▲ Mama Farm
Formerly known as TaiHappy Farm, the site was closed in 2024 and reopened under a new team on January 18, 2025. Covering 14 hectares, the farm features both agricultural and equestrian areas, with organic crops, an animal zone, and an ecological fish pond.
*Visitors can purchase feed to interact with the animals. For both animal health and visitor safety, please follow feeding guidelines carefully.
※ Closed on Wednesdays – alternative stop: Pacific Park.
▲ Yunshanshui Farm
Covering about 24 hectares, the farm sits beside an ecological village. Flocks of white geese glide across the lake, reflecting the rich ecology of Yunsanshui. Around the lakeshore, many bald cypress trees are planted; in autumn and winter, their colors gradually turn from green to yellow and red, showing the change of seasons. The 4-hectare Dream Lake is a man-made lake, and as the weather and sunlight shift, the water changes color too. The azure water, dreamlike and dazzling, feels as if one were looking at a Swiss landscape.
※ Closed days – alternative stop: Liyu Lake pedal boating.
▲ Guangfu Sugar Factory
Established during the Japanese era, the Hualien Tourist Sugar Factory—also known as Guangfu Sugar Factory—offers a wide variety of frozen treats. From sweet and creamy ice cream to refreshing ice pops with a hint of sweetness, each bite brings simple satisfaction.
▲ Guangfeng Highway
The Highway 11A stretches 19.162 km, starting from Matai’an in Guangfu Township, and ending in Fengbin (formerly called Maogong), crossing the Coastal Mountain Range and connecting the East Rift Valley with the East Coast. Originally part of the Japanese-era “Tokaido”, it was also the old main route of Highway 11 before being redesignated as a branch after a new coastal section opened. The road alternates between gentle climbs and descents, with a highest point of about 310 meters above sea level, making it a popular route for cyclists seeking a challenge.
▲ Shitiping
The area is a vast coastal terrace with well-developed marine erosion features. Wave-cut platforms, uplifted coral reefs, marine trenches, and sea cliffs are found throughout, with pothole formations regarded as the best in Taiwan.
▲ Shimen March Cave
Located below Shimen Banshaojiao, the entrance is along a small path next to a pavilion that extends toward the coast. Due to sea erosion, the cave entrance resembles the shape of a small “March” car, giving it the nickname Mochi Cave. It became a popular photo spot after the Hollywood movie Silence was filmed here.
※ If Shimen Cave is closed, the alternative attraction will be Qiqi Highland or Huaren Seawall.
▲ Dashibi Hill Trail
Dashibi Hill is located at the southern end of the Jiqi Beach Recreation Area. It is a small hill protruding from the coastline. Due to its large rock formations, the hill resembles a “nose” along the coast and its shape is like a turtle’s back, hence the names Dashibi Hill or Guian Hill.
The trail is approximately 910 meters long and takes about 1 hour to complete. Most of the path consists of wooden sleepers and stone steps. Along the way, visitors can see wild lilies, common jasmin orange, and prickly ash, as well as various insects. From the highest point, you can enjoy a full view of the Jiqi Beach. This is a nature trail suitable for families.
※ If Shitiping is closed due to weather, the alternative attractions are New Pacific 1 Shop – Xibulan Visitor Center + Jingpu Sun Plaza or Old Changhong Bridge.
