Shicheng Service Area (Lan Cafe) Introduction
The Shicheng Service Area, located about 300 meters from the Shicheng Settlement, is a great spot for travelers to rest and enjoy the scenery. It is divided into three areas: the main service area, a parking lot, and a sculpture exhibition square. The brick-red main building blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, while the sculpture exhibition square features several murals related to the history of land reclamation in Yilan, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty of nature while learning local cultural stories. The two-story building, built utilizing the coastal topography, connects the upper level to the parking lot, which serves as a space for small shops where travelers can relax and enjoy the ocean views. The lower level, close to the coastline, provides public restrooms for visitors. Exquisite View Afternoon Tea - The Aroma of Coffee in Shicheng After being remodeled by the management office, the first specialty scenic coffee house in the Northeast Corner has been established here. The coffee house features a design with numerous windows and few walls, enhancing the experience of the beautiful scenery from all directions. As you progress along the coastal highway, with views of the blue Pacific Ocean, the appearance of this coffee shop evokes an indescribable delight. Sitting on the open-air observation deck, sipping signature coffee accompanied by light snacks and soft music, the view in front changes with time. During the day, you can admire the distant Turtle Island, the vast Pacific Ocean, hardworking fishermen, clusters of fishing boats, and the sea-eroded platforms; at dusk, the sky fills with colorful clouds, framing the beauty of the sunset over Turtle Island; and at night, the shimmering lights of fishing boats break the darkness, presenting a different ambiance. If you travel through this area, take a moment to stop, escape the urban hustle and bustle, and experience the leisurely and unique charm of Shicheng!
