Introducing Hualien
Hualien (Huālián) is eastern Taiwan’s largest city and the capital of Hualien County. It doesn’t have many attractions of its own and most people can give it a miss or minimise their time here without worrying about whether they’re losing out. It’s best thought of as a base for visiting Taroko Gorge, Taiwan’s most famous scenic spot, and other sites around the county.
