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.

Today we went to Fushoushan, Lishan, and Hehuanshan to enjoy the sunset. Thanks to Xiao Hao Moose for his careful driving throughout the trip and his excellent knowledge of the road conditions, allowing everyone to arrive safely and smoothly at their designated locations. The trip was safe, secure, and enjoyable.

If you are solo traveler grab this tour! if english tour is not available in the menu, choose mandarin tour and many foreigners are also joining or local that you can blend in. so perfect! so no need to worry if the speaker is taiwanese because he will tell you the time to come back in english. He will give you plenty of time for each location. No pressure at all. Also Hualien is so Amazing! the nature itself is incredible! You must visit! and I will come back again sometime.

It's really fun 🧨🧨 The ATV route is arranged reasonably, with flat areas, slopes, and waterways. The timing is also suitable to get used to the vehicle. The most recommended is the coach's professional posing guidance. Every photo is exquisite and unparalleled. It's really a group of photographers whose work has been delayed by coaching 🎊🎊 115-02-17

There's a free shuttle from Xincheng Station, and the ATV was a lot of fun and totally worth it. The instructor helped us take lots of beautiful photos, which was great.
Also, the photos taken at the Mirror of the Sky were beautiful and unique, making it a really fun experience.

There are actually many options, but I stumbled upon this one by chance~~ and then realized I picked the right one 🤣 They're amazing at taking photos and giving instructions, they'll definitely make sure you get all the shots you want! The ATV part was super fun too, the owner said we're pretty good at driving 😎 The main focus is on safety, and they even have a practice area for us to use first, to make sure we all know what we're doing before we set off, which is great 👍

easy to find the workshop as we toom a taxi. located in a quiet area. staff explained to us about the different types of Taiwanese jade and also comparing it to imported jades from Indonesia, South Africa etc. Each of us get to choose a jade design we like before doing own polishing. The staff was there whenever we needed help on our jade. my family is very satisfied with our own jades.
