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.

What to know before visiting Hualien
Quick snapshot of Hualien County
Hualien County draws most bookings for theme parks, outdoor and sports activities, and tours, with water activities and zoos also popular. Demand has clear seasonal peaks and troughs across the year, so the rhythm of visits is easy to predict from Klook booking patterns.
Best times to visit and how prices move
According to Klook booking data, the busiest months are April and May while demand falls to its lowest in February. Prices vary through the year: they climb to their highest in January and drop to a low in March, with mid-year levels generally moderate. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for March or February; if you want the liveliest, peak-season atmosphere, travel in April–May. Note that demand and price don’t always move together here: the busiest spring months are not the priciest, so you can still catch high-demand months without the absolute top prices.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most visitors typically finalise plans a couple of days before travel, with some booking earlier up to around 11 days out, so you can be flexible when arranging a short Hualien trip. For peak months (April–May) consider locking in reservations earlier to secure specific activities; for off-peak travel a few days’ notice often works. Use Klook to compare available activities and times as you plan—booking on the platform makes it easy to grab choices that suit your schedule.
