1. Yilan – Green Dance International Sightseeing Hotel
Located in Wujie Township, Yilan, the “Green Dance International Sightseeing Hotel” is Yilan’s first Japanese-style accommodation. It incorporates the Japanese culture loved by Lan Junde, chairman of the parent company Siwei Shipping. By utilizing the natural elevation changes of the land, the hotel features artificial hills, waterfalls, arched bridges, and lakes, along with plantings such as black pines, camphor trees, cherry blossoms, and junipers. It authentically recreates a classic Japanese stroll-style garden in Taiwan, earning it the nickname “Taiwan’s version of Kenrokuen Garden.” The beautiful scenery is incredibly photogenic from every angle.
