Things to do in Hualien

Although the weather wasn't great and it rained, seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom was incredibly beautiful and worth the ticket price. Thank you to the hardworking driver for safely getting us to our destination on the winding mountain roads.

Despite the closure of many walking trails on the Taroko Gorge, it’s still a sight to behold. The itinerary is well-planned and we had plenty of time to spend at each attraction. Our guide 林先生 is amazing and he shared a lot of interesting information throughout the ride. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is coming to Hualien

Very fun sightseeing activity, though sightings are more likely to be dolphins than whales. Transfers are highly recommended (if not mandatory) unless you’re driving, as the location isn’t very accessible. There’s a 15 to 30 minute educational briefing on commonly seen whale and dolphin species at their visitor area before being driven to the dock. The boat is clean and well-maintained. I strongly recommend queuing early once you reach the dock to access the boat’s second floor, which offers clearer views and is less crowded (limited to 10 people). Time spent at sea depends on conditions and may be around 1 hour or less, which is understandable. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to go out to sea this time due to the weather... but the staff was very dutiful in notifying us and processing the refund, and we received the refund quickly, so it's a very good platform.

First time visiting Farglory Ocean Park, and it's more worthwhile than expected! You can easily spend the whole day here 👍🏻. Besides the marine life exhibits, there are various shows and close-up interactions. I highly recommend seeing the mermaid show (not included in the ticket price, you need to buy a separate ticket, it's recommended to buy it at the entrance using the self-service machine, otherwise it might be sold out). The amusement facilities are also suitable for families, and the sea view from the cable car is basically a mini Busan 😂. The only downside is that some of the attractions and facilities might not be open due to insufficient crowds. But the staff are all super enthusiastic!

On weekdays, the farm doesn't have many visitors. The farm is indeed very large, and you can rent electric vehicles at the entrance. The animals in the cute animal area at the front are well taken care of, but in the more distant areas in the back, it feels like the animals are just left to roam without anyone taking care of them.
