Yilan｜The gentle breeze and slow-moving boats of Dongshan River

Dongshan River in Yilan is not just a river; it embodies a unique "Yilan-style tranquility." Strolling along the riverbank, you’ll feel the breeze sweeping through the grass and skimming across the water. Here, there’s no bustling city noise, only the serene rhythm of life flowing gently. Hop on a small boat and take in the scenery from the water—fields, bridges, pedestrians, and the occasional passing egret. It’s like watching a documentary played in slow motion. Nearby attractions include Dongshan River Water Park and the National Center for Traditional Arts, perfect for family outings, picnics, or simply zoning out. It’s also an ideal spot for solo reflection. This isn’t a trendy check-in destination, but every visit leaves you thinking, "I should slow down a bit."
