[2025 Hualien Attraction] Travel Guide for Shitiping (Updated May)

Hualien-Taitung Coast Day Tour, heading to Shitiping Scenic Area! Shitiping is located on the south side of Shitiping Bay in Fengbin. The entire coastline features a rocky coastal erosion landscape, including monocline hills, sea erosion trenches, potholes, and intertidal zones, all the way to Shitiping Harbor, a prime whale watching spot. Our itinerary includes about an hour's stay, perfect for a leisurely walk and taking photos. We also plan to enjoy some seafood at the fishing port! Previously, my impression of Shitiping was limited to the popular Slow Inn. I had never actually entered the Shitiping Scenic Area. This time, the tour guide arranged for a one-hour stay, allowing us to truly experience the grandeur of the coastal erosion landscape. The unique scenery, with its gray-white rocky formations resembling a lunar landscape, is quite photogenic. This was also my first visit to Shitiping Fishing Port. By noon, there was no fish market to explore, only a few seafood snack stalls by the pier and some whale-watching boat operators. It was quite refreshing. Perhaps next time, I should plan a whale-watching trip.

#2月好地方2025 Come to Shimen Cave to take photos of the "march car"! The Shimen section of the Hualien-Taitung coastline is located 4-5 kilometers north of Shiti Fishing Port. It is named because there are huge sea caves in the coastal reef area here, which are shaped like a gate. Its formation is the reef coast of volcanic rock layers, which has been eroded by waves over the years, forming sea caves, sea trenches, potholes, sea platforms and other landforms, as well as rich marine ecology and algal reefs. Shimen Cave has three openings. A huge banyan tree grows at the upper opening, and the opening on the sea side is called the "March Cave" because of its shape that resembles a march car. Together with the sea erosion grooves on the outside of the sea cave facing the Pacific Ocean, some of which resemble pugs or hearts, they are all must-see photo spots! #HualienTravel #Shimen Cave

Shitiping is a geological wonder in Hualien County. Under the long-term beating of waves, the sea erosion landform of Shitiping is very developed.

There are many hidden lovely tiny towns in east coast of Taiwan. I made a walk from Shitiping to Shimen, where both cities located in Fengbin township of Taitung county. I was listening to the sound of waves, feel the warmth from the Mother Nature and enjoy the walk from the time I see blue sky till the sunset along the shoreline. That was fantastic to see the changing of contrast in the sky. #taitung #sunset #mothernature #aboriginals

The east coast of Taiwan has its incredible stunning view to Pacific Ocean. I took a coach from Hualien city to Jingpu. It’s cost me TWD248 and travelling time in between cities is around 3 hours. They are many aboriginals live in the province and they keep their own culture and living style since hundreds of years. Flying fish is one of the most signature food in this area. A must try!!! #flyingfish #aboriginals #eastcoast #pacificocean

#Unbeatable Sea View #Overseas Travel #Sea Erosion Landscape A scenic spot on the east coast of Taiwan, located in the north of Gangkou Village, Fengbin Township, Hualien County. Because the terrain resembles steps, it is called Shitiping. 🌟Features: Because the coastline has been eroded by sea water for a long time, the raised headlands have formed unique geographical features such as sea erosion steps, sea erosion platforms, sea erosion trenches, sea erosion cliffs and large and small potholes, which are comparable to Yehliu on the coast of Taipei. 📷Check-in area: You can observe along the circular trail in the scenic area. Not only can you enjoy the geological landscape of Shitiping, but you can also take in the magnificent and vast scenery of the Pacific Ocean. The unbeatable sea view is endless and very spectacular😍

Shitiping, north back to the coastline, looking to the other side of the sea. Shitiping, Hualien County, Eastern Taiwan, Port Village, Fengbin Township, along the coast. Take a stroll through the nature reserve in the Huadong Coastal Reserve. After the establishment of the Eastern Coast National Scenic Area, the site was designated as Shitiping Recreation Area. An island in Taiwan, even if it is surrounded by the sea, every coastline can bring surprises. The coast that you can see at the end of the south side of Shitiwan is a seashore with a kilometer of gray and white rock. Standing on a high point overlooking the entire ocean, watching the waves tumbling over the rocks, can't help but sigh the wonders of nature!

Want to go to the sea infinitely, do you dare to challenge this place? Strange rocks can be found along the coast of Shitiping. There are many round holes on the raised coral reefs, which are places where crabs and tropical fish live. In addition, due to the impact of the waves, there are many potholes on the sea erosion platform, which vary in size and depth. There are often smooth gravel slides inside. There are many coastal plants on the rock platform in the stone ladder area, such as cactus and horse vine. Enjoy the value. The sea is very beautiful here. If you look at the sea all the way, you will not be tired, and sitting on the big rock and listening to the sound of the waves hitting the reef will make me feel comfortable, quiet and beautiful.

It was my first time to take a cruise-style sightseeing bus in Hualien, and it was really worth the money. We set off from the transfer station at 08:30 in the morning, went along the East Coast line, and returned at 5:30 in the afternoon. On the way, we passed many special attractions, such as Shitiping, Baqi Lookout, Xinshe Terraces, Shimen Cave, etc. Fortunately, I met a very good driver and tour guide, Brother Zhou, who gave us a lot of explanations along the way and took us to experience in depth the special attractions that only locals know about. This is an experience that you can't have if you come here by yourself. It is worth recommending. The Hualien-Taitung Valley C and D lines and the Taroko Line are also worth looking forward to.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Hualien #Shitiping #Hualien Attractions Recommended #HualienFengbin The unique geological topography of Shitiping is named after the multi-layered stepped uplifted rock sea steps, which are covered with potholes and coral reefs. Along the stone trail, you can observe the sea erosion trenches, sea erosion cliffs, sea erosion platforms, and raised coral reefs.

