Qixingtan, Hualien: A Romantic Encounter with the Ocean
Qixingtan is a must-see destination in Hualien! This visit to Qixingtan completely redefined my understanding of coastal beauty, and I had to share it with everyone.
🌊Unparalleled Ocean View: Upon arriving at Qixingtan, the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean immediately captivated my eyes. The water's distinct hues shifted from light blue near the shore to deep blue in the distance, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. Strolling along the shoreline, the gentle sea breeze caressed my face, bringing with it the unique salty, moist air of the ocean. It was truly relaxing. Every time the waves crashed against the pebbles on the shore, the sound echoed with a melodious, crisp sound, as if the ocean were playing a beautiful melody. This soothing sound instantly melted away all my worries.
💎Unique Landforms: Qixingtan Beach is unlike other beaches. It's covered in smooth, round pebbles of all sizes, each in a variety of shapes and colors. They shimmer enchantingly in the sunlight, like precious gems. Carefully search along the shoreline, and you might even find a uniquely shaped stone to keep as a souvenir. These pebbles are not only a unique feature of Qixingtan Beach, but also a gift from nature, adding a unique charm to this area.
🌅Stunning Sunsets: In the evening, witnessing a sunset at Qixingtan Beach is a must. The sky is painted orange-red as the sun slowly descends below the horizon, casting its afterglow across the water, bathing the entire world in a warm golden glow. The scene is truly breathtaking, and any photo you take will be a masterpiece. Standing by the beach, gazing at the stunning scenery before you, you'll be filled with awe and admiration for nature.
🌟Qixingtan Beach is truly a place where you can truly relax and unwind. Whether you're gazing at the sea, collecting rocks, or admiring the sunset, you'll find joy and profound emotions. If you yearn for the ocean and that pure blue, don't miss Hualien's Qixingtan! I highly recommend checking it out and experiencing its unique charm!
#Qixingtan #HualienTravel #Seaview #TravelCheckIn
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.

Nice view of the ocean and natural geo sculptures. It’s great place to visit for the nature lovers!
This is my second visit. Besides being a great spot for photos and check-ins, it also offers a unique view of nature. It can be quite chilly, so remember to wear a windbreaker. Definitely worth a visit!

it was a trip to Taiwan with friends and we visited Lihpao Resort. It was very fun and interesting experience. we really enjoyed a lot!
The park is fun and has a lot of facilities. It is suitable for family outings, with rides for children and facilities for adults. The carousel is cute, the roller coaster is exciting, and the restaurant's food is good. I recommend it to everyone.

🍎Taichung Gaomei Wetland. There are many mangroves and wetlands along the coast of Taiwan. The Gaomei Wetland is extremely beautiful. There are fiddler crabs, mudskippers, and water birds living in the wetland.
🍎The Gaomei Wetland is very windy. When the university motorcycle circled the island, it was almost blown away by the wind. The wind blew through the wrinkles on the water, flashing the light of the sunset. Bring the children to play in the water, and the class smell will disappear quickly.
This was a very pretty area for sunset. Although it is slightly far away from the city centre, it is reachable by a direct bus.

Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf
Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf is located in Tamsui District, New Taipei City. It was originally a fishing port, but now it has become a tourist wharf. The wooden boardwalk and the White Lover's Bridge are iconic attractions. There are bicycle paths around to ride to the mangroves, or you can go to Tamsui Old Street to eat A Ge and fish ball soup. The chewiness of the grandma's iron egg is very special. There are more people on weekends, but you can find a quiet corner by walking deeper along the wooden boardwalk. There are also snacks and drinks at the Embankment Cafe and Fisherman's Square on the pier, which is suitable for sitting down and enjoying the breeze.
This was the perfect spot for a sunset. Stunning with the ocean. There are many people singing and performing as well as a lot of shops. Making it a wonderful experience. Would definitly recommend. We took the MTR and it was very easy to get around.

Baisha Bay Beach
It is more convenient to drive or charter a car to visit the North Coast.
The attractions are not far from each other.
For reference, take the bus:
Take the Tamsui bus from Tamsui to Jinshan;
Or take the Taiwan Bus Zhongxing to Keelung, and get off at Baisha Bay Station.
Baisha Bay is a bay between the two capes of Linshanbi and Fuguijiao.
The beach is wide, with coarse, round and white sand. The beach stretches for one kilometer.
It is famous for its white sand and clear water.
In addition to swimming, sailing and other water activities are also available on holidays.
Baishawan is a bathing beach, which is formed by shells. The sand is white, crystal and even. Therefore, it is called Baishawan here. Baishawan is the shooting site of the fantastic drifting of the Junior School. The sea water seen here is layers of color, very beautiful.

Today, 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.
It is an ocean park that is very suitable for children of all ages. The amusement park has a variety of amusement facilities suitable for children of all ages. From carousels, pirate ships, bumper boats, roller coasters, Ferris wheels, etc., you can play them all with one ticket. in the end. Especially if you take the cable car up and down the mountain, you can look at the incomparable sea view in front of you from a high place.
There are also many performances, including seal shows, theater performances, feeding shows, etc. You can play from early in the morning to the whole day, and there are also many resting places, so it is unlikely that you will not be able to find a seat to rest.
The fountain in the middle is the favorite of children, where they can play in the water to cool off, so parents must remember to bring clothes to change!
When you get tired of playing, there is also a static aquarium where you can visit and see various marine life, so that parents and children can have wonderful memories. This is the biggest benefit of the amusement park.
