－ Attraction Introduction －
- Xincheng Old Street (Xincheng Photo Studio, Xincheng Catholic Church, Jiaxing Ice Shop, Etude Coffee - a bookstore that does not sell books)
Xincheng Old Street refers to Bo'ai Road in Xincheng Village. Following the passing of its golden era and the diversion of the Suhua Highway (Provincial Highway 9), it became quiet and sparsely populated. However, the century-old wooden building 'Xincheng Photo Studio', which has been in business for over 60 years, helped revitalize local tourism after becoming a filming location for the famous movie 'Eternal Summer'. Adjacent to it, 'Jiaxing Ice Shop' is famous for its original lemon juice. Additionally, the nearby 'Xincheng Catholic Church' has become a viral photo spot due to its unique ship-shaped architecture coexisting with a Japanese shrine. 'Etude Coffee' is a bookstore opened by Coach Hu of the Xincheng Elementary School baseball team to provide a reading space for the children. The books here are not for sale and are only for borrowing; visitors can register in a notebook if they wish to borrow one. If you want to sit down for a drink, there is also a selection of coffees and teas available. - Qixingtan Scenic Area
Also known as Crescent Bay, Qixingtan is a deep blue pebble beach. The end of the bay rests against the Central Mountain Range, a breathtaking encounter between mountains and sea that captivates many. Beyond the mesmerizing bay, the water is crystal clear, revealing the pebbles beneath the waves. Thanks to its unique natural geography, along with simple walking trails, seaside pavilions, observation decks, and stargazing plazas, visitors can fully immerse themselves in the blue sea and sky. - Pine Garden
Located on Meilun Mountain, Pine Garden is the best-preserved military building from the Japanese colonial period in Hualien County. With its high-altitude vantage point, it offers an excellent view, allowing for the monitoring of warships in the Pacific Ocean and the takeoff and landing of aircraft at the former nearby South Airfield. The dense pine trees surrounding the area add to the sense of seclusion for this grey building. The four buildings within the Pine Garden complex include: the main building (now the primary exhibition space), Pine Garden Restaurant, Pine Garden Concept Workshop, and the log cabin. - Xincheng Seawall (Stairway to Heaven)
Xincheng Seawall is located next to Xincheng Township. Walking up to the pavilion at the turn, you can see the vast blue of the east coast, complemented by the blue sky and white clouds. There are stone chairs on the seawall where you can sunbathe, enjoy the breeze, and spend a relaxing time. The 'Stairway to Heaven' next to the seawall has become a popular photo spot. - Shan-Du Space
The super popular Hualien photo spot 'Shan-Du Space' not only offers a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean but also features a dreamy transparent crystal ball swing. You can use the mountains and sea of Hualien as your backdrop and have a professional photographer help you take miraculous photos comparable to a 'mirror of the sky'! Shan-Du Space is very generous, allowing you to use your admission ticket to offset consumption in the park. The shop also invites live singers to perform on weekends and national holidays, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery while immersing yourself in music for a super relaxing Hualien vacation.
