Wujie is a coastal township in Yilan County, about 40,000 people, next to Luodong. The draw is the National Center for Traditional Arts on the Dongshan River, plus the Erjie Rice Barn and a cluster of small temples a few minutes apart. Sights sit within about 2 km, so half a day covers them; most travellers sleep in Luodong and come over by taxi.

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.