These peculiar rocks have been formed by thousands of years of wave erosion and weathering, each resembling a meticulously carved artwork by nature. Walking along the trail towards the coast, you are met with a vast expanse of rugged limestone terrain. These rocks, shaped by years of wave action, form terraced layers, which is how Shitiping got its name. When the tide recedes, you can clearly see various potholes (tide pools) of different sizes, housing small fish, crabs, and even sea urchins and starfish, showcasing the wonders of nature. Standing on the rock platform, facing the vast Pacific Ocean, waves crash against the rocky shore, creating white sprays. This magnificent scene makes you pause to appreciate the power and beauty of nature. ⛰️ Climb the Observation Deck for a Panoramic View In addition to admiring the sea-eroded terrain up close, I climbed the observation deck at Shitiping to overlook the entire coastline from above. From the deck, you can clearly see the spectacular sea-eroded platform, with the horizon extending endlessly, offering a broad and refreshing view. If you're lucky, you might spot dolphins or flying seabirds here. Occasionally, you can see anglers fishing by the rocks, adding a touch of leisure to the serene seascape. 🌅 Dreamy Moments at Dusk If time permits, it is recommended to stay until dusk, when Shitiping takes on a different charm. As the sun sets, the afterglow casts a golden-orange hue on the rocks and sea, creating a shimmering, picturesque scene. At this time, Shitiping is free from the hustle and bustle of tourists, replaced by the sound of waves and the gentle breeze. Standing on the rocks, watching the changing sky, it feels as if time stands still, allowing you to be completely immersed in the moment. 💞 Recommended Reason: The Magnificent Hidden Gem of Eastern Taiwan Shitiping is a place that showcases the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature.

#goout The coastal rocks of Shitiping have been eroded by the waves for many years, forming layers of stairs with peculiar shapes. The rocks are covered with potholes of various sizes, which is very special and the scenery is very beautiful. However, because the rocks are rugged, you must be careful and walk slowly.

Shitiping seaside scenery bring a feeling of refreshment. This beach is covered with gray and white rock formations. It was originally a tuff (volcanic clastic rock) formation formed after the eruption of the volcano. This coastal area is hard and hard due to the difference in hardness between the rock layers. The convex, soft concave, the rock tilts to the southeast of the sea at a certain inclination, so a stone-like shape is formed. In Shitiping, facing the sea, I think of Haizis poem "I have a house facing the sea, spring blossoms" Come to Taiwan, there is always a surprise, you can feel all kinds of Small manual.

Shitiping, the port village of Fengbin Township, Hualien County, east of Taiwan, along the coast. Take a stroll through the nature reserve in the Huadong Coastal Reserve. After the establishment of the Eastern Coast National Scenic Area, the site was designated as Shitiping Recreation Area. An island in Taiwan, even if it is surrounded by the sea, every coastline can bring surprises. The coastal view, located at the end of the south side of Shitiwan, is a seashore that is one kilometer long and covered with gray and white rock. Standing on a high point overlooking the entire ocean, watching the waves tumbling over the rocks, can't help but sigh the wonders of nature!

Starting from Hualien, along the eastern coastal road, it is the most beautiful coastline in Taiwan. Our RP is good. It meets the sky with high altitude and bright sunshine. It runs along the coastal road from Hualien to Taitung. One side is a continuous green hill, one side is choppy, the sea is green and blue. In the Pacific Ocean, the knights around the island are riding motorcycles on the highway... This kind of style is always reminiscent of the old riders in "The Old Knight" and the teenagers in the "Echo Etude" cycling around the island. Painting! The stone terrace on the coast is next to a small fishing port. It is a curved coast. The name of Shitiping originated from the time when Wu Guangliang was stationed in the late Qing Dynasty. When the sea was seen by the sea, it was like a ladder. The same arrangement, hence the name. Shitiping is about one kilometer long. The rocks on the beach are mostly tuffs after volcanic eruptions. After years of wind and rain, they are in a variety of shapes. It is very strange. When we arrived, the northeast monsoon was prevailing. The seaside wind was not small. The waves hit the rocks and spread like flying flowers and jade. It was spectacular. The north line monument is located on the coast road not far from Shiziping. Although it is not strictly along the geographical north latitude of 23 degrees 26 minutes and 21.448 seconds, it is also inseparable. From here, the north side is the subtropical area. And the south is tropical.

The Shitiping Recreation Area is a seashore stretching for one kilometer and covered with gray and white rock. It was originally a tuff (volcanic clastic rock) formation formed after the volcanic eruption. This coastal zone is due to the soft and hard differences between the rock layers. After years of sea erosion, the hard convex, soft concave, the rock tilts to the southeast sea at a certain inclination, so a stone ladder shape is formed. Shitiping is the last stop of our road. It is really a big rock. On the other side of the rock is the Pacific Ocean without margin. A small suggestion about choosing Kenting Hualien Sea Line or Mountain Line: If you are having fun in Kenting, then it is recommended to take the mountain line, because the sea will see some boring because of the follow-up journey. We are just an example. The journey in the latter half of the day basically didn't want to get off the bus. Getting off the car was also a symbolic shot of a few photos, completely without the excitement of the previous few days.
