A Coastal Journey in Hualien: From Qixingtan to the Azure Pacific
In Hualien, my favorite way to travel is to stay close to the coast, listening to the sound of the waves and feeling the sea breeze, embarking on a soothing blue stroll. On this trip, I started from the iconic Qixingtan and headed south, connecting three of Hualien's most enchanting coastal attractions.
At dawn, Qixingtan offers a stunning blend of sea and sky, with waves lapping against the pebble beach. It's a perfect spot for capturing the sunrise. Many people come here for a walk, and some quietly sit and paint the sea, creating a serene atmosphere that makes you lose track of time.
Next, I visited Beibin Park on the edge of the city. Known for its painted stone walls and spacious walkways, it also offers a view of Hualien Harbor. It's an ideal place for picnics and family strolls.
Finally, I arrived at Pacific Park, which boasts an even broader view. With its wooden boardwalks and ocean-view platforms, standing at a high vantage point and gazing at the vast Pacific Ocean made the entire journey worthwhile!
