The little-known four-eight highlands overlook the beautiful position of Hualien Qixingtan! 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. 48 highlands, is a small place that the local driver brought us. There is no sign here, but it will only be clear after walking straight along the path. As the name implies, here is the height of 48 meters above sea level, next to Qixingtan, standing on the high ground overlooking Qixingtan and the Pacific Ocean. The highland has not undergone too much construction and no fence. Although the scenery of the 48th Highlands is very beautiful, every time I find it, few tourists will set foot on this place, and this place will keep a quiet place without interference. When the weather is fine, the Pacific Ocean seen from the 48th highlands is a very deep blue. During the cloudy period, it is seen that the Pacific Ocean is different in appearance and style.

Qixingtan, also known as Crescent Bay, is the only county-level scenic area in Hualien County. The fault-formed strait and the beautiful curved bay are stunning, with crystal-clear blue waters. You can spend an entire day here enjoying the sea view, gazing at the lush green mountains in the distance, and stacking stones on the beach without ever getting bored! Nearby, the Mambo Marine Ecological Leisure Park is a hidden gem for sea views and sightseeing. It is surrounded by lush greenery and features a vast flower field for visitors to admire. You can also visit the wartime tunnels at the Forty-Eight Highland near Qixingtan. Once a military base, this site offers a glimpse into the atmosphere of war.
