Jialulan Recreation Area
Located near the stunning Provincial Highway 11, around the 157.7 km mark, the Jialulan Recreation Area is not far from the Little Yehliu Scenic Area. Originally a waste soil disposal site during the construction of the Air Force's Zhishang Base Airport, it has been transformed through ecological engineering by the East Coast National Scenic Area Administration. It has now become a very popular recreational destination. A group of East Coast art enthusiasts gathers here annually for a craft fair in a lively market-style event, which has received an enthusiastic response. Nearby cafes are often fully booked, so we recommend you come for a visit.
