deeper_blue Says: The train line that runs the length of the east coast is not as quick as the west coast train but certainly more picturesque. From Hualian you can visit Taroko Gorge by getting off at Sincheng station, 20 mins to the north.
THLIN Says: It is not really a correct place if you expect something extravagant; it's a place selling delicious mash sticky rice, which is a popular snacker in East Asia. Somehow, they make it like a tourist shop for tourists. We local called it Moa-gi, it's made of sticky rice...
agc Says: I had my first earthquake experience in Hualien. It was freaking scary!! When you sense an Earthquake, get out of your hotel and out to the streets. You might look funny but when the building comes crashing down, look who's laughing. Also, when you're in Taroka National...

Cisingtan Scenic Area and Beach

THLIN Says: This shirne is here to memorize those who pass away when they built the East-West Cross-Island highway. The shrine itself has been re-built three times due to mudflows and landslides. Even until now, the Admin of National Park still strongly recommend tourists not walking...
THLIN Says: Just like most of rafting, fun, exciting and risky. Visitors has to go with a group. Life guard are around us. Sometimes they may play tricks on us splitting water on us. Strongly recommand you take cheap foot wear. You can buy many places in the town.
