Hualien has the most shocking Taroko Park in Taiwan and is listed as one of the top ten must-visit attractions in the world by Discovery in the United States. But if you come here just a quick look at the flowers and go to Yanzikou, Qingshui Cliff, and Qixingtan, you still don’t understand the soul of this "slimy soil" city that makes western Taiwan people willing to leave their hometowns and move here.
Today Xiaoxing will introduce you to the correct way to open Hualien.
Train
Train : Take the Taiwan Railway from Taipei to Hualien, take the Taroko number as an example, 2 hours, NT440, but this section of the road is difficult to make a vacation, you might as well buy Taipei-Yilan-Hualien . Yilan is in the hot spring season at this time, it is worth a visit (reply to "Yilan" to check Yilan guide)
Hualien County Scenic Area
Taroko Park
Taroko Park is an international attraction in Hualien and is also the reason why many people come to Hualien. The most shocking thing is that the canyon terrain formed by the Liwu Creek cutting through the marble. The hard marble is shocking, and the bottom cut is nearly 1 kilometer perpendicular. It seems thrilling. No wonder Discovery lists this place as one of the top ten must-play attractions in the world. The best viewing point is the well-known swallow mouth.

But the soul of Taroko is on the trails that are easily overlooked by the road, even if it only takes 1 hour, you can see the real Taroko.
Shakaku Trail : It is the easiest to reach and very distinctive trail. The trail passes through the forest and the valley is covered with marble. Where the stream flows through the stream, it stimulates the marble to release calcium carbonate, so the stream here is blue-green, like a fairyland.

Poplar Trail : It is the most suitable tunnel for couples. There is water discharged like a water curtain cave in the tunnel. It is pitch black inside. The girl must hold her boyfriend's hand and follow her closely. The two of them hold an umbrella in the dark trail. It is very romantic to think about it.

Walked out of the tunnel, and suddenly burst into the paradise-like fairy valley in front of you, and the branch of Liwu Creek flowed by the foot.
Qingshui Cliff
Qingshui Cliff is an excellent place to look out at the Pacific Ocean. Only when you come here will you understand what the "ocean" is. Standing here, you can undoubtedly say that I am blowing the "Pacific wind". If you take a boat out to sea and walk to the Pacific Ocean and look back at Hualien, you will understand why Portuguese sailors came to admire "Ilha Formosa!" (What a beautiful island!) This is the most extreme place where the mountains and seas meet. The clear water cliff stands at the altitude, majestic, and it faces the sea day and night.
Formosa, the beautiful island, Hualien is a condensed of the beauty of Taiwan's islands.
Qixingtan
Unlike the general sunshine, beaches and coasts, Qixingtan is a "sand beach" composed of gravel. The sea here is different from the west, with deep blue and magnificent sea and sky. The sky blue scores here, and there are also bluer in addition to blue. Also, please do not pick up the stones from Qixingtan.

Xincheng Photo Studio
If you go to Taroko to reverse the bus at Xincheng Station, this nearby bungalow with a history of 130 years and a 70-year-old photo studio is the filming location of "Midsummer Light Years". You can come and check in and take photos.

There is a Jiaxing ice fruit room next to it. Now this traditional old ice fruit room is no longer visible in Taipei. This store is particularly famous in the Knights' Circle around the Island. Everyone passing by will drink sweet soup and cold water here.

Do you think you spent 2 days to see the above attractions and sigh that "Hualian is so beautiful" will disappear? Of course no, the pace here is "slow". Walk slowly, watch slowly, and live slowly. With a relaxed mood, put your life on the open land and taste it carefully.
Riding a thousand miles away, looking for the Wizard of Oz in Huadong
The smallest freshest place in Taiwan is Hualien. The entire Huadong Long Valley is a small love tune, which is worth your special trip to this lazy and swaying leisurely as a Hualien man for a few days.The best thing is to ride a bicycle and roam the countryside trails, led by local professional cycling guides, ride the roads that only local people know, and truly go deep into the primitive tribes and primeval forests of Taiwan to get a glimpse of Taiwan stories that others cannot see.
Jian is such a place suitable for cycling and fun. The vast grasslands of livestock farms, cool green tunnels, large swaths of rain pine trees, and not a little bit beautiful. Wherever I see it, it makes me so happy that I want to sing. Reply 244 to view details
Hualien City
Golden Triangle Business District
The most lively place in the entire Hualien City is the Golden Triangle Business District surrounded by Zhongshan Road, Zhongzheng Road and Zhonghua Road. If you stay overnight in Hualien, you must come and have a look.

Here are the more famous snack stores in Hualien, including buns, Haipu oyster omelettes, caramel crumbs, Daiji flat food, Ruisui ranch, etc. in Gongzheng Street, and the well-known Hualien souvenir stores in Taiwan. Old brands such as Zengjia Mochi, Zengji Mochi, Huiyong Potato, Hualien Pie, and Deli Dried Tofu are all good choices.
Time Used Bookstore
Hualien without Eslite Bookstore, the most important cultural landmark is Time Used Bookstore. The low-short Japanese-style old wooden house, a few cats and dogs, a second-hand book, and a cup of drink are also a way for you to enjoy Hualien quietly and slowly.
Address: No. 8 Jianguo Road
Next to the bookstore is Hualien’s famous scallion pancake street, selling well-known fried egg scallion pancakes in Taiwan.
Hualien Creative Cultural Park
Hualien's cultural and creative park has the feeling of Taipei Huashan Art and Culture Special Zone, but it is much larger, and is transformed from more than 20 buildings with a very historical year. There are restaurants, coffee shops, exhibition halls, art galleries, etc. in the park, where you can eat and shop, and you can have a leisurely cup of coffee. You can spend most of the day here.
The winter tracing of the stream is also warm. Wanrong Yexi Hot Spring tracing
Not only do you have to walk, see, and eat in Hualien, you must also deeply experience its beauty. The tracing of the stream is such an experience. You may not know what this is. Xiaoxing comes to popularize it. Shuxi is an outdoor activity that goes upstream in the valley, combining mountaineering, rock climbing, camping, swimming, and rope operation. Many people think that tracing the stream is just a patent for summer, because you will soak your body in the stream water and enjoy the scenery along the way along the water, but you don’t know that the wild stream hot springs in Hualien can traverse the stream in winter, and the hot springs passing along the way are scalded, soaking your entire body in it, which is so comfortable. After soaking in the hot spring, you can also catch shrimps and campfires. Sleeping in a tent and falling asleep with the sound of insects will definitely be an experience that will make you remember for a lifetime! Reply 235 to view details

B&B
A saying circulated in Hualien: The soil here is very sticky. Because as long as people who have been here for a while will have the idea of staying and taking root. So when you come to Hualien, you must stay in a homestay, because many elites who are tired of life in big cities "escape" to open a homestay here, which is very personal. All B&Bs can be booked on the Blue Planet Platform
Hualien City
Hualien City B&Bs are in good locations. Most of them are within a 10-minute drive from the station. It only takes a few minutes to go to the Golden Triangle Business District. It is also convenient to go to scenic spots such as Taroko Park. There are too many unique features. Here are a few.
