Yilan County, Administrative county in northeastern Taiwan

Yilan County spans across the Lanyang Plain, bordered by mountains on three sides and the Pacific Ocean on the east, featuring numerous rivers and fertile agricultural lands.

Before the large-scale Han Chinese settlement in 1787, the region belonged to the indigenous Kavalan people, who established settlements along the rivers throughout the area.

The National Center for Traditional Arts in Yilan preserves Taiwanese performing arts through exhibitions, workshops, and regular performances of traditional theater and music.

The Hsuehshan Tunnel connects Yilan to Taipei, reducing travel time between the two regions to less than 50 minutes by car or regular bus service.

Guishan Island, located off the coast of Yilan, contains submarine hot springs where visitors can observe whales and dolphins in their natural marine environment.
