2025 Shoufeng Township Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

This sea view is very nice. This restaurant has always been on my bucket list. It is really nice to enjoy the Pacific Ocean while dining. I thought I didn't have to expect too much from the restaurant's food. But I didn’t expect it to be so delicious. The wild boar meat is a must-order! There are also seafood restaurants and cafes next to this row. After lunch, I wanted to have a cup of coffee and it was just a few steps away. The coffee shop is very secretive. If I hadn't looked at Google Maps to find the restaurant, I really didn’t find it… There is no air conditioning in Wanghaibanai. Only electric fans. The sea breeze is cool. But those who are not very interested in the heat should think twice. I can endure the heat for this beautiful sea view!

On the way back to Taipei, I saw the beautiful sea view. Decided to find a place to stop and have a coffee break. Open Google Map to research where there are coffee shops nearby? I accidentally discovered this seaside cafe with a sea view... Beautiful Pacific Ocean view, Perfect for a slow afternoon. Everyone has a minimum consumption. There are more outdoor seats than in the city. You can bring your dog in, too. It's a very nice cafe.

Hualien Attractions-Haiya Valley There are many installations that are very photogenic. It feels like being in Bali If you come to Hualien, you can arrange time in the morning to drink coffee and watch the sea. It’s a good choice! Adult ticket 200/person Can be used to offset consumption of 100 yuan

This is a mysterious restaurant that you may not be able to find without a guide and that cannot be located on Google. Passing by the Yanliao coastline, most people would rush to see the sea, but I insisted on going into the mountains, to a restaurant in a secret place. The person who runs the restaurant is Xiaoguan, a tourist who takes everyone to the stream and the sea in summer. His summer restaurant is the streamside dining table, where he casually sets up a dining table by the stream, but this time is different. He became a match seller and quietly opened a matchstick table in the coastal forest. The crackling sound of burning wood is incredible and dreamy in the forest at night. It feels like camping, but without the fatigue of preparing camping equipment by yourself. The restaurant currently adopts a reservation system. Those who want to experience the Hualien Forest Secret Restaurant should remember to confirm the reservation and status. The restaurant style is a kind of outdoor healing route. You can enjoy steak and roast chicken dinner, have a drink with friends, and smell the aroma of burning wood in the woods at night. It turns out that only the power of nature can make us really let go of our tense emotions. I was slightly tipsy, with a hammock beside me. I lay there aimlessly, looking at the treetops and the night sky. What a beautiful life! It could be so illusory. This is my most honest feeling.

We stayed at the Champs Elysees B&B next door. Through the wooden fence, we could see many small animals in the distant mountain forest, including capybara, Cole duck, sika deer, and alpaca. It was such a magical B&B. The owner of the B&B led us in and bought 50 yuan of carrots. The children happily fed the small animals.

By chance, I saw an introduction to this hidden B&B in Shoufeng, Hualien on the Internet. I thought it was really beautiful, and there were very few rooms. The room rate was really not cheap, and the reservations were often fully booked. Finally, I booked a one-night stay during the 2022 Chinese New Year. When we drove there, there was a very small mountain road to our destination. We thought we had taken the wrong road. But after we arrived, we found that it was really a paradise located halfway up the mountain. The entire B&B architecture and scenery were like a fairy tale. All the photos we took were beautiful. The B&B was very considerate and invited us to have fun together in the evening. One of the guests was a mountain fellow. We played the guitar and drank at the same time. It was really enjoyable. The whole space is very relaxing and suitable for outdoor yoga and meditation. It was drizzling when we checked in that day, which was a little unexpected, but the beauty of the rain was still very beautiful and different. #Terrace Mountain #WinHongKongTicket I want to go to Wong Tai Sin to do body, mind and spirit research haha

At 7:30 in the morning on the first day of the holiday, I set out on the journey to find the "Alpaca". During this time, I climbed up the slope, went down the stairs, and walked on the small path in the mountains using my hands and feet. Due to the drought, the path is covered with dirt. "Alpaca", "Alpaca", where are you? I guess by the time I find you, I'll have become a native. "Alpaca", when I saw you, I couldn't help but feel relieved. You are not as ugly as the legend says, but rather "kawaii" - your furry appearance is very much like a poodle; your head looks like a sheep, a horse, and a camel, combining their cute features and discarding their ugly features. You walked towards me with your chin shaking and your ears fluttering. It's a pity that I don't have any food to feed you, otherwise I would feed you like a baby deer. There is a sign outside the cage that introduces you. After reading it, I have a deeper understanding of you: You are from South America and are a foreign guest! There are only three million left in the world. You love to eat alpine thorn plants. Your original name is alpaca. You live in a group, with a strong male camel as the leader. Your head is like a camel, with a protruding nose, upright ears, a slender neck, and no hump. You can't chirp, you can only make an occasional "hum" sound. Your hair is long and curly, reaching a length of twenty to forty centimeters, is shiny, and can form large curls, like a fashionable permed head. You have a gentle temperament, are human-like, and don't eat much, so you are really easy to raise! At this time, a "grass mud horse" came towards me, looked at me friendly, with the corners of its mouth slightly upturned, as if smiling at me. Was it laughing at the little guy standing in front of you, covered in dirt, trying to find you and to catch a glimpse of you?

a2 Waterfront Park It is a lakeside cottage that looks like a European fairy tale. The surrounding environment is quite dreamy. There are paths and fiery red bald cypresses next to it. The lake is also sparkling at dusk, more like a painting or an illustration in a fairy tale book. Ideal A2 Waterfront Park is the most beautiful Starbucks fairy tale cottage in Hualien. You can also take a boat trip on the lake and through the bald cypress forest. #Hualiena2WaterfrontPark

Hualien Shoufeng Seaview Triangle Cabin Sea view cabin super close to the sea! You can reach the beach within 3 minutes’ walk! The triangular shape of the log cabin is so cute! ! The interior and bathroom space are not as big as expected, but very cozy. The sea view from the window is more beautiful than a painting. There are different views in the evening and morning. There is a ladder leading to the small attic. There is a bench in front of the window of the small attic, which is a great place to take pictures! It's just that the ladder is a bit heavy, so you need to be careful when moving it. #Taiwan Seaview Accommodation

#newyearadventure #hayaku #hualien #seaview #relax #attractions #scenic If you are travelling to Hualien, one thing you shouldn't miss is this placed called Hayaku where its situated at 974, Taiwan, Hualien County, Shoufeng Township right on the edge of the mountain side.

No. 2-1, Lane 96, Zhongzheng Road, Shoufeng Township, Hualien County 974 I found this restaurant based on Google reviews. It can only accommodate 4 groups of customers at a time and opens at 5 o'clock. The ingredients may be sold out early, so you need to visit early. The boss makes the meals by himself, and it takes a long time from ordering to serving. I suggest you come when you have enough time. The ingredients are fresh, the sashimi is not cold, and the taste is very good. I personally think the cooked chicken nuggets are better than the pork chops. The menu is designed according to the different catches, so the meals prepared by the store are not fixed every morning.

A must-visit every time I come to Hualien, it's delicious. Personally, I think the ingredients are a bit sweet. I like to order the clear sugarcane ice, which is very sweet and thirst-quenching. A bowl costs 50 yuan, highly recommended.

The only ocean-themed theme park in eastern Taiwan, with many cute marine creatures and endless sea views, it is a leisurely resort. I highly recommend going there👍👍👍👍👍

In the huge campus, there are great photo spots everywhere. When walking, I stopped and found that the school can be so beautiful.
