A Must-See Stop – East Rift Valley Full-Day Tour
For foreign-language tour guide service, an additional fee of NT$2,500 per vehicle will be charged.
In just one day, immerse yourself in the everyday mountain and sea wonders of the Hualien Rift Valley, creating lasting memories. Starting from Hualien City, venture into the tranquil settlements and forestry cultural sites of the Jhih-an (Ji'an) and Shoufeng areas. Wander through historic Japanese-style courtyards, forestry parks, and old sugar factories, experiencing the "slow" pace of Hualien and Taitung (Huadong) and the authentic lifestyle nurtured by the land.
Itinerary highlights include the serene Japanese garden ambiance of Qingshiu Temple, the rich timber industry history at Lintianshan Forestry Culture Park, and the exhilarating experience of a speedboat tour around Liyu Lake. These are complemented by the dreamy lake scenery of Yunshanshui Dream Lake and the elegant charm of the historic Hualien General's House 1936, offering a comprehensive experience from nature to culture. For lunch, choose from three local restaurants, ensuring your trip is not only picturesque and fun but also a delicious journey through Hualien's authentic flavors.
