Ocean Adventure: Farglory Ocean Park and Taipei's Nature and Culture Tour

Day 1: For this dual-city trip to Taipei and Hualien, I specifically planned a day at Farglory Ocean Park in Hualien to experience the wonders of the ocean and the pure natural scenery. Early in the morning, I took a train from Taipei, traveling along the east coast with the Pacific Ocean's view outside the window, which was incredibly refreshing. The short three-hour journey was thoroughly relaxing. Upon arriving in Hualien, I headed straight to Farglory Ocean Park. This theme park, nestled between the mountains and the sea, combines marine ecology, entertainment facilities, and spectacular animal shows. One of the must-see highlights is the dolphin theater, where the intelligent dolphins and their trainers perform seamlessly, earning continuous applause from the audience. I was deeply captivated by the agility and charm of these marine creatures. In the park, I also rode the ocean Ferris wheel, overlooking the entire Hualien coastline and the distant mountains, with breathtaking views. The park's themed amusement facilities, such as the water slide and carousel, also brought a lot of joy, filling the trip with childlike wonder and surprises. For lunch, I chose to dine at the park's seaside restaurant, savoring fresh local seafood and special snacks, especially the commonly seen mackerel dishes in Hualien, which were tender and juicy, leaving a lasting impression. In the evening, I took a final stroll through the park, which appeared particularly romantic under the sunset. After a day of fun, I returned to Hualien city, tasting the famous local mochi and peeled chili peppers, marking a perfect end to the day. Day 2: Back in Taipei, I planned a leisurely cultural exploration day. Early in the morning, I visited the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, an artistic space that combines history and creativity. I toured the ongoing illustration exhibition and bought a few handmade items at the creative market as souvenirs. At noon, I headed to Taipei 101, where I admired the grandeur of this Taipei landmark, overlooked the city's scenery from the observation deck, and enjoyed exquisite international cuisine at the rooftop restaurant. In the afternoon, I went to the Beitou Hot Spring Museum, where I learned about the development history of Beitou hot springs in this Japanese-style building and enjoyed a hot spring foot bath, adding a touch of relaxation to the trip. In the evening, I ended the itinerary at Raohe Night Market, tasting authentic Taiwanese snacks such as pepper buns, oyster omelets, and taro balls, with the lively atmosphere leaving a lasting impression. From the natural wonders of Farglory Ocean Park to the cultural depth of Taipei, this trip perfectly combined adventure and relaxation, giving me a deeper appreciation of Taiwan's diverse charm.
