- Trip Overview -
- Liyutan Scenic Area
Located in Shoufeng, Hualien, Liyutan is the largest inland lake in the Hualien area. Its charming lake and mountain scenery make it a serene sanctuary known to both locals and tourists. April and May are the best times to visit Liyutan for firefly watching, - Yun Shan Shui Dream Lake
A leisure farm perfect for family outings and strolls. Gazing at the tranquil, four-hectare 'Dream Lake', the water is crystal clear, allowing you to see a wide variety of fish. Naturally, it attracts many migratory birds and avian species that feed on small fish to forage and settle here. It is the perfect destination for travelers looking for an ecological tour! The farm is planted with a wide variety of palm trees, seasonal flowering plants, and broad-leaved forests, offering different beautiful scenery throughout the four seasons. As the seasons change, the trees here display different colors, attracting a constant stream of photography enthusiasts who come to take pictures and leave with stunning photos! - Mr. Sam Cafe
Mr. Sam Cafe features architecture full of fairy-tale vibes, with interiors decorated with antique furniture and ornaments, serving coffee, ice cream, and snacks. Known for its fantasy-style reputation as the 'Taiwan version of Howl's Moving Castle' and 'Lord of the Rings Shire', it has been a popular photo spot in Hualien for many years. - Starbucks Container Store
Located on the coast of the northeast corner of Xincheng Township, Qixingtan is not only famous for its mesmerizing crescent-shaped bay, but also for its clean, azure waters where pebbles are clearly visible amidst the waves. Originally a quiet little fishing village, its unique natural geographical environment, combined with simple scenic trails, seaside pavilions, the Moon and Sun Viewing Tower, and the Stargazing Plaza, allows visitors to fully immerse themselves in the blue sea and sky. The beach, free from light pollution at night, is the best choice for stargazing, moon watching, or simply listening to the song of the pebbles and the waves.
