Recommended Hualien transportation guide for must-see attractions in Hualien

Hualien is a small county in eastern Taiwan. Hualien is fresh and indifferent. Many people pursue literature and art. In fact, when you come to Hualien, you will find that literature and art is such a simple thing. Below, the editor will introduce to you the must-visit special attractions in Hualien, as well as Hualien’s transportation guide. Qixingtan

The water in Qixingtan is very clear. If it is a sunny day, the distant mountains and flowing clouds will come into view, and the breeze will be gentle and sweet. The shore of Qixingtan is not a beach, but pebbles. Qingshui Cliff

Qingshui Cliff is the most breathtaking and magnificent representative landscape of Suhua Highway. Under the cliff is the magnificent Pacific Ocean. Feitian Panshan, Qingshui Mountain, Thousand Mile Eye Mountain, Liwu Mountain and other scenic spots are all made of crystallized limestone with steep cliffs. Among them, the southeastern cliff of Qingshui Mountain is particularly precipitous. The cliff faces the sea for 5 kilometers, which is spectacular and is located on the whole line. The middle line is where Qingshui Cliff gets its name.

There are two observation decks in Qingshui Cliff, but they are both built on the sea and the cliff. If you have to find the difference between them, it is that the scenery you see is slightly different. Starting from Hualien City, you can first pass the first observation deck, which is located lower and has a wider view. The second observation deck is a 5-minute drive away. It is located higher and the scenery is more magnificent in my opinion. Taroko National Park

Taroko National Park spans three county-level administrative regions: Hualien County, Taichung County, and Nantou County. There is Taiwan's first east-west transverse highway passing through the park, called the Zhongheng Highway System. Through this highway, one can reach Hualien from Cingjing Farm. It was very difficult to build this highway at that time, so many people died. One of the scenic spots in Taroko National Park, the Changchun Temple, is here to commemorate the 212 employees who died in the line of duty during the construction of the Zhongheng Highway. Great heroes.

Taroko National Park is characterized by canyons and cliffs, and the scenery is magnificent and steep. Since Taroko National Park is prone to rockfall, you must wear a helmet when entering the park to ensure the safety of tourists. However, helmets are provided for free. I really like that such a large attraction is free. I really like it! Transportation
