Pacific Ocean International Festival Of Rock Balancing And Arts

One of the most popular attractions of Taiwan, although maybe not the most spectacular one. Crescent bay and clear blue waters with a beach full of colorful agates. This used to be a small fishing village but has now multiple scenic trails, pagodas, beach pavilions, and a star-gazing square. Excellent vistas of the ocean, delicious seafood, friendly people. The beach is not popular for swimming as the tides and currents are quite dangerous, the bottom drops off steeply, and doesn't have much sand (mostly pebbles). It is important to stay near the coast.

Established in the Qing Dynasty, this is the oldest temple in Hualien.

A 5,500-seat stadium that regularly features professional baseball games.

Displays traditional and contemporary stone sculptures.

The 9th mosque built in Taiwan.

The former residence of Kuo Tzu-Chiu, a famous musician and teacher from the area.
