Hualien City

What you need to know before you go

Hualien is a frequent stop for travellers planning a trip to nearby Taroko National Park or embarking on a picturesque Highway 11 road trip to Taitung City. The largest city on Taiwan’s east coast, Hualien is a hotbed of traditional island culture, which can be seen at stalls selling Taiwanese indigenous cuisine at the Dongdamen Night Market, in the farmlands of Fanshuliao, in the modest pushcarts of oily rice, and at the colourful harbour where fishermen hawk fresh sunfish and squid.

Hualien's natural beauty is a big attraction, as it's been called the “prettiest city by the sea”. The 12-mile-long gorge at Taroko National Park offers a spectacular introduction to the dramatic local landscape. Outdoors enthusiasts will enjoy rafting the Hsiukuluan River, while flaneurs can explore the boutiques, temples and teashops in Hualien’s city centre.
