Yilan City

Yilan City extends across the Lanyang Plain with an altitude of 7.38 meters, surrounded by mountains and intersected by rivers flowing toward the northeast coast.

The region transformed from Kavalan indigenous territory to a Qing dynasty administrative center in 1810, establishing its position as the Lanyang Plain's central hub.

The Institute of Yilan County History maintains records and artifacts that document the progression from indigenous Kavalan settlements through Chinese and Japanese influences.

The Yilan Railway Station connects travelers to Taipei in under 50 minutes through the Hsuehshan Tunnel, while local buses serve 38 villages within the city.

The Former Yilan Prison, Memorial Hall of Founding of Yilan Administration, and Yilan Confucian Temple form a historical circuit in the city center.
