The Yilan County Government has completely banned ATV recreational activities in 2018, but the central government's policy is based on the management principle of "guidance and prohibition combined with enforcement". The county government has recently completed the "Yilan County ATV Activity Management Autonomy Bill". After eight years of ban, Dong'ao Beach will be opened to allow operators to apply for ATV recreational activities, and it will be on the road as soon as next year.

ATV recreational activities in Yixian County used to be concentrated on the beaches of Nan'ao and Dong'ao; in 2018, an ATV tourist was swept away by a long wave at the mysterious beach in Nan'ao, resulting in an accident that resulted in five deaths. The county government closed the waters for recreational activities and did not lift the ban until March 2024; however, ATVs are still not open in Yixian because they are for-profit activities, but the county government conducted joint inspections and found illegal operations.

The Executive Yuan has held a meeting to discuss that the management of ATVs should be adapted to local conditions. Based on ecological and safety considerations, ATV activities should be prohibited in principle in areas with ecological sensitivity, rivers or dangerous steep slopes. In the future, ATV activities should be assessed in the direction of "both guidance and prohibition" to assess the suitability of permitted ATV activities in each site.

The county government invited coastal towns and cities in the county to discuss with relevant units. After evaluating safety, ecological sensitivity and other aspects, it was decided to open a 200-meter ecological buffer zone north of the mouth of the Beixi River in Dong'ao, and a 200-meter ecological buffer zone south of the mouth of the Nanxi River in Dong'ao, as areas for ATV operations. The county government stated that Yixian County would only open the beaches of Dong'ao for ATV recreational activities, and the remaining beaches are still completely prohibited.

In order to allow operators to apply in accordance with the law and standardize related issues such as liability, safety protection and insurance, the Yilan County Government has formulated the "Yilan County ATV Activity Management Autonomy Draft". The draft has been announced and the Tourism Administration of the Ministry of Transportation has recommended amendments. It will be reviewed by the county executive meeting. After approval, it will be sent to the Yilan County Assembly for review, and it will be put on the road as soon as next year.
