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.

What to know before visiting Hualien
Quick Hualien County snapshot and what to expect
Hualien County is a nature-focused destination where theme parks, outdoor and sports activities, and tours dominate bookings, with water activities and zoos rounding out popular choices. Demand rises and falls through the year, with distinct busy months that bring a livelier atmosphere and quieter periods better suited to relaxed exploration.
Best times to visit and how prices move
Klook booking data shows the busiest months are July and October, while April typically has the lowest demand. Prices generally dip through late summer and early autumn — August is typically the cheapest month on Klook and January is the priciest — so budget-minded travellers will find lower prices and smaller crowds outside the peak months. If you want peak-season atmosphere and the fullest activity programme, plan for July or October; if you prefer lower costs and fewer people, aim for August or the quieter months like April.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers from Australia book fairly close to travel: typical bookings happen only a couple of days ahead, though some people lock in plans earlier. If your dates fall in July or October, consider booking sooner rather than later to secure popular outdoor activities; for lower-cost, more flexible trips, look at dates in August or April and you can often book at short notice on Klook.
