Ch'ing-shui Cliff

4.8/51,094 Reviews
Beaches and shores
Open year round, 24/7
ariel423:“Qingshui Cliff is a cliff facing the Pacific Ocean on Qingshui Mountain, located in Hualien City. Qingshui Cliff looks magnificent and extremely steep, and below the cliff is the beautiful Pacific Ocean. It is recommended to overlook this wonder from the observation deck, as well as the Suhua Highway not far away, which is spectacular.”

Cave of Water Curtain
3.0
4.8/523 Reviews
Natural scenery
Open year round, 24/7
超级ctt:“Visit the reopened Water Curtain Cave. I highly recommend this scenic spot with a short distance and gentle slope. The one-way distance is 2.1 kilometers. The first 0.95 kilometers have a cement-paved friendly trail, which is convenient for wheelchairs. After 0.95 kilometers, although it is not a friendly trail, it is also gentle and easy to walk. There are 8 tunnels in the whole journey. If there are better lighting equipment, the latter part to the Water Curtain Cave and the White Poplar Waterfall is a short fork road, which is not far from each other and can be visited together. The water in the Water Curtain Cave is clear and cool, and it is a good place to cool off. The cave is completely dark and will get you soaked. You must have simple lighting equipment (if you are not afraid of your phone being splashed with water, the brightness of the phone is enough) and waterproof clothing. The Water Curtain Cave itself is not big, but it is a very interesting experience. The momentum of the White Poplar Waterfall and the boulders scattered in the stream are also very spectacular. It is highly recommended for the whole family to visit together.”
whaleworld Whale Watching Experience in Hualien
5.0
4.6/5130 Reviews
Opening hours: 06:00-17:00
Kimi_jm:“Whale watching is available in Yilan, Hualien, and Taitung. There are three whale watching companies in Hualien, Pacific, Whale World, and Doloman. Whale World is more commercial, while Doloman is a bit academic in nature and cooperates with the Kuroshio Ocean Cultural Foundation. There are many flights in summer, and there are actually flights in the non-peak seasons of autumn and winter.
Hualien is famous for whale watching because the seabed terrain off the coast of Hualien and Taitung drops sharply, and there are relatively deep seas. The Kuroshio current passes through the eastern waters of Taiwan, and there are abundant fish in the Kuroshio, which also attracts many whales and dolphins to appear for food. The Hualien-Taitung waters are the place where the most whales and dolphins are found in Taiwan. The most common ones are sperm whales, false killer whales, patterned dolphins, and spinner dolphins. From April to October every year, it is the courtship period for dolphins. During this period, they will jump out of the sea in large numbers to perform to find a good mate. Dolphins usually appear in groups. If you are lucky, you will see dozens or hundreds of dolphins jumping on the sea surface, or even riding the waves on the bow of the ship. Once dolphins are found, whale watching ships will slowly approach them. Wild dolphins are easier to see, generally with a 95% chance, but large whales are purely a matter of luck.
I have been there twice, and was lucky enough to see whales the second time, but I saw a lot of wild spinner dolphins both times.”
Qixingtan Scenic Area
4.3
4.7/51,629 Reviews
Beaches and shoresNight view
Open year round, 24/7
Tom Hung:“Qixingtan (Malongayangay in Sakilaya) was originally located east of present-day Hualien Airport. Its name stems from its north-south longitudinal shape, with an L-shaped mouth at the north end and a handle at the south end, roughly resembling the Big Dipper. Crescent Bay (Cikatingan) was where the original Qixingtan residents were relocated by the Japanese. Because they considered themselves Qixingtan natives and missed Qixingtan, they named their new home Qixingtan. Today, Qixingtan is an arc-shaped bay bordering the Pacific Ocean, paved with large and small gravels. Geologically, the beach is steeply sloping, prone to rogue waves, making it one of Taiwan's ten most dangerous waters.”
Dayuling
2.5
4.5/520 Reviews
Mountain climbing
Open year round, 24/7
老唐老爷:“At Dayuling, you can feel the beauty of tranquility surrounded by mountains, overlooking the thousand-foot-high Pingfeng Mountain, the highest peak of Taroko, Nanhu Mountain, Central Peak, Shimen, and the Liwu Valley, and your mind will be broadened. Every year during the snow season, many people go up the mountain to enjoy the snow. In autumn, about 15 minutes' drive towards Lishan, you will reach the stunning Red Maple Valley, where red maple leaves are everywhere, which is amazing.”
