Our travel team and attentive driver-guides will introduce you to Hualien’s coastal scenery.
Yun Shan Shui
This 24-hectare estate surrounds the dreamlike, 4-hectare Dream Lake. Its grounds are planted with 26 palm species, broadleaf woodland, seasonal flowers and wide green lawns. Fed by the Hualien River, the lake has clear, open water. In winter, tall bald cypresses turn red along its edges. Their trunks rise from the water, and with each ripple the whole woodland seems to float, giving Yun Shan Shui an almost otherworldly atmosphere.
Guangfu Sugar Factory
Explore the Hualien Tourism Sugar Factory for a glimpse of the sugar industry’s heyday. The grounds include a visitor centre, recreation centre, restaurants, cafés, orchids for sale, bumper cars, a children’s play area, bicycle hire and a sugar-industry history museum. At the ice cream shop, try the distinctive plain ice or ice topped with a raw egg. This is the original location, with no branches!
Ruisui Ranch
Clean water from the Central Mountain Range keeps the pasture at Ruisui Ranch lush and green, feeding more than 300 healthy Dutch-breed dairy cows. Take a warm cup of fresh milk to a shady seat at the outdoor café. With the broad landscape in front of you and dairy treats to sample, it is easy to slip into the slower pace of a holiday.
Shitiping
Shitiping, a world-class outdoor geology classroom, lies at the southern end of Shiti Bay in Fengbin Township, Hualien County. This vast marine terrace has highly developed sea-eroded formations: wave-cut platforms, raised coral reefs, erosion channels and sea cliffs are everywhere. Its potholes are particularly remarkable, among the finest in Taiwan.
Qinbuzhizi Skywalk
Built into Qinbuzhizi Cliff in Fengbin Township, Hualien, this 150-metre transparent walkway uses H-beams and reinforced glass. Walking on it offers the thrill of standing on a cliff along with sweeping ocean views. It follows an old Amis path on the east coast, where the route along the sheer cliff once had almost nowhere to put a foot, earning the name Qinbuzhizi Cliff.
