Yilan Plain, Triangular alluvial plain in northeastern Taiwan
The Yilan Plain spans across the northeastern region of Taiwan, formed by sediments from the Lanyang River creating a broad, equilateral triangular shape.
Prior to Han Chinese settlement in 1787, the Kavalan indigenous people inhabited this fertile region, which later became part of Taihoku Prefecture during Japanese rule.
Rice cultivation remains central to local identity, with extensive paddies spread throughout the plain, particularly near the town of Jiaoxi.
The construction of Xueshan Tunnel in 2006 reduced travel time from Taipei to approximately one hour, making the plain more accessible for visitors.
The plain contains three main urban centers - Jiaoxi with its hot springs, Yilan City as administrative capital, and Luodong with its night market.
