-Introduction to attractions-

• The Bulowan Suspension Bridge is located in the Bulowan Recreation Area in Taroko. It was the longest iron suspension bridge in Liwu River during the Japanese occupation. After 2 years and 9 months of construction, the fourth-generation Buluowan Suspension Bridge was completed in 2019 and will be open for viewing by appointment in August 2020. The Buluowan Suspension Bridge is 196 meters long and 156 meters away from the valley. It has a magnificent view of the canyon. There are observation decks at both ends of the suspension bridge, and you can have a panoramic view of Yanzikou Canyon, Buluowan Platform and Liwu River.
  
  
• Baiyang Falls needs to be accessed via Baiyang Trail. There are viewing platforms along the trail for travelers to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the canyon. Baiyang Waterfall is located where Sanzhan River cuts into the Liwu River estuary. It is the largest and most spectacular cliff waterfall known in Taroko National Park. It is called "Daolas Waterfall" by the Taroko people.
  
  
• Jiuqudong is one of the most essential sections of the Taroko Gorge. The trail is 700 meters long and you need to retrace your steps. Walk along the trail to appreciate the uncanny workmanship of nature. The faults, joints, folds and other topography on the marble walls, as well as the rock plants that thrive on the cliffs, are all key points worth observing.
  
  
• Liyu Lake is located in Liyu Lake in Shoufeng, Hualien. It is the largest inland lake in the Hualien area. The scenery of the lake and mountains is particularly charming. It is a quiet and holy place known to locals and tourists. Located at the northernmost end of the East Longitudinal Valley National Scenic Area, it is a barrier lake formed by the tributaries of Papaya Creek and Hualien Creek. It is famous as a mountain lake because the mountains accompanying it resemble carps. There is a local slang saying "There are carps on Carp Mountain, and they swim in the water of Carp Pond" which is the most appropriate portrayal.
  
  
• Guangfu Sugar Factory The Hualien Tourist Sugar Factory, also known as Guangfu Sugar Factory, was established during the Japanese colonial period. It is a resting place for many cyclists. The sugar factory sells a variety of ice products, sweet and creamy ice cream, and Qin. The cool and slightly sweet popsicle makes you feel satisfied after taking one bite. In addition to eating ice cream, you can also experience DIY craft courses, ride iron horses to visit the park, and provide Japanese-style dormitories for tourists to stay. It is a tourist sugar factory not to be missed in Hualien.
