With the nearby Wushih and Touwei Harbors around the same time, it became the economic focal point of Yilan. However, in the late 1800s and early 1900s Wushih Harbor and Touwei Harbor silted in, reducing their function.<br>With the advent of the Japanese-built Yilan railway line in the mid-1900&#8217;s, as well as constant floods and continual silting of the harbors, Toucheng quickly lost its importance economically and fell into decay. <br>After residents of Turtle Island were relocated to Daxi in Toucheng, Daxi Harbor was expanded and has become one of the largest fishing harbors in the area. <br>Due to its close proximity to Taipei, Toucheng has become a major tourist area and may be the most popular surfing location in Taiwan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When to go?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best weather in Yilan lasts from about March to November.
