Hualien Cultural experiences

A fun activity to make our own souvenirs. Teen kids enjoyed selecting stones, designs, and grinding to perfection. An easy taxi ride from Hualien City. Worked out fine as English speakers with Google Translate app.

my experience here was amazing! The studio is very well equipped with all different types of pretty glass. the instructions are very helpful. the staff was also amazing and very kind.

Amazing Experience! The women are so lovely, warm, kind, and patient. All the proceeds go directly to a charity organization helping local when and children. You will have the opportunity to make your own glass bread in a pattern of your choosing under the careful instruction of a teacher and translator (app assisted) if you do not speak Chinese. Then you will be able to weave your own souvenir. I highly recommend and it all goes towards a great cause!

very patient and experienced instructor who is proud of his work!

The cooking experience at "Jialanke Kitchen" was what I was most looking forward to in Hualien! 🌿 My husband and I participated with an American couple, making a group of four. It was a time to learn about traditional Amis cuisine and their appreciation for the local culture and nature. We saw many vegetables that are not found in Japan. Everything was delicious with simple seasoning. For vegetables we didn't recognize, they explained them using Chinese characters. Even though we didn't understand English or Taiwanese, we had a wonderful time. I particularly loved the seasoning called Maqao (Ma-gao), and even after returning to Japan, I use it in everything, including curry, grilled fish, and fried rice. Every time I smell its aroma, I remember Hualien. I hope to see the two of you again.
