Gueishan Island Gueishan Island is a volcanic island located in the Pacific Ocean, east of the Lanyang Plain. Its name comes from its resemblance to a floating turtle. The waters around Gueishan Island are relatively shallow and flat, making it a popular spot for fish to gather, and it is one of Taiwan's three major fishing grounds. It is also a key location for whale and dolphin watching, with 17 species of whales and dolphins, including bottlenose dolphins, Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, and false killer whales. The best season for whale and dolphin watching is from April to September. Currently, there are entertainment boats docked at Wushi Harbor, providing whale and dolphin watching services and marine cultural experiences. Visitors should not miss this opportunity. (Note: The main pier for visiting Gueishan Island is Wushi Harbor in Toucheng.) Wai'ao Beach Wai'ao Beach is located in Toucheng, Yilan, just north of Wushi Harbor. It is a flat beach with white waves rolling in, creating a sparkling effect in the sunlight. The silhouette of Gueishan Island can be seen in the distance, making it a breathtakingly beautiful spot. In addition to playing in the waves, the beach also offers exciting and challenging activities such as paragliding and surfing. Visitors can come to Wai'ao Beach to enjoy water and sky sports, and there are service centers in the area to provide convenience to tourists.

Lanyang Museum The exterior of the Lanyang Museum is designed to resemble the single-sided mountains commonly found on the north coast. The museum is a center for Yilan's humanities, tourism, natural history, and cultural research. The museum's logo is meant to convey the idea of "harmony between humans and nature" and "links between humans and history". After discussions among Yilan's museum experts, historians, natural ecology teachers, local painters, and county officials, the logo was designed based on the traditional wooden carvings of the Kavalan indigenous tribe. The logo also acknowledges the hard work and contributions of many people who made the museum possible.
