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 5.0
The two instructors were fantastic today! They were very attentive, constantly reminding and instructing us on how to paddle and get on the board. They also kept a close eye on whether any of us were feeling unwell or tired, and they took so many beautiful photos for us! The whole trip was safe and comfortable. Thank you so much! I'd love to come again sometime. 🥹

Took my children to experience it, and we chose our favorite jade stones to polish, which was very meaningful and of commemorative value. This handmade DIY experience is really great, and it is also very suitable for parents and children to do together. I will definitely recommend it to everyone next time.

A very fun experience! The Chinese explanation during the market tour was very clear. I would suggest the cooking instructions be both in Chinese and English. After completing the meal, I felt a great sense of accomplishment. The wild vegetables were also very fresh and delicious. Overall, I highly recommend it!

Bring your kids here to experience the fun of catching clams and washing pants. The whole family had a lot of fun. The dishes in the restaurant are also delicious and big. The fried clams are a big plate, the grilled fish is big and the meat is sweet and delicious, and the poached chicken is also super delicious. I really recommend it~ I recommend it

Great 4.0
The instructors are very friendly, providing detailed explanations and patient one-on-one guidance. Completing the artwork is very rewarding. However, the packaging could be more careful. In addition to the plastic zip-lock bag, I recommend providing bubble wrap to prevent the glass beads from breaking upon impact.

We booked for two people, and told the coach on site that we wanted a boat for two people. The rental time is very flexible (but basically you will get tired after more than an hour 🤣). The scenery is very beautiful, and it is very nice to go around the lake. The rental coach is very nice and told us if there are any recommended delicious food. He is friendly to newbies. I recommend everyone to come~

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!

Very convenient! I bought it and used it right away. Because I was on an outlying island, I was not sure about the ferry schedule. I waited until I got on the train at 13:05 to book it, and I picked it up at 14:50. The store is 3-5 minutes away from the station. The store provides half-face helmets to choose from, and it is great to have a windshield! The car is in good condition, recommended!
