#100TravelWays 📍First visit to Yuli: the leisurely atmosphere of a small town with mountains and rivers The journey to Yuli Town in Hualien is like an experience of returning to nature and tranquility. Yuli, located in the Hualien-Taitung Valley, has a simple small town scenery. Magnificent mountains and rice fields can be seen along the way. The golden rice waves swaying in the wind seem to welcome the arrival of every tourist. There are not many people here and the pace is not busy, so it is a good place to take a stroll and feel the gentle touch of nature and the local daily rhythm with your steps. The sun was shining warmly and the breeze was blowing gently that day. I felt particularly happy during the journey, as if I had come to a paradise away from the world. 👍Qiaotou stinky tofu: unique aroma When talking about Yuli delicacies, we have to mention the famous Qiaotou stinky tofu. This stall is inconspicuous but quite popular. The aroma of stinky tofu wafts in the wind, making people unable to resist following the scent. The store fries the stinky tofu until it is golden and crispy, with a crispy outer skin and a dense inner part. It is then topped off with a unique sauce and crispy kimchi. When you take a bite, you’ll find it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant aroma. The stinky aroma of stinky tofu is particularly tempting here, and paired with the fresh atmosphere of Yuli, it is particularly flavorful. You can feel the simplicity and thoughtfulness of the local snacks in every bite. No wonder you can see tourists holding a box of this Yuli specialty wherever you go. 🚩Yuli: Authentic flavors soothe the heart Another local specialty, "Yuli", is also a must-try delicacy when visiting Yuli. This bowl of ordinary yet distinctive noodles melts in your mouth. The noodles are soft and elastic. The soup is fragrant and delicious, with a hint of pork bone. It has a strong hometown flavor in its light taste. The soup and ingredients of each store are slightly different, but they all exude a simple and warm atmosphere. This bowl of noodles is like a microcosm of the town. It may seem plain, but it can make people feel satisfied and feel the local people's persistence and love for ingredients and traditional flavors. 🎉Town tour: discover the simplicity and humanity of Yuli Walking along the streets of Yuli, exploring the alleys and local old buildings, it feels like traveling back in time. The residents here are friendly and hospitable. They always smile warmly at passers-by and occasionally chat with them, introducing the characteristics of the town and their daily lives. In the tranquility, the small roadside shops, grocery stores and various signs are full of human touch. This journey is not only a scenic tour, but also a life experience, where you can feel the gentle and profound emotions of Yuli. 🚩Return mood: leaving with delicious food and memories After the tour, my heart is full of memories and the aftertaste of local delicacies. The simplicity and hospitality of Yuli Town make people linger, especially the taste of Qiaotou stinky tofu and Yuli, which become an unforgettable part of the journey. Yuli is not only a small town between mountains and rivers, but also a life attitude and a spiritual home. When I left, I was already looking forward to my next visit and meeting Yuli again among the mountains and rivers. 🔵Transportation strategy: Take the Taiwan Railway Hualien-Taitung Line trains of all levels to arrive 🟢Must-visit attractions: Hualien-Taitung Valley, Yuli Black Bear Conservation Center 🟡Recommended hotel: Shanlin Shanlin Youth Cultural Hotel 🟠Must-eat food: Qiaotou stinky tofu, Yuli Nei 🔴Shopping guide: Yuli Yokan #Huadong Valley Tour #Yuli Town Walk #Pure Natural Beauty #Delicious Stinky Tofu and Yuli Nei #Yankan Souvenirs #Worth Visiting

Quietly experience the vastness, de-stressing and relaxing feeling in Hualien The last time was three months after the earthquake, I went to explore the north of Hualien, the famous canyons, cliffs, and the Pacific Ocean 🏖️ This time, three months after the earthquake, I went to explore the famous valleys, alpine lakes, and forestry settlements in southern Hualien. ✨The Longitudinal Valley Highway is an important highway from Hualien to Taitung. It runs through the vast Longitudinal Valley area. It was not affected by the earthquake before and is still open for tourism. ✨Lintian Mountain - the key settlement for forestry development in Hualien 80 years ago. There are relics of the mountain tracks in the past. Now it has become a famous hiking trail or a forestry exhibition memorial. ✨Liyutan, you can climb the mountain and circle the lake. This season is a very suitable mountain lake for summer vacation. In addition, during the summer vacation, the county dolls-red-faced Muscovy ducks are on summer vacation and exhibited. 🎈 The weather is so hot, let's have some ice🍨 It's been a long time since I went to the outskirts of Hualien in the morning. The southern valley is vast, and there are almost no tourists (this has been the case in the past few months). The sky is clear 🏖️☀️It looks very sunny ☀️ but it's actually cooler than the city 🌬️ This is an unprecedented event. I can travel around the county with a group of friends on a bus for a day during the summer vacation, and have a big meal and drinks at noon. After all, the summer vacation in the past was always packed with guests and very busy🤣, but this year it is like a dark cloud🤣🤣 Instead of lying down and waiting for tomorrow to come, or wondering at home, it is better to do more things, exercise, breathe fresh air, and have a cool iced coffee 🍨 It is also good to spend the day 😎 ✨Beautiful scenery✨ But it can’t be used as an industry now😅 #trip #relax #instatravel #Taiwan #naturalbeauty

