Hualien, Taiwan



Hualien County has the largest area of all counties in Taiwan, located in the eastern coast of Taiwan. Hualien County faces the Pacific Ocean to the east, Central Mounain Range to the west bordering Taichung City, Nantou County and Kaosiung City, Yilan County to the north and Taitung county to the south. Hualien County is famous for beautiful scenery and has the great spots, such as the Taroko National Park, Mugua River Gorge and Yushan National Park. Its coastline is well suited for biking purposes. To see the beauitful scenery and enjoy Hualien, I recommend you to reserve one day taxi, ride a bike, or rent a car.

1. Xiangde Temple





Built into the mountainside on the opposite side of the river across the Pudu Bridge from Tianxiang Village in Taroko National Park, the Xiangde temple is a Buddhist temple from which visitors can enjoy a bird-eye view of Tianxiang and the surrounding area. Xiang Temple is known for having the world's highest-elevated statue of Ksitigarbha.


2. Taroko Gorge 





Named after the local Truku aboriginal tribe, Taroko National Park is one of Taiwan's beautiful scenery. It is created by the continual rising of the mountains combined with Liwu River. In about 60 kilometers the landscape rises from sea level to some of the tallest peaks in Taiwan at over 3400 meters.


3. Li Yu Lake






After the development of the lake into a scenic spot, the lake became the site of various recreational activities, such as light boat sailing, water sports, etc. It has a single lane bicycle path around 5km encircling the lake and footpaths for strolling along the shore. The Chinan National Forest Recreation Area and Mukumugi surrounding the lake displays the old logging trains. Every year in April, thousand of fireflies flash above the lake.
