking and glove puppetry, even if they don't have the slightest idea about any of these before.

Located in the Wujie Township of Yilan, National Center of Traditional Arts is a definite crowd magnet, where the traditional folk culture has been well preserved and represented with performing arts (puppetry, ballads, acrobatics and repertoires of traditional narrative) as well as handicrafts (weaving, fragmented ceramic art and metalworking). Guided tours are available for groups and can be reserved in advance. The outdoor opera performances (the so-called yetaixi) are held every day, and the whole crew will travel from the commercial street all the way to the main stage. It is a spectacle of traditional Taiwanese theatre that serves as a great cultural experience for international visitors. For some natural fun, you may either hop on the cruise or rent a bike to have a scenic tour around the adjacent Dongshan River. Accommodation is also available within the art center — a quaint hotel whose architecture and its surroundings are reminiscent of a traditional village homestay.

Linmei Shipan Trail

Yilan has an abundant natural landscape. In holidays, Five-peak Flag Waterfall is always crowded with tourists; Taipingshan is remote from urban area, but it is still hard to seek a room there during high season. Lots of Taipei-ers drive to hot spring at Jiaoxi and spend their weekends there. If you are searching for a place to escape from hustle and bustle of crowd and daily burden, Linmei Shipan Trail might suits your need. This place is rarely known by non-residents, but it could provide you a chance to get close to dear nature in 1.5 hours hiking. Although the trail would not cover any stunning and fascinating geological landscape, instead hikers could project themselves into the song of chirping birds and babbling brook. The wooden walkway in absent of lamppost and throng leads coming hikers away from modernized civilization and to the embrace of mother nature - trees grown in the wood, waterfalls pounding on the river, rocks resting along the stream. While walking on this trail, the stress living in a concrete jungle seems to be released as well.

Five-Peak Flag Waterfall

Made up of three waterfalls found close to the township of Jiaoxi, Five-Peak Flag Waterfall has long been a popular destination for those who want to escape the heat and humidity in the sweltering summer. The trail that leads to the waterfall will only take you one to two hours to finish and is ideal for all.

The very well-established trail is made of stone steps, so there is no need to worry that your shoes might get messy and muddy during the hike. However, when rain approaches, watch your footing as it can be quite slippery. In merely thirty minutes’ time, you will be reaching the first two waterfalls of the three, while the third one is still twenty minutes away. Your hard work climbing those steps will pay off when you finally hit the end of the trail — the stunning waterfall with an elevation difference of 42 meters between the highest and lowest points will take your breath away. It might seem challenging, but the route is well equipped with pavilions and benches for hikers to rest their weary feet whenever they feel like having a break on the way. It is highly recommended to complete the hike as it is truly rewarding.
