Hualien Taiwan Last Updated: 04/30/2024 |
| Hualien County is home to several world-class scenic attractions. In 1590, Portuguese sailors passed by the eastern coast of Taiwan and were so moved by the grandeur of what they saw that they named this land Formosa, the beautiful island. Since that time, the majestic views of Hualien have come to represent Taiwan. | |
| Hualien is the meeting point of the Central Cross-Island Highway, Suao-Hualien Highway, and highways leading south to Taitung. Hualien is Taiwan's biggest county, with an area of about 4,628 square kilometers and a population of 318,736 in 2023. The county borders the Pacific Ocean to the east and is hemmed in by the Central Range to the west. With its towering peaks, azure skies, vast seas, scenic valleys, cultural diversity, and friendly kindhearted people, Hualien has become one of Taiwan's first-choice travel destinations for local and international visitors alike. | |
