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 experience. The weather was great and I had a great time seeing the dolphins twice. The guide is in the local language, but foreigners can go and see it without any problems. I definitely recommend visiting when you visit Hualien~

We went river tracing at Sapadang River during our trip to Hualien. The stream water was clear and cool. Led by the coach, we moved along the stream valley, climbing rocks and diving. Every step was full of challenges and fun. The moment we jumped into the deep pool was the most unforgettable, both exciting and refreshing.
The scenery along the way was beautiful, with mountains and streams interwoven, allowing people to relax completely. This trip not only brought us closer to nature but also enhanced the understanding between companions. It is really worth experiencing.

The activity guide was very friendly. He first introduced the traditional culture of the Amis people, then made bamboo rice, and then helped us change into traditional costumes and gave us time to take photos. Later, we experienced archery, which was fun! Then he introduced the traps for capturing prey in the mountains, experienced fishing nets, gathered together to grill small pieces of meat, tried millet wine, and then ate the bamboo rice we made ourselves. It had a light bamboo flavor and was not bad. Because the activity was moved to a new venue, the facilities were not yet very complete, but it did not affect our experience. If there is a chance, I would like to go again😍

The ATV ride was super fun and exciting! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire experience. We didn’t have to wait long, which was a big plus. After the ride, we were offered cold water and refreshing lemon juice — such a thoughtful touch! The shower facilities were also very clean and convenient.
And let me tell you — the photography skills are incredible! Ohh, the pictures came out so beautiful! They really captured the adventure perfectly. I highly recommend trying the ATV if you're ever in Hualien — it’s an unforgettable experience!

A truly unique experience! The instructors are great at guiding and taking photos! I thought it would be difficult to handle and dangerous, but it wasn't at all. Thanks to the instructors, I got the hang of it quickly! The ATV tour takes you on land and in shallow water, and they also record videos and take photos! I thought it was awesome! I would recommend friends to try it if they have the chance!

The only thing is the open space for playing is a bit tiny and being covered by all the buildings. Dz

Facilities: The boat is new, with ample seating space inside and out.
Safety: Plenty of life jackets are available.
Location: The meeting point is clear, but parking spaces may be limited when crowded.
Experience: We were lucky enough to see dolphins jumping on the surface this time! Hopefully, we'll have a chance to see whales next time!

Took my two middle school kids during summer vacation to swing through the trees and walk on ropes. Overall, it was a great experience 👍. The kids all said they didn't get enough and want to come back. You should still wear long pants and long sleeves to participate in this activity to avoid mosquito bites.
