The Yongzhen coast in Zhuangwei Township boasts one of the eight best views of Yilan: the sunrise over Turtle Island. However, a lack of tourist facilities like toilets and showers have caused a problem for nearby temples. After urging from residents, the Northeast Coast Scenic Area Administration set up a rest stop at Yongzhen. Adjacent to both Provincial Highway No. 2 and the coastal bike path, the spot has become an instant hit for photos.

The sandy interior of this modern building along the coast gives it a warm ambiance, with Turtle Island just outside the window. This is the new Yongzhen rest stop in Yilan County.

The Yongzhen coast in Zhuangwei Township draws lots of visitors to watch the sunrise over Turtle Island, one of the eight classic views of Yilan. But lacking nearby infrastructure like a restroom or showers, many people would go to the nearby temples to use their facilities.

They’d have sand in their clothes and come here to wash off. It would clog the pipes.

It’s in the Yongzhen coastal recreation area. For a long time, it’s been lacking this kind of high-quality location for washrooms and shops.

After requests to the central government, the Northeast Coast Scenic Area Administration invested in building a rest stop at the public park. Now, after two years of planning and construction, it’s finally open. The first floor offers visitor information and bicycle rentals, while the second story has a coffee shop.

Wow, the ocean views here are unbeatable. You can see the beautiful Turtle Island. Plus the food here is delicious, as well as the drinks and desserts.

We hope that while on a cycling trip, it’s not just about the cycling. You can connect with the natural beauty along the route, as well as the local community and culture.

The outdoor space on the roof also offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Turtle Island. Located conveniently next to Provincial Highway No. 2 and the coastal bikeway, the Yongzhen rest stop has become a new highlight for slow travel along the northeast coast.
