Towering cliffs in pink and gray marble soar 1,000 meters above turquoise waters, with hiking trails clinging to sheer walls. The iconic Zhuilu Old Trail offers heart-pounding views from a 70cm-wide cliffside path, while Baiyang Waterfall Trail leads to a secret water curtain cave. Don’t miss the Tunnel of Nine Turns where the river thunders through narrow marble corridors – nature’s own art gallery!

🙏 Tianxiang Temple 天祥禅寺
Perched on a riverside terrace, this serene Chan Buddhist temple features golden roofs glowing against marble cliffs. The bell tower’s 108 chimes (representing earthly desires) echo through the gorge each dawn. Inside the Maitreya Buddha Hall, a 3-meter jade Buddha sits surrounded by 10,000 miniature crystal Buddhas – a breathtaking sight when sunlight hits the altar!
坐落河阶平台上的禅寺，金顶与大理石山壁相映生辉。晨钟108响象征破除烦恼，弥勒佛殿内3米高玉佛被万尊水晶小佛环绕，阳光照射时宛如佛国现前！
💦 Eternal Spring Shrine (Changchun Shrine) 长春祠
A waterfall cascades through this bright red shrine honoring 212 workers who died building the Central Cross-Island Highway.

This crimson pavilion honors Yue Fei, China’s patriotic Song Dynasty general. The three-tiered wooden structure juts dramatically over the Liwu River, offering panoramic views of Heliu Bridge and the gorge’s narrowest section. Legend says drinking from the nearby “Loyal Spring” brings courage – but the real reward is photographing the pavilion framed by vertical marble walls!
纪念岳飞的三层朱红木亭悬于立雾溪上，可将鹤流桥与峡谷最窄处尽收眼底。相传饮「忠烈泉」泉水能得勇气，但真正震撼的是拍摄亭子被垂直大理石壁框住的绝景！
🕊️ Swallow Grotto (Yanzikou) 燕子口
Watch daredevil swallows dart between marble cliffs in this 500m-long section where the river narrows to just 10m!

🌊 Qixingtan Beach 七星潭
Nestled along Hualien’s stunning coastline, Qixingtan Beach enchants visitors with its mesmerizing crescent-shaped bay and smooth pebble shores that create a natural musical symphony as waves roll in. This 20-kilometer stretch of grey-blue stones (legend says they’re tears of celestial beings) offers breathtaking views of the Pacific’s turquoise waters meeting dramatic mountain backdrops. Famous for its surreal “blue tears” bioluminescence at night and spectacular sunrise vistas over the Qingshui Cliffs, the beach is perfect for cycling the coastal trail, flying kites, or simply meditating to the rhythmic waves. Don’t miss the nearby military watchtowers turned art spaces or tasting fresh seafood at the charming fishing village – where the ocean’s bounty meets indigenous culinary traditions!
花莲绝美的七星潭以月牙形海湾与会「唱歌」的鹅卵石海滩闻名，每当浪花拍岸，圆润的灰蓝色砾石便奏响大自然乐章（传说这些是仙人的泪珠）。长达20公里的砾石海岸线呈现太平洋蓝与中央山脉绿的惊艳碰撞，夜间的「蓝眼泪」奇观与清水断崖日出更是不容错过。最适合骑行滨海自行车道、放风筝或单纯聆听浪涛冥想。附近由军事哨站改造的观景台和渔村现捞海鲜料理，让您同时享受视觉与味觉的海洋盛宴，体验太平洋与原民文化的完美交融！
🎪 Dongdamen Night Market 东大门夜市

This massive 9-hectare culinary playground puts a creative spin on Taiwanese street food classics – try the “taro bubble pancakes” that explode with mochi filling, or the indigenous-style grilled wild boar wrapped in betel leaves. The “Original Street” section preserves nostalgic 1950s Taiwan flavors like coffin bread and herbal stews, while “Mainland China Street” offers regional specialties from across the strait. Don’t miss the live cultural performances at the central stage, where Amis tribal dances alternate with Taiwanese puppet shows.
