This is an absolute must go Taiwan tour. UTravel Private Tour highly recommends to combine this tour with 2D/1N Alpine Adventure in Cingjing for the best awesome experience in the east coast of Taiwan.
The east coast of Taiwan is absolutely stunning. Nestled between the vast Pacific Ocean and the magnificent Eastern Ridge, the raw beauty of Hualien needs to be seen to be appreciated. The journey into Hualien is one of non-ending sweeping ocean blue vistas, mountains and lush green paddy fields. Peaceful Liyu Lake is a serene spot for boating, walking, cycling or simply having a picnic. Next proceed to Lichuan Fish Farm, the only place in Taiwan that produces Golden Clams, a species of freshwater clam. Pick your own fresh clams to be cooked in its restaurant serving other fresh seafood too or learn more about agriculture and research in its Golden Clam Museum. Round off your day with a delicious local dinner at ZiQiang Night Market serving heaps of authentic local specialties.
We don’t believe there’s another place quite like Taroko Gorge. The drive through Taroko National Park with its gorgeous peaks, scenic canyons, cascading waters and numerous walking trails, is simply divine. Be prepared to walk about to enjoy its beauty up close. Equally breath-taking is Seven Star Lake, a marbled pebble beach. It’s also a great photography spot. You can cylce, stroll or just watch the sun goes down while enjoying the sound of the waves and breeze along this divine beach.
