Last time I visited HuaLien was about 20 years ago. It is a place you remember and think of coming back once in a couple of years or so. Thanks to a very organized friend, a group of old buddies made the tour.
I was not disappointed. It was as beautiful as I remembered, and better. The rapid water shaped and polished the rocks. The sub-tropical climate gave the delicious lush. Recent rain colored some streams black. When the ink-like water rush downstream and smashed into the rock, you get memorized with this eerie feeling of being in a different world.
HuaLien is probably best visited via train. Make sure Taroko, a bit north of HuaLien city, is your destination. The beaches are clean and fun. That was the expected bonus.
