Traffic situation in Yilan city

On the sea12km east of Toucheng, there is an island that looks like a turtle. Visitors from the south or the north to Yanglan Plain are always deeply attracted by it. This island, which once watched Karma Yang Lan's ancestors reclaim Yang Lan, is the spiritual and geographical indicator of Yang Lan people-Guishan Island.

Yilan people have been attached to Guishan Island for many years, and their feelings are extremely deep. Old people always tell tourists enthusiastically that this chinemys reevesii will "turn around". If you are in the south of Lanyangxi, you can see the south of Guishan Island, with your head facing left. When I came to Sanminkao, I saw the south of Kameyama Island, with my head facing right. When I came to Sanjiaojiao, I saw the north of Kameyama Island, with my head to the left and journey to the south, which really gave me the illusion of "Kameyama turning around".

Guishan Mountain is ever-changing and has been deeply integrated into the life of Yilan people for many years. There is a saying in Yilan: "Look at the mountains in June and Haikou in slow winter; If Kameyama wears a hat, heavy rain will come. "-when there are heavy clouds on the turtle's back, it indicates that the weather is about to turn bad. Guishan Island is really a meteorological station for Yilan people! In the eyes of Yilan people, Kameyama Island is like a living island. Chinemys reevesii, with its head facing southeast and its tail facing northwest, not only spits smoke and swings its tail, but also has "claws" on the left and right sides that can paddle. Therefore, the legends about his "life experience" are rich and colorful. As the waters around Guishan Island are rich in migratory fish, it is an excellent fishing ground with abundant fish production. So fishermen came to fish in the early years, and later it became a military control zone, so the saying "Taiwan Province has been saved, but Kameyama hasn't arrived yet" is widely circulated. It was not until the martial law was lifted that the tourism of Wuguishan Island was promoted one after another, and tourists had a chance to feast their eyes.

Guishan Island covers an area of only 2.7 square kilometers, with a length of 3.3 kilometers from east to west and a width of about 1.7 kilometers from north to south. It is mainly composed of two volcanic bodies, the glans and the shell, and the tail of the glans is a slender sandbar. Most of the rocks on the island belong to andesite, which was solidified by magma ejected by volcanoes decades ago. The scenery on the island has always been famous for its eight wonders, namely, Kameyama Asahi, Kameyama Sulphur Smoke, Kameyama Cliff, Kameyama Egg Wonder, Gui Ling Tailing, Kameyama with a hat, the stalactite Wonder in the Eyeglasses Cave and the surge of underwater hot springs. Among them, "Kameyama Asahi" ranks first among the eight wonders of Yang Lan. Observing in different places, climates and tides, there are different landscape changes, which is the charm of Guishan Island. Built in 1906, "official governance" means "official governance". Yilan was founded in 18 12 (Jiaqing 17 in Qing Dynasty) and was appointed as an official by the Qing Empire. In the past, it was the official residence of successive executive heads in Yilan, and the outdoor garden was covered with old trees, especially a century-old camphor tree, which was precious and caused discussion on preservation.

The history museum and the county government stand side by side, covering an area of 800 square meters and a construction area of 74 square meters. With the revocation of the county government, the demolition of the county government and the transformation of the old city, the museum has created a space with local history, intellectual education and leisure. There are five themes in the exhibition: the historical, cultural and social changes of Yilan since its founding 200 years ago.

Yilan country memorial hall is a western-style building. The cypress used for construction was the cypress of Taiping Mountain at that time. During the Japanese occupation period, it was the dormitory of the county magistrate of Yilan County. At that time, most of the chiefs were Japanese, and Yang Ji interpreted it as the first chief in Taiwan Province Province. After the recovery, it was taken over by the national government.

The objects displayed in Yilan Sheji Memorial Hall mainly cover the historical materials of cultural relics in three periods, the first is the Gamalan Hall era in Qing Dynasty, the second is the Yilan Hall era during Japanese occupation, and the third is the Yilan County era since the recovery. After the Qing Dynasty, Japan and the National Government, it left an indelible impact on the people, land, politics, economy, culture and education of Yilan.

The ship circled the island clockwise from the north of the island, with the turtle shell facing northwest. The mountains are gentle and the trees are lush and green, especially the large natural Pukuilin. Continue to the east, and the smell of sulfur comes to the nose. It was at the glans where the volcanic landform developed. The glans kept emitting sulfur gas for many years, which is the famous "Turtle Island Sulfur Smoke". There is an undersea hot spring near the submarine sulfur outlet.

Bypassing the glans, I came to the south side of the glasses hole. This is a stalactite cave, which looks like glasses. It is deep and secret, and used to be a trading base for smuggling fishing boats. Fishermen nicknamed it "Guishan Night Market". There is a bare cliff on the south bank of Guishan Mountain, and the towering mountain wall goes straight into the sea, which constitutes the wonder of "Guishan Cliff". Further west to Guiwei, a 7-hectare-wide Guiwei Lake is the only freshwater lake on the island. From the boat, you can see the lighthouse, monument and Gonglan Palace, and the whole trip is over.

As for the fresh whales and dolphins that often appear in the waters near Kameyama Island, there are as many as 17 species, and the number is also very considerable; On the occasion of the sea and sky, but under the bright sun, the leaping "silvery white speedboat" only leaps in the sea, and its skill is agile, competing with the boat to swim, and * * * enjoys the pleasure of swimming through the waves. Another hovercraft operated by Yang Guo Shipping started from Suao Port and returned to Kameyama Island. During the voyage, whales and dolphins can be found, and the narrator also provides an ecological description of whales and dolphins. 1. Kameyama Asahi Whale Watching Boat and Yang Guo Hovercraft are both group reservations. The former has less than 25 people and the latter has less than 30 people, so it is necessary to charter a boat. If you want to go, you must make a reservation three days before departure.