🚗 From Kenting to Hualien — Embark on a journey with beautiful scenery along the way. Between the Rift Valley route and the coastal route, each with its own charm, I chose the Rift Valley route where mountains and plains intertwine, enriching my view and deeply touching my heart. 1️⃣ Duoliang Station — Taitung's hidden gem, where the vastness of the Pacific Ocean and the passing trains create a moving picture. Although I didn't capture the most perfect moment, the grandeur is deeply etched in my memory. 2️⃣ Mr. Brown Avenue — Flat country roads flanked by shimmering green rice fields paint a vivid pastoral scene that is refreshing to the soul. The legend of the Takeshi Kaneshiro tree adds a literary touch to the place. 3️⃣ Chishang Bento — A seemingly simple lunch box contains rich culture and stories. The rice from Chishang is distinct and each bite is a pursuit of culinary perfection. 4️⃣ Tropic of Cancer Marker — Taking a photo in front of this special geographical marker allows one to feel the wonder and mystery of the Earth's natural laws. 5️⃣ Rueisuei Ranch — Green pastures, leisurely cattle, and fresh and delicious dairy products are experiences not to be missed here. Each dairy product is a supreme indulgence for the taste buds. 6️⃣ Yunshan Shui — Although I couldn't witness its charm due to the late hour, the name alone is enough to fill one with imagination. 🌊 The East Rift Valley route — It's not just a road, but a journey of the soul. On the way from Kenting to Hualien, every landscape is a pursuit and longing for the beauty of life.

The East Rift Valley is the mountain line of Taiwans Hualien Tourism. It is the topographical landscape of eastern Taiwan, sandwiched between the Central Mountain Range and the Coastal Mountains. It is formed by the Philippine Plate and the Eurasia Plate. The two counties in Taitung are named after the mountain pastoral scenery. Liyu Lake is an important stop in the East Rift Valley. It is located in the south of the carp mountain in Chinan Village, Shoufeng Township. It is an inland lake where you can row and play in it. The name is the carp mountain reflection next to the lake. It is like a squid that is swimming... The squid pool is 15 meters deep in the deepest water. It is clear all year round, and its water comes from the heart of the pool. It is the wonderful place of the carp pond. Yunshan Water Natural Ecological Farm - In fact, perhaps the garden is more suitable. This is actually not a conventional attraction, but a garden created by a green landscaping company. The buildings inside are private houses, but we also see a lot of people in the restaurant. It is said that there are too many tourists, owners and travel companies. I have been involved in a lawsuit. However, this garden is really beautiful, there are mountains and trees, water and lawns, and there are a few places like pockets Jiuzhaigou...

It is small but beautiful. This land is sandwiched between the Central Mountains and the Coast Mountains. The famous pool is here. It has a wide and complete golden ear of rice and picturesque idyllic mountain views. When I was young, I heard that the pool was delicious. When I got to the local area, I knew that the secret of its deliciousness lies in the rice on the pool. The monsoon climate and the strong temperature difference between morning and evening have become the hotbed of rice on the pool. The farmers in the village strictly abide by the laws of nature and land ethics and plant high-quality rice. I love the East Rift Valley because it is quiet like an enchantment. Only those who are willing to explore the beauty of the depths of nature will come together to enjoy the slow time in the field. My first stop is Yunshan Water, where the locals live in private houses. The lake has different colors of algae, reflecting the color of the lake light. The distance is from the mountains, and the mountains are white, innocent and quiet. Or a calm blue or green lake, reflecting the mountains, trees, and clouds of the land on the mirror. This is not a fairy tale. What is it! Under such a beautiful view, we pray that time can be slower and slower. Only in this way, there is no need to hurry and not rush to leave.
