I lived in Taiwan for 2 years, and I spent about 1/3 of that time in Hualien. This video brings back memories. Taiwan is one of my favorite places in the world
Yup! I too lived in Taiwan (The Most Beautiful) from '70 to '73 but mainly in Keelung and Kaohsiung but on my 2 weeks break I'll spend it either in Hualien or Tainan. After watching the vid, the wonderful memories became so alive, Taiwanese are definitely the most friendliest people.
Brings back a lot of memories for me as well when I was living in Taiwan from 1997 to 2002. I remember when my Taiwanese girlfriend dumped me I was going to ride my scooter all the way around Taiwan Island and I got as far as from Taipei to Keelung and realised it was just too far so I dumped my motor scooter and got on a train the rest of the way. 哈哈😄 Wonderful memories.
I liked Hualien and I would like to say it is a hidden gem of a country that itself is a hidden gem of the world :) Love and respect to Taiwan from India.
I'm not Asian the Taiwanese were very friendly to me even before I gave up my seat on the HSR to an older woman I was surprised at the nods and smiles I received
And I noticed because Taiwan has the coronavirus totally under control, You can travel around see great sights. Nobody wearing a mask there. Unfortunately in California we are in day 50 of lockdown. Severe restrictions imposed by Governor. Taiwan more free!
I went there 3-time last year, traveled from Europe just for it and it's more than worth it!!! one thing you forgot to mention (or I missed it), Taiwanese are absolutely fabulous people, very kind, welcoming, gentle, polite and very helpful. Hualien is with no doubt my favourite spot in Taiwan and as you described, it has EVERYTHING you need to spend a fabulous time!
Of all the places I lived in Taiwan, Hualien was my favorite. Tons of butterflies in the hills. I saw 20+ species in just five minutes. Living in Tokyo, now. I miss Taiwan.
Hi! Hope you enjoy the video. The next one is going to be about Abu Dhabi, UAE! Thanks for watching. I am really surprised how popular Dubai video got! Wow!
I loved every where I visited in Taiwan but I do agree Hualien is special and beautiful! I took the train from Juifen and had three nights there ! I wondered around the streets of the city got lost and visited the back streets and I got to see how people live! The musical garbage trucks where people come out of their houses to throw the bags of garbage straight in to the trucks, the little shops and food places we ate at! We even came across a funeral being held in the street !
You remind me of fond memories I had having lived in Hualien for 2 years. Reminiscing the quiet nights in the hills overlooking the city sipping hot oolong tea with fresh water taken from a creek running nearby. Great people, lovely place and abundance of seafoods. I miss the place.
For cyclers, Hualien is best known worldwide for the KOM challenge (King of Mountains). Challengers start from Chixingtan and go up to 3275m above sea level in 105 km distance. It is considered one of the most tough bicycle route in the world!
lovely! i lived in taiwan from1982 to 1987 and have been to Hualian. beautful, reminds me of coastal Hawaii...epecially the black sand beaches and seaside cliffs,
Beautiful rural Taiwan. Peaceful and tranquil. Sure like to spend some time there to de-stress and forget the problems of the world. Oh yes, most certainly one of the best travel documentary I've come across. Speaks with clarity, also complemented with pertinent information about the place he is visiting. Videography is fantastic!
I have been thinking about visiting Taiwan for some time. You have sold me on the place. I will certainly want to go to the East Coast & enjoy Hualien. It looks beautiful & relaxed. So far what I like about Taiwan is that it's safe & clean. Also the transportation system sounds amazing. In many ways it reminds me of Japan, in that everything is so orderly and the people considerate.
Thank's a lot for your great work and nice video too👍 I visited 34 year's ago from the the north to the south by train that was a great experience to meet locals. I was with a train a step mountain traveling I feel like I am like at home (like Switzerland) I love it and I never would miss it too traveling to such beautiful country Taiwan 🇹🇼 please take care of your country to be independent 🗽and strong, good luck ☘️ Best regards from Asia 🐘🏝🐘🇨🇭
Lovely look at Hualien! I visited there in Dec. The National park was amazing. Makes me miss Taiwan, I hope to get back there again one day! Thanks for sharing. :)
Brings back a lot of memories for me as well when I was living in Taiwan from 1997 to 2002. I remember when my Taiwanese girlfriend dumped me I was going to ride my scooter all the way around Taiwan Island and I got as far as from Taipei to Keelung and realised it was just too far so I dumped my motor scooter and got on a train the rest of the way. 哈哈😄 Wonderful memories.
I stayed in Hualien for one week at a Buddhist monastery ,and took a bus tour of the country for one week. I miss Taiwan,the kind nuns that wake up at 3 am every day to serve humanity,the night markets in Taipei city,Taipei 101,sun moon lake.So much to see.Left my heart in Taiwan.God willing will go back to visit.Peace and love and Freedom to Taiwan.🙏🇺🇲❤️
I visited the Taroko Gorge several years ago. You're right, it is a great place to visit! But you missed filimng two of the highlights - the native Taiwanese dancers and the cave with a waterfall in it, about a mile's walk from the hotel at the top of the mountain road. Both were delightful.
i remember visiting the Taroko Gorge with my family when I was little. Standing in middle of the carved marble canyon, It was one of the places in the world that made me realize how small we are. And if you venture deeper into the national park, you can drive up to the alpine areas with a different climate and refreshing cool air.
What an amazing view of the scenery road goiing inside de rocks. Congratulations for the beautiful video at an interesting area of Taiwan. Best regards from Florianopolis, Brazil.
Thank you. This is the first video of Taiwan that wasn’t solely based around the night markets/food that I’ve seen. We are moving to Taiwan, whenever this CCP virus is over, and have been looking for videos like these.
I used to live their as a kid, my dad was an engineer that helped build the substations in the mountains and its just a beautiful as I remember it. Really want to go back!
I visit often as my wife is Taiwanese. I go once a year and have not seen everything. So many things to see, enjoy and experience. People are welcoming and friendly. Nature lovers would enjoy this
I’ve been living in Hualien for a year now, if you’re into nature then Hualien is the place for you. I am looking forward to visit all of these places you have showed us in this video, thank you for that.
Don't swim at Hualien's beaches. There's always strong undercurrents due to the steep drop of from the sea level into the sea. I think it's actually forbidden to go into the water in many beaches.
It's definitely on my bucket list ,Hualien .What struck me apart from the beauty is how clean and neat the place is .All they need to do is shoot the next episode of TGOT and the place will be swamped .Better not - I like it better this way .And you said it's cheap too with all the seafood .What more do you want !
I love this video even from a local Taiwanese perspective 😍, please come visit us more, the east side and the south are more natural to explore, love how you edited with your videos! I wish I can be your tour guide if you ever drop by to Asia in the future, consider to visit my hometown Yilan County! Love your videos 😍
I enjoyed your video immensely...you pointed your camera towards the surrounding instead of towards yourself as some other RUclipsrs do, and you did your research about the place too. Please continue to send us more videos of similar nature.
The quality of your video is the best, able to capture the beautiful sceneries. And the tea owner is so adorable, despite difficulty of explaining about the origin of his store, he was smiling all the way. ♥
Nice video. I love how green the place are. I went to Taiwan HuaLien and Taroko 2years ago and it was rainy almost everyday because of Philippines typhoon coming towards Taiwan. Landslide happened after my 2days visit. Some local said it was earthquake because I saw some hotels were damaged. Lucky my family were safe from the disaster as we stayed far from the scene.
Your channel is my most favorite! Since last week I by chance discovered it, I have been watching one after the other, and so far I have watched ten videos. You have a very unique way of capturing things and explaining the incidents. Thank you so much.
This fella didn’t get to the absolute, most beautiful place in Hualien. Mgmuyu River. Trek an hour up that river and it’s spectacular. Also, nicest beaches in taiwan are at Penghu
I lived in Taiwan for 2 years, and I spent about 1/3 of that time in Hualien. This video brings back memories. Taiwan is one of my favorite places in the world

