Yilan Distillery Chia Chi Lan Liquor Museum turns an old industrial site into a low-key stop about local alcohol production. The distillery building dates from the Japanese period, and the museum traces how Yilan made and sold its wine and spirits before whisky became the county's better-known drink.
It is a good pairing with the nearby art and literary museums because it keeps the day from becoming too polite. You get brick, vats, labels, tastings, and a practical reminder that Taiwanese towns often preserve their history through factories as much as temples.