It is most suitable to visit Kameyama Island in summer. In winter, the northeast monsoon prevails and the waves are high, so tourist ships often stop sailing. Five peaks and seven waterfalls are famous scenic spots in Jiaoxi Township, yilan county, and one of the eight scenic spots in Yanglan. According to legend, the origin of the name is because the five peaks behind the waterfall are juxtaposed, which looks like the five banners inserted behind the general in Pingju, so it is called "Five Peaks Together Waterfall".

Enter the waterfall scenic spot and walk along the parking lot. Artificial facilities such as fountains, small parks, pavilions, stone tables and chairs are suitable for the whole family to rest and see the scenery. Then walk along the stone steps, that is, enter the waterfall-watching trail and walk on a wet green tree-lined path, accompanied by the sound of water.

The waterfall is divided into three layers, and you can climb the stone steps to enjoy it. The first waterfall is about 5 meters high, hidden behind the trees in a small valley, forming a small pool and a stone beach under the waterfall. It is exquisite and lovely, and has now been turned into a children's swimming area. The second waterfall is the "body" of Wufengqi Waterfall, which is well known to most people. It is 20 meters high, and the waterfall falls down the mountainside like jade beads. Wufeng Pavilion and waterfall observation deck are located under the waterfall, which is the best place to watch the waterfall. Further up, there is a "waterfall pavilion" on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the nearby mountains and green trees. The songs of colorful birds in the broad-leaved forest below are clear and bright. After climbing the stairs, you can reach the third waterfall, rushing down from the forest, splashing and refreshing, which is a summer resort; Compared with the coolness and comfort in summer, at this time in winter, the stone steps dotted with dense water and scattered cherry blossoms have a unique charm. Because the environment is humid, you should walk slowly on the stone steps.

Each section of the Wufeng Waterfall has its own interest, but because it is located in the valley, the hinterland is narrow, and holiday tourists are woven, if you can choose to come on non-holidays, you can appreciate its quiet and cool meaning. Chi Ming is located at the highest point of Beiheng Highway, about1150m above sea level. It used to be a mountain lake. Because it is surrounded by mountains and lush trees, Japanese experts were invited to design and build it, and garden landscape techniques were adopted to make the whole park full of Tang Dynasty and Japanese style, with small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and waterside pavilions everywhere. Ming pond, also known as pond tail, refers to a large and secluded pond full of aquatic plants. Due to the terrain environment, a quiet and closed space is formed, with low temperature and low humidity, and it is foggy all day long. 365 days a year, almost 300 days without sunshine, just like Storybrooke in the fog. The Forest Development Department of the Retirement Association began to plant trees here from 1965. The vast Cryptomeria forest in full of green is very beautiful and quite popular with tourists. In view of this, it is gradually planned to become a "Chi Ming Forest Recreation Area" with an area of 9 17 hectares and a practical sightseeing area of more than 40 hectares. When you visit Chiming, you should focus on the gardens in Chi Pan, which are divided into Ci Garden, Shi Jing Garden and Fern Garden.

After the change of Ci Garden, the main attractions are Ci Xiaoting and Shuiqin Cave. Cixiao Pavilion is the highest point in the park and the best view. You can see the panoramic view of Chi Ming; Follow the trend and come to Shuiqin Cave, which is a cypress cave. Through the Japanese tea ceremony, I dripped running water into the underground water tank, giving off a pleasant echo, which is a typical Japanese garden landscaping.

Shi Jing gardens are also permeated with oriental garden flavor, with white walls and black tiles, rockeries and strange stones, and the beauty of architecture is patchwork; Using stones and sand to represent the scenery and create a meditation space is quite a bit of the charm of the ancient temple in Kyoto, Japan. The fern garden is actually a humid place where Cryptomeria fortunei is densely planted. Because after years of fog and dew, the flowers and trees here are particularly beautiful, and the ferns are particularly lush, with at least 50 species.

There are two wooden trails in the park, along which you can enjoy the scenery of Chi Ming. There is a fairy tale garden next to the pool, which is a forest maze built by the stories of the seven dwarfs and Snow White, suitable for tourists of all ages to play together.

Take the bus from the front of Yilan Railway Station to Yixing Passenger Transport in Baling, and get off at Chi Ming Forest Recreation Area, but there are not many trains. Please check (03)-0300. Toucheng is the earliest developed town in Yanglan Plain, occupying the geographical position near Wushi Port, the only commercial port in Yanglan area, and has frequent business contacts with the mainland and Taipei, which is very prosperous. Today, Heping Street near Toucheng Station is the most prosperous city street at that time, and it is a witness to the rise and fall of Toucheng.

The northern section of Laojie is the site of Thirteen Lines and Lujialou. The Lujia house covers a wide area. It is a combination of complex carving and colored porcelain stone washing during the Japanese occupation in the simple traditional style of the Qing Dynasty. The sloping roof, gray tiles and round arches look unique. Line 13, located in the left front of the mansion, is the general name of Lujia 13 merchants and warehouses.

Go south along the old street and you can reach Qingyuan Palace, the first ancient temple in Kailan. Qingyuan Palace, built in the first year of Jiaqing, was the first temple built when large-scale immigrants settled in Yilan, dedicated to Mazu who sheltered immigrants. If Qingyuan Palace is the boundary, the southern section of Old Street used to be a place for small businesses, so the houses are relatively dense. Although it is not as wide as the northern section, it has the unique charm of the old street. Rows of red brick shops arched in front of our eyes, and old merchants were still engraved on our daughter's wall.
