Hualien, do you think there's nowhere to go after the earthquake? Qixingtan is definitely a great spot you must visit in your lifetime. Whether the weather is sunny or cloudy, just sit quietly by the seaside and close your eyes. You can hear the sound of the waves crashing. Listen quietly and let the sound of the waves and the wind wash away your unhappiness of the day or even the whole year. Escaping the hustle and bustle is as simple and pure as this in Hualien.

The landmark of Hualien, Qixingtan, is a must-visit to witness the breathtaking beauty of the sea! The name Qixingtan comes from a legend that there were once seven star-shaped ponds here! The most distinctive feature of this place is its long pebble beach. These smooth stones create unique sounds when washed by the waves, and many tourists stack these stones for photos. When visiting Hualien, I highly recommend renting an electric scooter. You don't even need a driver's license to rent one! The shop where I rented my scooter is no longer in business, but there are still many places in Hualien where you can rent an electric scooter. These electric scooters are different from electric bicycles. The one I rented in Hualien looked just like a motorcycle. The reason you don't need a license for these scooters is that their top speed is only 40 km/hr. Plus, they are lightweight and easy to control. As long as you can ride a bicycle, you should have no problem. The only difference is the speed, but you can freely go wherever you want, which is super convenient. 📍Qixingtan

I haven't been here for almost three years. The road leading in has been overgrown with grass and turned into a forest two people tall. 🌳🌲 The small rooftop that used to be crowded with people and could overlook the sea from above🏕️ is now submerged in the grass🏖️. There are no longer the noisy and crowded tourists.

Qixingtan Beach, Hualien - Taiwan: A beautiful beach with nice rocks indeed. This city is quite far away from Taipei which I went there by train to Hualien and then rent a car with driver to this beach and somewherelse.

At the edge of Hualien Qixingtan, I received a blessing from the sea! When you arrive at Huaxing Qixingtan, there are many people who have a question. Where is the tan? Hualien Qixingtan, not a lake, is a beautiful bay. The beach here is not a common yellow sand beach, but a cyan pebbles. These pebbles are round and transparent under the rush of the waves, making Qixingtan the best place for surfers in the suburbs of Hualien. Find seven different types of stone barriers at the seaside to become the common "Mani pile" style in Tibetan areas. But the difference is that the Mani heap is engraved with scriptures, patterns, etc. The stones here are washed away by the Pacific Ocean water, and it is a blessing from the sea. Although the pebbles are beautiful, Taiwan is not required to take away the stones and other items on the island. The purpose is also to protect the environment. It has been reported on the Internet that mainland tourists were stopped at Taoyuan Airport with five kilograms of pebbles. . For the sake of environmental protection, let the beauty stay in our minds and cameras for the sustainable development of Qixingtan. The sea and the Kenting of Qixingtan are completely seas of two meanings. Compared with the softness and softness of Kenting, Qixingtan is more primitive and rough. The waves kept slap on the beach, igniting the white waves, and then retreated in the sound of "".

Qixingtan, also known as Crescent Bay, is known as the Tan, but it is a curved bay paved with large and small gravel. The history of Qixingtan can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty's "Taiwanese map and the general map of Taiwan's Houshan", there are several low-lying wetlands in Hualien. These wetland lakes of various sizes are Qixingtan. Another way of saying it is that when the weather is good at night, because there is no light damage, you can clearly see the Big Dipper on the sky at the seaside, so the locals call it Qixingtan. There are bicycle lanes in the Qixingtan Scenic Area. You can use the bicycle to ride in the Nanbin Park, Stone Carving Park, Star Plaza, and Guanri Building. Therefore, the best way to play Qixingtan is to rent a bicycle. There are many layers of water, light blue, dark blue, green, light, white, and the different colors of the waves are intertwined, making you feel so beautiful, and you can't help but open up.

Qixingtan looks like a dark beach, and it is very similar to the black sand beaches of Greece, but it must be seen down. There are many beautiful beaches, so it is very rare! The whole beach, the bottom should be soft black sand, the upper layer is crystal clear pebbles of different sizes and washed by sea water. The waves are big, but when the waves come, the parts of the fault are as clear and elastic as the jelly. Therefore, the waves of Qixingtan are also known as jelly. And because there is no sediment in the offshore, the tide is as white as a bubble, and it is fleeting. The waves were big, the tide rushed to me, I screamed and cheered to escape, but the skirt was still wet. Although the whole beach is composed of pebbles, it will not hurt like the cobblestones on the fitness road. The black sand at the bottom has a cushioning effect, and the smooth touch is very comfortable. The sun is coming out. I am lying on the beach far away. My skirt and clothes.

New Year's Day, push the seven-star pool in Taiwan Province! Looking at the sea at the seaside, full of happiness. Qixingtan is located in Beipu Village, Xincheng Township, Hualien County. On the east side of Hualien Airport, Qixingtan is a bay that protrudes from the side of Meilun Nose. Qixingtan was once the most prosperous place for Hualien to develop fixed fisheries.
