I recently traveled to Yilan and specially arranged a day to visit the "Yilan Green Dance Japanese Theme Park". This place is based on Japanese culture and combines natural landscapes and traditional architecture, making people feel as if they are in the Japanese countryside. As soon as you enter the park, you will be attracted by the strong Japanese style. The park has traditional Japanese buildings, such as shrines, teahouses and Japanese-style gardens, as well as a landscaped lake with an arch bridge and a carp pond, which is perfect for taking photos. The surrounding plants are neatly arranged, whether it is the cherry trees (seasonal only) or the bamboo forest, they all make people feel the quiet beauty of a Japanese garden. The park offers many interactive experiences, such as wearing kimonos and geta, archery, tea ceremony experience, etc. I chose the kimono rental service. After changing into the kimono, I strolled around the park and took photos. It really felt like I was walking on the streets of an ancient Japanese city. The tea ceremony experience is led by a professional teacher who will personally brew matcha and pair it with Japanese wagashi, allowing you to feel the delicacy and tranquility of Japanese culture. When we visited, there happened to be Japanese dance and Taiko performances. The dancers' kimono and fan dances accompanied by live music were full of traditional Japanese style and the atmosphere was very lively. The Taiko performance was thrilling. The performers had such strength and rhythm that the audience couldn't help but applaud. There are several theme restaurants in the park. I chose a Japanese restaurant and tasted the set meal, including sushi, tempura and miso soup. The ingredients were fresh and the taste was authentic. There is also a souvenir area in the park, where you can buy matcha snacks, handicrafts and Yilan local specialties, which combine the characteristics of Japan and Yilan. Overall, Yilan Green Dance Japanese Theme Park is a great place that combines culture and entertainment, suitable for families, couples or friends. Here you can not only enjoy the Japanese atmosphere, but also experience different cultural activities in person. Whether you want to take beautiful photos, relax, or learn about Japanese culture, all your needs can be met. The only small drawback is that there are a few more people on weekends and you may need to wait a little when taking pictures, but overall it is still worth a visit. If I have a chance to come again next time, I would like to try more experience activities! Recommended to all travelers who like Japanese culture or want to seek exotic customs! #Yilan #CoolTravelExperience #CoupleTravel #PseudoTravel #JapaneseScenery
