- Introducing the attractions -
Located on Meilun Mountain, Songyuan Villa is the only remaining complete military building from the Japanese occupation period in Hualien County. It has a commanding geographical advantage with a good view. Not only can it monitor warships and ships on the Pacific Ocean in front of it, but it can also monitor the take-off and landing of aircraft from the nearby South Airport. In addition, the dense pine branches and leaves make this gray building even more secluded.
Ji'an Qingxiu Temple, originally named Yoshino Fukyo-sho of the Shingon sect, is the most complete surviving Japanese-style temple in Taiwan. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese established an immigrant village here, making it a religious center for immigrants and a place to soothe their homesickness. After renovation and reconstruction of the wooden buildings, it exudes a strong Edo style. The temple preserves precious artifacts such as Fudo Myoo, eighty-eight stone Buddhas, and the Hundred Stones, and also includes an exhibition and sales area, offering dining and yukata (light cotton robe) experiences, allowing visitors to truly experience the Zen-like atmosphere of Japanese culture.
Kabi Xiaoshang | Douzhai. Jianchashe was once the residence of the Hualien Chief Prosecutor during the Japanese occupation. After the historical site was renovated, the park now offers Japanese coffee, desserts and light meals. There are also two cute Shiba Inus running around. Sitting inside for afternoon tea is a pleasure. It is an old house coffee shop that you can't miss in Hualien.
The Lord of the Rings Sam's Cafe, a dreamlike building that looks like the elf village from Lord of the Rings or the dwarfs' house from Snow White, is actually a cafe. It's not just a place to drink and relax; it's also full of artistic flair, where you can see exhibitions and take beautiful photos. It's simply a favorite among artsy types and social media influencers!
A short walk north from Shek Tei Harbour leads to the Shek Mun Recreation Area. Smaller than Shek Tei Ping, Shek Mun is the perfect quiet spot for those seeking to avoid crowds and enjoy a peaceful sea view. The waves crashing against the sea cave resembling the car model "March," along with various other sea-eroded landscapes, create breathtaking scenes. Skillful photography, taking advantage of different times, angles, lighting, and tides, can produce uniquely cinematic visuals!
Necklace Coast Studio: A cup of fragrant coffee, a stunning swing overlooking the sea – when it comes to the hottest Instagrammable spots, you absolutely can't miss it – "Necklace Coast Studio" located on the Fengbin coast! Legend has it that an Amis warrior lost a necklace here during his campaign, causing the coastline to shine with a beautiful light day and night; Necklace Coast Studio was designed and created by the three siblings who run the studio, creating a crescent-shaped swing that gently sways against the beautiful scenery of the east coast.
The renowned "Sea Terraces" of Xinshe Terraces are indeed the Xinshe Terraces. Whether it's during rice planting, before harvest, or after fallow... in any month or season, you can experience the myriad charms of the Sea Terraces! The scene before harvest is the most beloved by most people. The rice ears are full and plump under the sun, swaying with the sea breeze. Walking along the ridges, looking at the distant coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean, you feel as if you have become one with the scene, reluctant to leave.
Shitiping Beach boasts a rich ecosystem and is ideal for intertidal observation, diving, and rock fishing. The expansive area offers ample opportunities to linger, with most visitors strolling along the shore to admire the unique rock formations. Climbing the 17-meter-high monolith provides panoramic views of Shitiping's geological landscape and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean.
On a clear day, the Shihmen Banshao Cape Recreation Area offers breathtaking views of the azure Pacific Ocean and the boundless seascape. A charming little lighthouse stands at the entrance, and descending the curved steps leads to the "Land of Energy" stone sculpture. Combined with the stunning ocean view, it's a perfect spot for taking beautiful photos.
