Hualien
Hualien, known as a paradise of beauty, offers a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. We recommend hiking in Taroko National Park to admire the magnificent marble canyons and the majestic Liwu River. Don't forget to visit the Eternal Spring Shrine, built with local Hualien marble, and the Taroko Mother Bridge, nestled in the ravine.
After enjoying the natural beauty, return to the city for a delicious meal at the Dongdamen Night Market.

We booked a pickup service, and the driver arrived early at the hotel to pick us up. Upon arrival, he guided us to collect our boat tickets and then to a small classroom for a briefing. After the briefing, we set off. On the boat, the guide continuously shared information and taught us methods to alleviate seasickness. Seeing the dolphins was truly breathtaking; we marveled at the wonders of nature. The dolphins swimming around the boat were incredibly impressive. The entire experience, from boarding to disembarking, lasted about 1.5 hours and was absolutely worthwhile.

An absolutely fantastic experience!!! 100 points!! The boat was very comfortable and clean! And my mom and I didn't get seasick! Others did, haha! Seeing the ocean was truly amazing! You definitely have to choose this boat; it's a great experience, and they even provide pickup and drop-off, which is very thoughtful. I was originally worried about getting sick, even though I wore anti-nausea acupressure patches, but I guess I forgot all about it because I was in such a good mood!!!! The dolphins were super cute and there were so many of them!!!! The color of the ocean was an unparalleled blue!!!
Instructor: Superb
Location: Excellent

The weather was nice that day, and the waves were relatively calm. We brought our two kids (ages 4 and 6), and the four of us took a boat ride together.
We took the 13:30 boat. Hualien is very sunny, and the ocean was a deep, super-gorgeous blue. I initially thought the kids would not be able to stand the heat, but because they were so excited, they sat at the bow of the boat for the entire hour and a half, enjoying the best view.
We were also very lucky on this trip and saw lots of dolphins, which had us gasping in amazement. My 4-year-old daughter even said, "Mom, I feel so happy!" This made me feel that the trip was totally worth it!!

Highly, highly recommend! My family loved it! 💕 1. The instructor was incredibly professional. 2. We learned about Amis indigenous culture. 3. We gained a clear understanding of hunting knowledge. 4. The archery experience was very fun. 5. We tried on Amis traditional clothing. 6. We experienced making bamboo rice, grilling wild boar, and tasting wild vegetable soup (it was super delicious!). 7. Millet wine was all-you-can-drink (so happy!). P.S. Please do not drink alcohol if you are under 18. Drinking harms your health, but not drinking makes you sad. Highly, highly recommend! The kids at home loved it! 👍

A big thank you to Coach Qiao Qiao (the 'King of Banter'?) and Coach Xiong for guiding us through this activity! The entire process was incredibly smooth and fun, and all safety details were meticulously handled. Highly recommended! Also, a special thanks to Coach Qiao Qiao for the amazing sashimi – it was so thick, haha!

Wild Monkey Valley is a really fun place! I even overcame my fear of heights there. Not only did I become the Zip Line King, but I also got to see the amazing scenery. The suspension bridge and the log raft were a lot of fun too. I hope I can come back and zip line again next time! ❤️❤️❤️🏅🏅🏅

A variety of jade stones will be provided on-site for you to choose from. The stones have already been pre-shaped in advance. Once you pick your favorite piece, an expert will guide you on how to polish it. There is no need to worry if it is your first time polishing, as you can take your time trying and learning throughout the process. After you finish your part, a professional will help make fine adjustments to make the final shape even more beautiful. Once polishing is complete, you will choose where to drill a hole, and the subsequent drilling and polishing will be assisted by a professional. While waiting for the polishing to finish, you can go ahead and pick out your preferred cord. There are two types and multiple colors available on-site: - 📿 Necklace cord: can be worn as a necklace - 🧿 Hanging cord: can be attached to a bag, phone, or elsewhere as a small charm. Once the polishing is done, the staff will call you over so you can hand them the cord you selected earlier for final assembly! The most fun part of the entire experience is getting to participate in polishing the jade yourself, rather than simply buying a finished product. In the end, receiving a piece of jade you helped create adds a special commemorative value.

I think glass cutting is great because there are so many fun, colorful glass options for us to make crafts. The owner is not only kind, but there are also many products for us to choose from. My mom bought a lot of glass bottles, jewelry boxes, and necklaces, and I think they're all wonderful! 🏅🏅🏅 If I can come again next time, I will definitely make more crafts. 😍😍😍😍😍😍
