Taiwan Vista Day Tour

Before Taiwan Vista Tour started off, we were simply Hualien locals that love the outdoors and enjoy keeping an active lifestyle. However, when exploring the adventures the beautiful county has to offer, we realized that while many tour options were offered for the most popular destinations, travelers could not fully enjoy the iconic sights of Hualien because the groups were either too large to allow flexibility, or there was a lack of an English guided tour. And so, with our knowledge, experiences and familiarity with Hualien and the breathtaking views it has to offer, we got ourselves certified as professional tour guides. Taiwan Vista Tour then started in 2014 with the goal of providing quality tour guide services for travelers to Taiwan. Since then, thousands of travelers have trusted us to show them the beauty Hualien has to offer. Planning a escapade to Hualien? Let us know what excites your soul, and leave the planning to us! Your adventure awaits, Taiwan Vista Team

Yanzihkou Trail (Swallow Grotto)

Reviewed By PaulSiow - Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

This trail is included in most tour itineraries for Taroko Gorge. It is easy to walk along the road and you need to wear a helmet. You can see the caves in the cliffs where the swallows nest. Didn't see any swallow though. Very beautiful scenery with the river below, steep cliffs and caves.

Pine Garden

Hualien Pine Garden is used to be the Hualien Harbor Military Command which was built in 1942 by the Japanese who chose the site for its height advantage. From the command, you can see both the mouth of the Meilun River to the north and Hualien Harbor and have a clear, unobstructed view out over the Pacific, making it both a strategic place of a military command center and, later on, a pleasant place for high-ranking officers to relax. It is said that the Kamikaze Special Attack Unit would gather here to partake in "Gentleman's Sake" before departing on missions. Although many creative spaces have been added to Hualien Pine Garden Park, it still remains the most complete example of Japanese military architecture in Hualien and was registered as a historical building in Hualien on the 23rd September 2002. Every corner has its story, welcome to explore more of here. 1 Log Cabin 2 Wishing Pond 3 Air Shelter 4 Oven 5 Taiwan Gift Hall 6 Okinawa Pine 7 Life in the wetlands 8Pine Cafe

If you want to take a forest trip, and enjoy the baptism of nature. “Pine Garden” is a good choice. It used to call “ Naval Administartion”. It built in late WWII. It was an important military command center of the japanese army in Hualien. There are many vestiges of history. For example the simulated air-raid shelter. There is playing the real recording in WWII. The wall posts about WWII’s document. The document introducing “Kamilcaze”. It is a group with a strong patriotism. They driving the fighter towards the enemy and suicide. The sound of fighters and explosion plus historical pictures make the air-raid shelter more realistic. In addition, there are many centennial pines. It also has ecological pool and cafe. Pine Garen in Meilun. It nearby Martyrs’Shrine. From the train station you can take a taxi or passenger traffic.

Hualien Dongdamen Tourist Night Market

Hualien is the jumping off point for one of Taiwan's most famous attractions, Taroko Gorge. At night, many visitors explore the Dongdamen night market. Apart from souvenirs, the night market has some enticing snacks, and also old-fashioned carnival games, It's easy to spend a couple of hours wandering around. And it's fun!

East Gate Night Market

Reviewed By Kelly_Liang_Jia_Yun

I really like this place, since it is really clean that you won't see any garbage on the floor even the trashcan never be full and dirty. Therefore, all the stores are neatly arranged and the roads are wide. However, the most impressive for me is the aboriginal street artists, whose voices make the night market atmosphere full of humanity and sentiment. I think that is the most different place with other night markets in Taiwan. By the way, I like the watermelon juice, papaya milk juice, giant strawberry tanghulu, and bubble milk tea in there. If you are interested in going to the Dong Da Men night market, you must try those.
