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.

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.

The instructors at the Xin Workshop are very friendly and carefully guide and assist with every step. They help with firing the glass, so you can use the equipment with peace of mind. Glass bead bracelets are a local indigenous craft, and the workshop also has various finished products on display. This immersive activity experience was great, and if you're traveling to Hualien, it can be included in your itinerary.

This was amazing! We highly recommend the moonlight treasure box making. Everyone was so friendly, helpful and inclusive. The tutor worked one-on-one with our group for the entire time. This session was extremely fun, enjoyable, easy and entertaining.

I had fun exploring Southern Taiwan with this 3 day pass. Very easy to use, it comes with a booklet that you'll get from the HSR counter. You can book your HSR in advance through the website, can even change your time of departure when you go to the counter. My accomodation is in Taipei and the day trips in Taichung and Tainan was just a breeze. HSR also provides free shuttle bus between HSR station to the main city, just research for the bus number. You have to go through the staff at the gates to pass through, they will inspect the booklet. I'll comeback to explore more of South Taiwan!

The car rental location is conveniently located just outside the front station exit, a short walk to the right. They also provide a waterproof phone holder and two raincoats. The vehicles are very new and in excellent condition. If you exceed the rental time, there's an additional charge of $50 per hour.

Our driver, Mr. Zhang Shiliang, was very responsible, introducing coastal attractions while driving. We visited a total of 6 attractions, and we could decide how long to stay at each one, making the itinerary very flexible.
My favorite attraction was the Dashibi Mountain Trail, which was really easy to walk.
Although it was drizzling, the rain had its own charm, but I was looking forward to seeing the blue ocean and sky even more!
We also went to a cafe on the edge of a cliff, which the driver recommended along the way. Enjoying afternoon tea while admiring the sea view was super chill♡

Longer duration train ride from Kaohsiung to Taipei on TRA theme train. Worth the time spent. Free drinks throughout - non alcoholic. Happy hour for unlimited beer. One meal provided. Onboard karaoke for passengers use. Theme merchandise, cutlery, cup, cup holders, napkins and wet tissues. So much more fun for the family and kids. Clean train cabin and better looking chairs. Comfortable 5 hours and 14 minutes ride just for the experience.
