A variety of jade stones will be provided on-site for you to choose from. The stones have already been pre-shaped in advance. Once you pick your favorite piece, an expert will guide you on how to polish it. There is no need to worry if it is your first time polishing, as you can take your time trying and learning throughout the process. After you finish your part, a professional will help make fine adjustments to make the final shape even more beautiful. Once polishing is complete, you will choose where to drill a hole, and the subsequent drilling and polishing will be assisted by a professional. While waiting for the polishing to finish, you can go ahead and pick out your preferred cord. There are two types and multiple colors available on-site: - 📿 Necklace cord: can be worn as a necklace - 🧿 Hanging cord: can be attached to a bag, phone, or elsewhere as a small charm. Once the polishing is done, the staff will call you over so you can hand them the cord you selected earlier for final assembly! The most fun part of the entire experience is getting to participate in polishing the jade yourself, rather than simply buying a finished product. In the end, receiving a piece of jade you helped create adds a special commemorative value.

I think glass cutting is great because there are so many fun, colorful glass options for us to make crafts. The owner is not only kind, but there are also many products for us to choose from. My mom bought a lot of glass bottles, jewelry boxes, and necklaces, and I think they're all wonderful! 🏅🏅🏅 If I can come again next time, I will definitely make more crafts. 😍😍😍😍😍😍

One-on-one attentive guidance; my son was a little afraid of the heat at first, but he carefully completed his own handmade piece and felt a great sense of achievement. We only found out about this glass bead DIY experience through the Klook platform. Truly 👍!

Being away from the train station brought a vacation vibe. I was honored to be upgraded to a sea-view room for my two-night stay, and I'm truly grateful 🙏. The spacious lobby immediately felt comfortable, and there's a reading room in the loft, offering a relaxing space. Entering the sea-view room was refreshing, and the wooden floors gave it a homey feel. There's also a game room on the 8th floor where kids can burn off energy. Breakfast was still plentiful, and being able to enjoy it after checking out added to the leisurely experience. The only minor drawback was the lack of bicycle rentals, but that doesn't detract from an otherwise excellent stay!

It's fantastic! Everything was great, except for the 23-minute walk from the train station. The swimming pool is an infinity pool, and there's also a steam room and sauna. The breakfast was delicious, and it's really thoughtful that it's available until 1:30 PM. Bicycles are also available for rent (though you can't shift to a heavier gear, so they're a bit hard to ride). The room was spacious, and the bathtub was large and very comfortable.
Breakfast: Delicious! Highly recommended! And it's available until 1:30 PM.
Service: Thoughtful, and you can still use the facilities after checking out.
Hotel Location: It's a bit of a walk from Xincheng Train Station.
Cleanliness: Superb, very clean!

Taking advantage of the rare National Day long weekend for a well-deserved vacation, we came to Farglory Ocean Park in Hualien and immediately booked this hotel. I had visited as a child, but all the memories had faded, so this was a great chance to relive them. The lobby is stunning, and upon entering the room, I felt so comfortable that I immediately knew it was worth it. I will definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity.

We went to Hualien during a typhoon, didn't go anywhere, and mostly stayed at the hotel. In the afternoon, there were all sorts of snacks, ice cream, coffee, and drinks. Dinner was incredibly crowded, but the hotel staff refilled the food very quickly, which was impressive. Breakfast was also very abundant. It's definitely worth visiting again.

What to know before visiting Hualien
Hualien at a glance for activities
Hualien is best known for outdoor adventures and relaxed sightseeing, led by Theme parks, Outdoor & sports activities and Tours as the top booking categories on Klook. The city's demand rises and falls through the year: spring sees the strongest interest while late winter is quietest, according to Klook booking data. If you favour nature and activity days, choose months with more visitors for fuller services; if you prefer calmer time outdoors, aim for the quieter months. Decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or quieter flexibility. Based on Klook booking data.
When to visit Hualien this year
April and May are the busiest months for Hualien, with demand about 28% above a typical month, while February is the quietest, roughly 40% below a typical month, per Klook booking data. Prices move separately: highs occur in January when typical prices reach MYR 414, and the lowest typical price was MYR 97 in March. That means some busy months still offer moderate prices, and the most expensive month is not the same as the busiest. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider March or February; for lively spring atmosphere, aim for April–May.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | MYR 414 |
| February | Very quiet | MYR 109 |
| March | Quieter than usual | MYR 97 |
| April | Busier than usual | MYR 109 |
| May | Busier than usual | MYR 158 |
| June | Busier than usual | MYR 101 |
| July | About average | MYR 105 |
| August | Quieter than usual | MYR 114 |
| September | About average | MYR 191 |
| October | Busier than usual | MYR 182 |
| November | Busier than usual | MYR 118 |
| December | Quieter than usual | MYR 105 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay in Hualien by price
Hotel prices in Hualien vary a lot. The most affordable district is Yuli, with a typical nightly rate around MYR 178, while the priciest is Xiulin, typically about MYR 1,395 per night, based on Klook booking data. That's a gap of roughly 87% between the two. Cheaper districts tend to suit travellers prioritising budget and flexibility, or those who plan activity-focused days rather than hotel time; pricier districts suit travellers wanting a higher-end stay and more in-hotel comfort. These figures come from Klook booking data and show typical nightly rates.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most travellers from Malaysia book relatively close to travel dates, typically about 2 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 11 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can often stay flexible and secure many experiences a day or two before departure, though booking earlier helps in the busiest months (April and May). Use Klook to lock in activities once your dates are fixed, especially for outdoor experiences and popular tours—booking earlier gives more choice without losing flexibility. Based on Klook booking data.
