Qixingtan is a long crescent-shaped coast. What makes Qixingtan known is its magnificent bay. It is quite suitable for watching the sunrise, enjoying the stars and admiring the moon. Not only is it loved by tourists, but also because it is close to Hualien City. Many people are used to taking a walk by the sea after work and enjoying the afterglow of summer and the beach atmosphere. In summer, as early as 5 o’clock in the morning, you can see the fiery red sun rising from the sea.

Going further south, you can climb up to the 48 Highlands and the environmental protection park through wooden ladders, and then enter the Hualien Port and Nanbin Park area.

When strolling or cycling on the beach, pay attention to rogue waves (suddenly rolled up fierce waves. It is very dangerous to be swept away). Do not go if there is a typhoon. 4. Due to the lack of shelters and strong sunlight, pay attention to sun protection and replenishing water. 5. Since it is a fault beach, the water depth will suddenly increase. Therefore, it is not suitable for playing in the sea.
