Jimmy Square
幾米廣場
A picture-book themed square beside Yilan Station, turning the works of Yilan-born picture-book artist Jimmy Liao into installations and sculptures.
Jimmy Liao is a well-known picture-book artist from Yilan, whose works include Walk Left, Walk Right, Starry Sky and Subway. Jimmy Square lies south of Yilan Station and was converted from an old warehouse area. Scattered around the square are scene installations from his books: a little boy and girl pulling suitcases, a train carriage floating in the air, giant suitcases, giraffes and more. The station's outer walls also feature Jimmy's picture-book illustrations. Next to the square is the Diudiudang Forest, with its steel tree forest and suspended train, which takes on a special atmosphere once the lights come on in the evening. The former Yilan Food Bureau office, the Yilan Administrative Memorial Hall and the Jiazilan Liquor Museum of the Yilan Distillery are all within walking distance. Admission is free, suitable for photos and families, and allow 30 to 60 minutes. Getting there: exit Yilan Station on the Taiwan Railway and you are there; the bus transfer station is also nearby.
