Yesterday morning, my 14-year-old niece and I attended a jade polishing course in Hualien, a truly precious and unforgettable experience. We started by polishing raw jade stones, slowly creating our own jade necklaces. The moment the piece was finished, I felt an indescribable sense of emotion—it wasn't just a necklace, but a warm, story-filled keepsake. The staff were incredibly kind and patient with the children, carefully guiding them step-by-step, allowing even first-time jade polishers to experience the process with peace of mind and a sense of accomplishment. Seeing my niece's focused and bright eyes, I knew this trip was definitely worthwhile. Hualien was one of the world's largest jade-producing regions in the 1960s and 70s, nurturing an important jade culture in Taiwan. Although the industry has transformed, these jade workshops continue to invest in tourism and cultural education, allowing the next generation to learn about this history and the story of this land through their own hands. Besides allowing children to experience local culture, they have made invaluable efforts to preserve Taiwan's jade culture, a truly commendable contribution. If you're visiting Hualien with your children, I highly recommend arranging a course like this. This is more than just DIY; it's a profound experience that combines history, culture, and emotion. Highly recommended (five stars)!
Chasing Wind Fantasy Island Zhongli Branch is a great place to bring kids to burn off energy! The space is spacious, with diverse facilities, including a ball pit, climbing area, and slides, all well-maintained. Kids won't want to leave once they're in. The staff are friendly and attentive to safety, giving parents peace of mind. It gets a bit crowded on weekends, but the flow of people is generally smooth. There's a shopping mall right next door, making it convenient for dining and resting, a great choice for taking kids out on rainy or hot days.
The guide was kind and attentive, and I'm very grateful for that. He drove carefully and explained the sightseeing, so I was very satisfied and impressed by his professional work. I would definitely use his services again.
