Yilan Lili Westin Resort Hotel is not a high-rise building complex, but rather a resort hidden in Yuanshan Township, Yilan. None of its buildings exceed three floors. Each room type is spacious and comfortable, and features an open-air private garden hot spring tub. If you want privacy, you can simply close the sliding door to create your own private hot spring space. Many people think of Jiaoxi Hot Springs when they hear about Yilan, but the hot springs in Yuanshan are no less impressive. During the Japanese colonial period, Yuanshan Hot Springs were only open to Japanese visitors. The springs are abundant, with crystal-clear and transparent water. Yuanshan Hot Springs are said to improve skin quality and have whitening effects, hence they are also known as “Beauty Hot Springs.”
