Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within easy reach from the homestay:

• Qixingtan Beach: A 10-minute drive from the homestay, this sweeping crescent of dark pebbled sand boasts dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean and the distant Central Mountain Range. It’s perfect for sunrise walks, cycling along the coastal path, or watching surfers catch breaks year-round.
• Hualien Cultural and Creative Industries Park: Just a 15-minute walk away, this restored old brewery complex houses local craft stalls, independent art galleries, street food vendors, and weekend night markets. It’s the best spot to pick up handmade Hualien souvenirs and sample local delicacies like mochi and grilled squid.
• Taroko Gorge National Park: A 40-minute drive from the homestay, this world-famous marble gorge boasts soaring cliff walls, crystal-clear mountain rivers, and hiking trails for all skill levels, from the easy, scenic Swallow Grotto trail to the challenging Zhuilu Old Road.

Travel Tips

Book your private parking spot at least three days in advance, as spaces are limited and fill up fast during peak travel seasons (June to August and Chinese New Year). If you plan to visit Taroko Gorge, ask the homestay staff to help you arrange a licensed tour or car rental—public transport to the park is infrequent, and the staff can share tips for less crowded trails. For dinner, walk 5 minutes to the nearby Guoxing Road night market for affordable, delicious local street food that beats the more touristy markets closer to the city center. Thanks to its unbeatable location and thoughtful amenities, Station 100m Homestay delivers far more value than much larger chain hotels in central Hualien.
