Toucheng Old Street is the oldest street in Yilan, dating back to the Qing Dynasty. It was once the economic center of Yilan, but it's importance was later replaced. Now it sits as a monument to the past, with few changes as compared to its former glory. It's definitely worth a stop on your trip through Yilan. Before Chinese settlers came, the area around Toucheng was inhabited by the Ketagalan Aboriginal tribe, whose language is now extinct.

The name Toucheng literally means "first town" in Chinese, because it was the first settlement in Yilan, settled in the late 1700s. With the nearby Wushih and Touwei Harbors around the same time, it became the economic focal point of Yilan. However in the late 1800s and early 1900s Wushih Harbor and Touwei Harbor silted in, reducing their function.

With the advent of the Japanese built Yilan railway line in the mid-1900's, as well as constant floods and continually silting of the harbors, Toucheng Old Street quickly lost its importance economically and fell into decay.

The old street has two temples, the major one being Toucheng Qingyuan Temple which dates back to 1796.

The name Toucheng literally means "first town" in Chinese, because it was the first settlement in Yilan, settled in the late 1700s. With the nearby Wushih and Touwei Harbors around the same time, it became the economic focal point of Yilan.

With the advent of the Japanese built Yilan railway line in the mid-1900's, as well as constant floods and continually silting of the harbors, Toucheng quickly lost its importance economically and fell into decay.

After residents of Turtle Island were relocated to Daxi in Toucheng, Daxi Harbor was expanded and has become one of the largest fishing harbors in the area.

Due to its close proximity to Taipei, Toucheng has become a major tourist area and may be the most popular surfing location in Taiwan.

The eye-catching feature of this site is the 496- step central stairway guarded by two rows of Japanese Maple. Under the sunshine, the maple leaves are painted with bright red resembling a beautiful picture. It is highly recommended that visitors can walk along this stairway to enjoy the experience of walking through a red-leaf tree tunnel. At the end of this stairway, you can immediately walk into the virgin Taiwan Cypress forest to enjoy the aroma of phytoncide.

You don’t have to wait until autumn to watch the Japanese Maple’s leaves turn red here. And in early spring, new sprout will grow into deep purple leaf which will stand till Oct. In winter, the central stairway will become a white forest of ice crystals which is breathtakingly beautiful.

Meihua Lake Scenic Area is located in the middle of Dongshan Township, covering an area of about 283 hectares. The lake in the scenic area is named "Plum Blossom Lake" because its appearance is similar to a five-petal plum blossom. Meihua Lake not only has a rich lake ecology, but also has functions such as water conservation and farmland irrigation. It is also a beautiful natural reservoir. Due to its diverse natural environment, Meihua Lake Scenic Area is home to many animals and plants, such as the common great crested vultures, white-headed eagles, Taiwanese macaques, squirrels, etc. The surrounding area is lined with delicacies and snacks, as well as a Lake Tour, The power boat tour on the lake has turned Meihua Lake into a popular attraction for family outings.

Near Hu Shang Elementary School, the damp is a natural ecology habitat filled with fish, waterfowls, and batrachians. It is also a big pond gushing ground water and surrounded with mountains three sides. A man-made island is lying on the lake and the zigzag bridge leads people to the pavilion on the island. There is a footpath surrounding the lake. The green mountain range and the red arched bridge produce an inverted image on the lake and forms a beautiful view. People may go cycling , fishing and drink coffee around the lake. If you are strong enough to continue the trip, you may hike approximately one-kilometer trail around a mountain to experience and absorb the phytoncidere along the way; if you are tired on the halfway, you may also rest on the platform to enjoy the amazing view.

It is also a special beach in Taiwan because you have a constant view of another island in the distance, Turtle Island. It is definitely a great beach worth visiting.

The beach has constant waves and many surf shops and showers nearby.

As to Jancing Historic Trail, it was built on part of the old「Forest Railway- Jancing Line」 and the total length is 0.9 km.

A note on the naming choice. Generally speaking I try to use the Hanyu Pinyin system when writing trail names because it makes sense to have some order rather than none, but in this case, the majority of the official materials about the trail produced by Taipingshan National Park refers to it as Jancing Historic Trail, so that’s what I’ll stick with. Having said that, elsewhere (including on signs in the park itself) I have seen it called Jiancing Old Trail, Jianqing Huaigu Trail, and every possible permutation, so pick whichever name you like and use that.
