On October 19, the Northeast Coast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration of the Tourism Administration, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, held a "2026 Northeast Coast Taiwan Tour" route preview and experience event. Through the actual rides and personal experiences of KOLs and KOCs, three distinctive tourist routes were carefully selected: the 856 Golden Fulong Line, Green 19 Yilan Northeast Coast Line, and Green 18 Zhuangwei Sand Dune Line. From transportation convenience, scenic spot features, food experience to photo highlights, a one-stop test was conducted to help travelers discover how to have a wonderful independent trip to the Northeast Coast without driving.
This scouting trip wasn't just about "visiting attractions," but about picking out truly worthwhile itineraries from a traveler's perspective! From mountain and sea cycling in Fulong, to freshly caught seafood at Daxi Fishing Port, to the therapeutic hot springs in Jiaoxi, and all the way to Zhuangwei Sand Dunes and local farm food, you can collect five completely different travel landscapes in one day: mountains, sea, fishing port, hot springs, and sand dunes.
KOL & KOC First Stop: Fulong – More Than Just Sea Views, “Riding” into the First Row of Mountains and Sea
Our first stop was the 856 Golden Fulong Line. Of course, once we arrived in Fulong, we couldn't just take a picture of the sea view and leave!
The tour begins at Fulong Beach and the surrounding area of Old Grass Ridge, where participants cycle along, enjoying the sea breeze and taking in the mountain and sea views as well as the charming towns along the way. The 856 Golden Fulong Route also connects local cuisine, cycling, souvenirs, and accommodations, allowing for flexible combinations from half-day trips to two-day, one-night coastal retreats.
For travelers who enjoy photography, cycling, and in-depth travel, this is the top choice for getting started in the Northeast Coast – a place where you can "start playing as soon as you get off the bus".
KOLs and KOCs' second stop: Enjoy "origin-grade seafood" directly from Daxi Fishing Port.
When exploring the Northeast, how can you miss out on seafood!
The tour then boarded Green 19, Yilan's northeast coastline, and headed to Daxi Fishing Port to savor specialty monkfish dishes and fresh catches. From the arrival of fishing boats in the port and the scenery of the fishing village to the serving of seafood, it was not just about "eating a seafood meal," but about stepping directly into the most authentic daily life of a fishing port in the northeast coast.
For food lovers, Daxi Fishing Port is an unmissable stop on this trip; no need to drive and find parking, just take the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle to follow the seafood on your journey.
KOLs and KOCs' third stop: Enjoy the sea breeze in the morning and switch directly to "Jiaoxi Healing Mode" in the afternoon.
After enjoying seafood, the journey immediately shifted to a different pace.
Upon arriving at Jiaoxi Hot Spring Park, the lush greenery, trees, and the relaxed atmosphere unique to the hot spring town instantly transformed the exploration group from "coastal mode" to "healing mode."
The most appealing aspect of Green 19 is that it connects the coastline, fishing ports, gourmet food, and hot springs in one route. Spend the morning enjoying the sea, lunch eating seafood, and the afternoon experiencing a leisurely hot spring trip in Jiaoxi. You can easily complete a rich and fulfilling mini-trip in the Northeast Coast without having to transfer frequently or figure out complicated transportation.
KOL & KOC Fourth Stop: Photogenic Zhuangwei Sand Dunes and Local Farm Food - Save These Photos Too!
The last stop was the Green 18 Zhuangwei Sand Dune Line.
Vast sand dunes, coastal landscapes, and open skies completely transform the journey. After strolling through the Zhuangwei Sand Dune Ecological Park, the tour group visited "Kewei Bakery Zhuangwei Sand Dune Branch," a partner store of the package tour, to sample pumpkin soy milk and specialty breads, incorporating local agricultural products from Yilan into their journey.
From natural landscapes to local delicacies, the Zhuangwei Sand Dune Route is especially suitable for travelers who enjoy taking photos, slow travel, and discovering unique shops. It is also a route that is particularly photogenic among the routes explored by KOLs and KOCs this time.
This isn't about scheduling trips, it's about "testing it out" for travelers! Choose from 3 flexible Taiwan Tourist Shuttle routes.
The Northeast Coast National Scenic Area Administration stated that this trip, which involved KOLs and KOCs to experience the route firsthand, aimed to provide a real-world perspective from the traveler's point of view. They wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to get around, whether the attractions are worth visiting, what good food is available along the route, and how to combine activities for maximum enjoyment. This would allow travelers to directly refer to the carefully selected itineraries based on real-world testing when planning their own trips to the Northeast Coast.
The 856 Golden Fulong Line is suitable for travelers who enjoy cycling, mountain and sea views, and slow coastal travel; Green 19 Yilan Northeast Coastline features seafood from fishing ports, coastal scenery, and Jiaoxi hot springs; Green 18 Zhuangwei Sand Dune Line connects sand dune landscapes, photo spots, and local farm food.
With 3 routes and 3 distinct styles, travelers don't need to drive themselves or cram their entire itinerary into one trip. They can freely choose what they want to eat, take photos, soak in, or ride, creating their own version of the Northeast Coast.
