If you’re heading to Yilan, Taiwan, and looking for a spot that feels like stepping directly into a storybook, you don't have to go far. Right outside the Yilan Railway Station, you’ll find two of the most Instagrammable and enchanting spots in the city: Diu Diu Dang Forest Park and Jimmy Park.

Whether you're a fan of Taiwanese illustrator Jimmy Liao or just someone who appreciates a bit of urban magic, these parks are a must-visit.

Located right in Luodong, Yilan, Kingspy 007 (宜蘭金特務007) is arguably the coolest indoor attraction in the area. This is a fully interactive training camp where you go from a "civilian" to a "secret agent" in under two hours.

If there is one place that has taken Instagram by storm in Yilan, it’s Kong Yeh Farm (空ㄟ農場). Perched high above the Jiaoxi township, this isn't your typical "farm" with animals and crops, it’s a hilltop restaurant offering what locals call the "Million-Dollar Night View" of the Lanyang Plain.

I have never dreamt of travelling to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, let alone for work purpose. It happened back in 2023, two months after I first joined my current company.

Although I have been to several Middle East countries and even worked in Qatar for five years, suffice to say KSA is not a popular destination for non-Muslim female travelers.
