Shopping in Yilan
Yilan Travel Guide
Shopping in Yilan is very limited, but it’s enough to cover your essential purchases and provide a bit of retail therapy. Despite being a quiet, rural destination and much better known for its beautiful scenery than its cosmopolitan atmosphere, it does have a good shopping mall or 2 and some interesting boutiques to look around.
As with most destinations in Taiwan, the stars of the Yilan shopping scene are the night markets. In fact, some of the island’s friendliest and most interesting night markets can be found in this county. They’re great places to enjoy local street snacks and practise your haggling skills while buying some interesting souvenirs.

3 Best Places to Go Shopping in Yilan
Read itThere's not a huge number of places to go shopping in Yilan as it's really not a shopping destination. As with most places in Taiwan, it has a great night market or 2 and even a couple of modest malls, but they can’t compete with the megamalls of Taipei, which aren’t that far away. If you’re looking for cutting-edge fashion, you’re looking in the wrong place.
For covering your essentials, grabbing a few fun souvenirs and maybe having a day of retail therapy, Yilan has what it needs. The night market, in particular, is one of Taiwan’s finest and is worth checking out even if you’re not looking to buy anything.
