Toucheng was once the economic heartbeat of Yilan. Its proximity to Wushi Harbor made it a massive distribution center for goods. However, a series of floods in the 1920s and the development of the railway eventually shifted the trade elsewhere, leaving Heping Street frozen in a beautiful state of decay and quiet preservation.

We leisurely spent the day in Beitou, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Shilin Night Market, which are all on the metro red line, on our fourth day in Taiwan. In the afternoon after our visit to Beitou, we moved to the magnificent Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (國立中正紀念堂) and the grand Liberty Square Arch (自由廣場牌樓). Every inch of the memorial was designed with intention and symbolism. 

Beitou is famous for its natural hot springs and rich history, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and culture. It was developed as a hot spring resort during the Japanese era. Beitou of today is characterized by its high quality spas and onsen hotels.
