M2c***gsLocated in Xincheng Township, Hualien County, Taiwan Province, China, the Qingshui Cliff is a series of cliffs formed by the Qingshui Mountain range and the surrounding sea. Stretching for 21 kilometers, the cliffs, composed primarily of gneiss and marble, plunge almost vertically into the Pacific Ocean, reaching a height of over 800 meters. This majestic cliff is considered the second largest in the world and is listed as one of Taiwan's Eight Wonders.

Kimi_jmWhale 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.

_We***29Today, I came to Qingdao Ocean Park with my family and had a great time. The children had a great time, and the parents were also very happy. There were many kinds of animals and wonderful performances. The walrus and sea lion performances at the horizon and the whale and dolphin show at the polar pavilion were also very good. The transportation was also very enthusiastic and the service was recommended.
