PARADISE in Taiwan 🇹🇼 Taroko National Park & Qixingtan Beach, Hualien

[@jamieandhannah_]

Hey everyone 👋 Hualien really surprised us! Taroko National Park is incredibly beautiful, Qixingtan beach was stunning (even if it was extremely windy 😅) and we enjoyed exploring the town too. Hope you enjoy the video!

You won't regret to try some 扁食 in Hualiang, it is delicious, it kind of like dumplings, but softer and soak in soup. A famous dish in Hualiang.

I still remember the first time I visited the east coast of Hualian. It taught me what really blue is.

[@eizzahazman]

Hiii. Can i know the name of the scooter shop? Does it requires international driving permit? Thanks!! ❤

[@more168]

Riding a scooter! It is very integrated into the Taiwanese lifestyle! There are also many special scenic spots in Taiwan, such as Alishan, Sun Moon Lake, etc. You are welcome to experience them.

[@jamieandhannah_]

Thank you! We visited Sun Moon Lake it was very beautiful, and we had perfect weather!! Glad you enjoyed the video ❤️

Taroko is always epic af

[@jamieandhannah_]

Agreed!! Thanks for watching 😊

[@yfllll]

Great footage! Thanks for sharing Apparently there’s a closed off trail in Taroko that leads down to a riverside hot spring pool! So there’s at least one place in the gorge where the water isn’t freezing I believe a rockfall destroyed part of it so it’s closed off, though I’ve heard people still go down to it. It seems a bit dangerous though!

[@VENDWORLD-TW]

Super🎉 Welcome to Taiwan👏🙏

Hannah is so cute. >< I love the way you two introducing the attractions. Every reaction is real and natural, not exaggerated. Watching your video always makes me relax 😊

[@jamieandhannah_]

Thank you, that’s very kind! Glad you enjoyed the video, we are loving Taiwan! We truly could spend a lot of time here just exploring everything, especially the South which we’ve heard is beautiful! ❤️

[@thevigarfeeling]

Another great one guys. The area is so magical. The sea looks pretty wild. How was driving on the moped ?

[@jamieandhannah_]

Thanks guys! Hualien was so beautiful we wish we’d have stayed longer, and yeah the sea was crazy! Only we could visit the beach in the height of Taiwanese winter 🤣🤣 Driving was really good, the road are super smooth and quiet…there are obviously stricter traffic rules but thankfully there are also dedicated lanes for bikes, making it easier overall. The drive from Hualien to Taroko is fairly long but with those views you really don’t mind 😄

[@sdarkao9297]

[@okletgo-di6dd]

@@jamieandhannah_ Please come back🧡 Next time, you can also visiting other places like "Qingjing Farm" and "Hehuanshan" in Taiwan. To the west of Taroko Gorge, you can reach those areas, and they are also very beautiful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZy6naaeZ89_f9E

[@chirich572]

FYI the beaches on the east coast of Taiwan tend to be rocky while those of west coast and southern tip tend to be sandy. East coast beaches have choppy waves from the Pacific and pebblie/rocky surfaces, but the view against the backdrop of Central Mountain Range is singular snd stunning. For a topical Island style sand beach, Kenting is probably the most famous.

[@jamieandhannah_]

Interesting!! We would have loved to have visited Kenting, unfortunately not on this trip, but one day! Thank you 🙏

Thanks guys ❤ I know, we came to edit and there was 2 hours of the day missing! 😥 but there was just enough to salvage it! Woooo, can't wait to watch you guys explore it, it's such an amazing country, wait until you feel the warmth of the people! 🤗

Haha we loved riding the scooter around south east Asia and Taiwan wasn’t too difficult! A lot more rules on the road though 😁 It was a lot of fun!

100%! We have fallen in love with Taiwan and we want to come back to explore more - especially the South! Where else should we visit? 😊

@@jamieandhannah_ My recommendation are Taitung County, Kenting in Pingtung County, Kaohsiung City, Alishan in Chiayi County, Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County. Enjoy it.

​@@jamieandhannah_ I will recommend you to explore Lanyu and Xiaoliuqiu next time you come to Taiwan

[@bankerdave888]

Actually, the beach in Hualien is quite dangerous due to the unpredictable and large waves grabbing unsuspecting people into the ocean. Exercise caution and keep a safe distance from the water. There are more suitable beaches in Taiwan for swimming that are equipped with lifeguards and shark nets.

[@jamieandhannah_]

We can imagine it’s a dangerous beach, the waves were coming in fast. We definitely wouldn’t have gone in, it would be SO cold haha. Very beautiful though!

[@Leny1777]

A lot of people want what you guys have.