I hope someday I’ll be able to get a job in Taiwan and work there so I can live in Taiwan and experience the culture and nature.
Taiwan loves you too
Taiwan is still 3rd world.
I liked Hualien and I would like to say it is a hidden gem of a country that itself is a hidden gem of the world :) Love and respect to Taiwan from India.
Love the Taiwanese, super friendly.
That depends on who you are.
@@huanghongming Maybe, but for who I am the Taiwanese are pretty friendly compared to other folks in the region.

"Taiwan is one of the greatest countries in the world" amen brother, i been living here for 5 years couldn't agree more

What a beautiful country Taiwan is. 🙏🙏
Fun fact. The Portuguese called Taiwan Ilha Formosa meaning Beautiful Island. So, beautiful island, beautiful country
Of all the places I lived in Taiwan, Hualien was my favorite. Tons of butterflies in the hills. I saw 20+ species in just five minutes.
Living in Tokyo, now. I miss Taiwan.

Hualien is a great place to visit for nature lovers...! and great "Documentary Video on Travel"" too ...
Fantastic place and would like to go there one day. Beautiful video and amazing sightseeing!

empty road and mountain structure is such a mood for me.

Very nice country! Thank you for this nice trip! Take care!👍🌞😊
Taiwan is beautiful and one of my favorite destinations

Don't swim at Hualien's beaches. There's always strong undercurrents due to the steep drop of from the sea level into the sea. I think it's actually forbidden to go into the water in many beaches.
I think you still can swim but not to swim too far away from the land
Used to dive there. I even got my PADI certificates in Hualien. That was 2 decades ago. So much has changed now.
It's definitely on my bucket list ,Hualien .What struck me apart from the beauty is how clean and neat the place is .All they need to do is shoot the next episode of TGOT and the place will be swamped .Better not - I like it better this way .And you said it's cheap too with all the seafood .What more do you want !
