Xiluo
Spend a half day in Xiluo to see the bridge, Guangfu Temple and a soy‑sauce factory tour; add a night if you want market food.
Xiluo is a small agricultural town in Yunlin County, best explored on foot or bike. Its historic bridge, Mazu temple and a traditional soy‑sauce factory are the main draws. One day covers the sights; a night adds market dining.

Rules in force · 5
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- Taiwan ↗Check visa-exemption length, passport validity and the online arrival card (TWAC) on the official sites before you fly.
- Taiwan ↗An EasyCard (or iPASS) covers MRT, buses, local trains and many convenience-store purchases; buy one at the airport or a station.
- Taiwan ↗When a local government declares a typhoon day, transport and sights can close for the day; follow the official notice, not the forecast alone.
