This time, we purchased a one-day pass for the Yuchang-Fengbin Line and hopped on a sightseeing bus to explore various attractions along the Fengbin coastline. One of the highlights was "Shitiping," a site known for its unique geological formations. The scenery here is truly unlike anything I've ever seen before. The white rocks, shaped by various internal and external natural forces, have developed into one-of-a-kind textures and forms. Standing tall by the azure coastline, they resemble exquisite works of art. Watching the waves crash against the rocks, creating swirling sprays, and listening to the sound of the wind and waves hitting the stones brings a sense of tranquility to the soul. Perhaps after spending so much time in the city, we all need a place like this to slow down, cleanse our minds and bodies, and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Taiwan's stunning east coast. 🌊

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Hualien #Shitiping #Hualien Attractions Recommended #HualienFengbin The unique geological topography of Shitiping is named after the multi-layered stepped uplifted rock sea steps, which are covered with potholes and coral reefs. Along the stone trail, you can observe the sea erosion trenches, sea erosion cliffs, sea erosion platforms, and raised coral reefs.

There are free experiences exclusively for guests in the hotel: hand-brewed coffee, pizza making, red and white wine, campfire roasted marshmallows. You can also borrow a bicycle to ride around and enjoy the countryside. There is no light pollution at night and you can see the stars. There are many activities, so it's not boring at all ✅Both Chinese and Western breakfasts are delicious. If you don't want to go out at night, it's also great to have dinner in the hotel. It is a manor that is managed very carefully. ✅The room is spacious and Japanese style, with a private bath and a hair dryer. Free instant noodles, snacks and drinks are also provided. There are also essential oil scented candles in the room, the smell is very comfortable

✅ Rich Facilities: The outdoor hot spring pool is very comfortable, the rock bath, the water guns in the outdoor play pool make kids go crazy, and the drift cars are fun for adults too. In the evening, there is a pseudo-European market selling local agricultural products. Basically, you can spend a whole day just enjoying these facilities after checking in. ✅ The buffet for breakfast and dinner is abundant, and the dishes are constantly replenished. It's rare to see empty plates. ✅ Great service, you can call for a shuttle bus at any time, making it suitable for trips with elderly and young children. ✅ Spacious rooms with good soundproofing. You can enjoy a hot spring bath in the room, and the bath is deep enough, though the water temperature is not hot enough. The drinks in the fridge are free, and there is also a capsule coffee machine available.

As a hot spring enthusiast, I stayed one night at Ruisui Hot Springs. ✅ The balcony has a hot spring pool, which is quite large. It can comfortably accommodate two people without feeling crowded. The well-ventilated environment makes the hot spring experience very comfortable. You can also hear the sounds of insects and birds while soaking, which is very relaxing. ✅ The bed is moderately firm, with a warm color scheme and wooden furniture. The cleverly designed windows allow you to see the greenery outside, and the sunlight streaming into the room gives a warm feeling. The fridge also has free milk and soda. ✅ Warm service. Knowing that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, the B&B even gave us a bottle of red wine, which was very thoughtful. ✅ The breakfast ingredients are healthy and plentiful.

This time's stay review: Overall experience was good, the outdoor garden and public areas are well-maintained. However, the rooms show signs of aging, but it doesn't overshadow the overall experience. ✅ Exotic Atmosphere: The European architecture and the interspersed artificial canals make you feel like you're in Italy. I especially love the plants and trees here, which blend perfectly with the buildings. I saw several walls with beautiful plants, which must be well taken care of to grow so well. ✅ Spacious Rooms: The balcony offers views of the park's landscaping and canals, but since it's an older hotel, there's a bit of a musty smell, and there were ants on the bed. 😟 ✅ Rich Activities: Guests can enjoy a free boat ride once, while other activities like archery, bamboo rafting, and a small train ride require additional fees. ✅ Dinner: We dined at the on-site restaurant, the Taiwanese dishes we ordered were to our taste and reasonably priced.

Walking while listening to the sound of gurgling water is extra relaxing. Overall, the park is well maintained and has different beauty in each season. The 120 yuan ticket price can also be used to offset food and beverage expenses, making it a great weekend outing!

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Hualien After checking out of the Silks Place Taroko Hotel, I decided to visit Xiangde Temple. This temple is also a landmark of Taroko, but cars are not allowed to enter. Therefore, there is still a quiet place isolated from the world. Walk across the suspension bridge and climb the stairs to see the 36-foot-tall Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It is said to be the tallest Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the world. Climb up the Tianfeng Pagoda and you can overlook the entire Taroko. The circular staircase inside the tower is very artistic and beautiful for taking photos!

Isozaki Beach is located along Highway 11 in Fengbin Township, Hualien. It is one of the rare sandy beaches on the east coast, stretching for 3 kilometers. The beach presents different appearances depending on the season: in summer, the golden sands extend during low tide, while in winter, the rising tide turns the beach black due to the upwelling of underwater sand and stones, creating a unique landscape. In the past, the Amis people called this place 'Jialulan,' and it was used as a natural salt field. It is now a settlement for the Sakizaya tribe, who hold a festival every March that combines mountain and sea deities. The natural bay here was formed by the differential erosion of volcanic breccia and sandstone shale, creating a rich ecosystem. Visitors can observe coastal plants such as pandanus and yellow hibiscus, as well as marine life like lobsters and surgeonfish. The nearby 'Dashibi Mountain Trail' is about 910 meters long, with scenic pavilions along the way. From the summit, one can overlook the Pacific Ocean and the stunning mountain and sea views of Isozaki Bay, making it a top choice for family eco-hiking. Note that in recent years, typhoons and ocean currents have caused significant sand drift, exposing rock formations and pebbles in some areas, making it unsuitable for swimming. It is recommended to engage in floating water activities instead. Currently, some facilities are temporarily closed due to post-disaster reconstruction, so it is advisable to check the latest announcements before visiting.
