The bus rolls out of Taipei and the air changes — salt and pine drift in from the northeast coast as the highway unwinds toward Yilan. You step off near a low-slung museum whose faceted concrete skin echoes the nearby geological folds, then follow a short coastal itinerary that moves from harbor breeze to open parkland and, by evening, the neon hum of Luodong Night Market.
