  • After spending a few days exploring the incredible city of Taipei we took a train along the east coast of Taiwan to Hualien County! The main aim of our visit - to experience the amazing Taroko National Park, see Taroko Gorge and hike the Shakadang Trail! We also visited the beautiful (but VERY windy) Qixingtan Beach. We decided to rent a scooter to get us around the national park and we're so glad we did!
    We also share our thoughts on travel to Hualien - is it worth it and how much does it cost to get around by scooter?
    Join us as we explore this beautiful place on two wheels!
    Thanks for watching!

    Hey everyone 👋
    Hualien really surprised us! Taroko National Park is incredibly beautiful, Qixingtan beach was stunning (even if it was extremely windy 😅) and we enjoyed exploring the town too.
    Hope you enjoy the video!

      You won't regret to try some 扁食 in Hualiang, it is delicious, it kind of like dumplings, but softer and soak in soup. A famous dish in Hualiang.

      Thanks guys! Hualien was so beautiful we wish we’d have stayed longer, and yeah the sea was crazy! Only we could visit the beach in the height of Taiwanese winter 🤣🤣 Driving was really good, the road are super smooth and quiet…there are obviously stricter traffic rules but thankfully there are also dedicated lanes for bikes, making it easier overall. The drive from Hualien to Taroko is fairly long but with those views you really don’t mind 😄

    Great footage! Thanks for sharing
    Apparently there’s a closed off trail in Taroko that leads down to a riverside hot spring pool! So there’s at least one place in the gorge where the water isn’t freezing
    I believe a rockfall destroyed part of it so it’s closed off, though I’ve heard people still go down to it. It seems a bit dangerous though!

    FYI the beaches on the east coast of Taiwan tend to be rocky while those of west coast and southern tip tend to be sandy. East coast beaches have choppy waves from the Pacific and pebblie/rocky surfaces, but the view against the backdrop of Central Mountain Range is singular snd stunning. For a topical Island style sand beach, Kenting is probably the most famous.

    Actually, the beach in Hualien is quite dangerous due to the unpredictable and large waves grabbing unsuspecting people into the ocean. Exercise caution and keep a safe distance from the water. There are more suitable beaches in Taiwan for swimming that are equipped with lifeguards and shark nets.

    • @jamieandhannah_
