Welcome the New Year in the Northeast Corner – Have a Fun-Filled Winter Vacation

The 2010 Lunar New Year holiday is about to begin, and the festive atmosphere of Spring Festival is gradually building up. This year, the Northeast Coast & Yilan Scenic Area is launching the “Blessings & Spring Walk Spiritual Journey.” From the first to the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, there are numerous great-value deals across the entire Northeast Coast area. In addition to praying at temples, the public can also plan a refined and relaxing leisure trip.

The Northeast Coast boasts well-developed cycling trails, the coastal resort town of Fulong, as well as mountain trails such as the Nanzilin Trail, Longdong Bay Cape Trail, Caoling Historic Trail, and Taoyuan Valley Trail. These are perfect for outdoor walks, healthy activities, and ideal destinations for family outings. Currently, the Fulong Railway Station has completed renovations including an underground passage and bicycle towing facilities, while the Zha’an Observation Deck in Nanfang’ao will also be completed before the holiday, offering views of Su’ao Harbor and Neipi Beach to enjoy the exceptional charm of the seaside.

The Northeast Coast is rich in cultural heritage. Its coastal location has made local temples important spiritual landmarks for residents. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, visit Fulong Dongxing Temple, Nanfang’ao Jin’an Temple, and Nantian Temple for the Golden-Faced Mazu Pilgrimage Walk; from the third to fifth day, attend the Wealth God Welcoming Ceremony at the Golden Buddha of Lingshu Mountain Wusheng Taoist Monastery; on the eighth day, join the “Fusheng Shanyuan” Prayer Lantern Lighting and Tea Gathering at the Fulong Visitor Center; and on the ninth day, experience the unique festivities at Dali Tian Gong Temple. The most festive “Spring Walk” itineraries in the Northeast Coast warmly kick off, bringing good fortune and blessings for the new year.

To complement the Spring Festival events, businesses in the Northeast Coast area — including Beiguan and Toucheng Farm — are offering accommodation discounts, making it a great opportunity for an authentic rural experience. Longdong Four Seasons Bay, Lungshan Su’ao Hot and Cold Spring Resort Hotel, and others are also featuring winter hot spring packages, creating a romantic and exciting playground that offers new experiences in leisure vacations and maritime culture. The Fulong Bayview Hotel, designed with a Southeast Asian island-style vibe, features seaside villas for a resort stay feeling. Even though you’re still in Taiwan, it feels like you’re enjoying a top-tier vacation in a foreign land. Meanwhile, Jiuan Seaview Lodge and Rio Marine Hot Spring Resort Center feature Minnan-style architecture and modern Zen-inspired interiors, offering a tranquil and elegant retreat — a true hidden gem in the Northeast Coast.

Additionally, the Taipei County Gold Museum offers free admission, and the National Center for Traditional Arts provides free entry to Yilan County residents with ID on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year. These are must-visit trendy choices for an in-depth New Year’s travel experience.
