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.

Fantastic 5.0
This trip was fantastic! Our tour guide, Mr. Xu, did an excellent job arranging everything for us, allowing us to fully experience the romance of the Pacific. We saw the crystal-clear waters of Qixingtan at its best in the morning, spotted dolphins during our boat trip, and the ocean color at Qingshui Cliff was truly mysterious and beautiful. He also shared some local insights, giving us a deeper understanding of the area. Thank you very much! ^_^♪

Enjoy your visit to the Taroko Gorge, even though most of the trails are closed due to the 2024 earthquake. It's still a pleasant experience with a few stops along the way. Thanks to Josephine for her explanations and her sense of humor.

Thanks, Jack! We had a wonderful trip. Even though Taroko hasn’t fully reopened yet, it was still so majestic. Our experienced tour guide made the journey truly joyful. We’ll definitely be back once the rest of the park opens up!

The scenery along the Xiuguluan River is truly worthwhile. It doesn't have to be thrilling; just sitting on the boat and slowly drifting along feels wonderful. At the end, there's even a delicious zongzi to eat, which I think is fantastic 🫶🏻

Thanks to Coach Xiao Hei for the detailed guidance and impressive photography skills! We had a unique and worthwhile SUP experience. It was truly moving to watch the sunrise from the ocean on my birthday!

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!!!

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! 👍
