#resort #100 ways to travel The long-established and well-known resort hotel #意大地 in Shoufeng Township, Hualien, has always given people the illusion of a luxurious vacation, with a romantic Spanish feel. The huge park also has its own river channel where small boats can sail through, as if it is creating a Taiwanese version of Venice. It is super attractive! Fortunately, I bought a coupon at the travel fair, and immediately planned a three-day and two-night trip to Hualien, one of which was to spend a whole day in Ideal Land! The room we stayed in was very special, with a Spanish Bohemian feel, giving us the illusion of being on vacation in Europe in an instant. But the most attractive thing is the boat tour of Ideal Land! Take a light boat from Pier 6, shuttle across the river arch bridge, and admire the buildings and flowers on the shore. A 15-minute tour, accompanied by the tour guide's relaxed and humorous commentary, is really highly recommended! There are 16 bridges of different styles and 7 beautiful piers, which are breathtakingly beautiful. As a resort, Ideal Land has various entertainment and experience facilities. In addition to the standard facilities such as the gym, children's play area, and parent-child paddling pool, there are also an island swimming pool, a cave swimming pool, a fishing platform, a prairie, etc. The park is so large that it is impossible to walk around. In addition, the park also has a natural ecological park and an ecological bamboo raft tour, allowing visitors to get closer to nature and experience the beautiful mountains and waters of Hualien. It is really thoughtful. However, you need to make reservations in advance for any experience activities, after all, the number of places is limited! #HualienTravel #Resort #IdealLand #Shoufeng #100TravelWays

Taroko Gorge: A Marble-Carved Geological Epic, Nature's Sanctuary in Eastern Taiwan I. Geography & Core Landscapes Located within Taroko National Park in Hualien County, Taroko Gorge is a world-class canyon wonder formed by the Liwu River's million-year erosion through marble strata. Spanning approximately 20km with vertical cliffs reaching 1,000m, its knife-cut marble walls have been nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage candidate. Key highlights include: - Jiuqudong (Tunnel of Nine Turns) Trail: A 700m tunnel complex clinging to cliffs, where natural rock patterns resemble abstract art, offering breathtaking "sliver of sky" views. - Swallow Grotto Trail: Named for nesting swallows, this trail features open-air sections overlooking rushing rapids and seasonal waterfalls cascading down marble walls. - Eternal Spring Shrine: A memorial for highway construction martyrs, its red walls and white waterfall create a stunning contrast against marble cliffs. The rear trail leads to 380m-high "Taroko Eternal Spring" inscriptions. II. Transportation & Itinerary Planning 1. External Transport - Train + Shuttle: Take TRA from Taipei to Hualien Station (~2hrs), then transfer to "Taiwan Trip Taroko Line" bus (40min, NT$140) directly to the park. - Chartered Car/Rental: ~NT$2500/day from Hualien city, allowing stops at Qingshui Cliffs and Qixingtan Beach for flexibility. 2. Internal Exploration - Classic Route: Taroko Arch Gate → Eternal Spring Shrine → Swallow Grotto → Tunnel of Nine Turns → Tianxiang (~5hrs total). Start early to avoid crowds. - Hiking Options: Shakadang Trail (4.1km roundtrip, 4-6hrs) explores primeval forests; Zhuilu Old Trail (requires 30-day advance permit) offers cliffside panoramic views. III. Must-Do Experiences & Tips - Golden Photography Hours: 1hr post-sunrise & 2hrs pre-sunset when marble walls glow gold, especially in Tunnel of Nine Turns. - Cultural Immersion: Visit Buluowan Tribal Culture Center for Taroko weaving workshops or join eco-tours (NT$800/person) to White Azalea Camp. - Safety Notes: 1. Wear provided helmets at all times against falling rocks. 2. Some trails may close during rainy season (May-Sept) – check official alerts. 3. Wear anti-slip shoes, carry rain gear and water (no supply points on trails). IV. Nearby Attractions & Accommodations - Day Trip Combo: Morning at Taroko, afternoon at Qingshui Cliffs (20min drive) for Pacific Ocean vistas, evening stargazing at Qixingtan Beach. - Stay Options: - Tianxiang Youth Activity Center: Deep in the gorge for exclusive dawn tranquility (NT$1500/night). - Hualien City B&Bs: Convenient for next-day travel. Recommended: "Promisedland Resort & Lagoon" with family DIY workshops and canal cruises. V. Seasonal Highlights & Considerations - Spring (Mar-Apr): Cherry blossoms and white azaleas bloom; Wenshan Trail offers misty Qilai Mountain Range views. - Summer (Jun-Aug): Bring mosquito repellent, sun protection, and light jackets (10°C temperature drops in canyon). Avoid afternoon thunderstorms. - Autumn (Sep-Nov): Maple leaves adorn the gorge during Taroko Marathon season. - Winter (Dec-Feb): Occasional snow turns Eternal Spring Shrine's waterfall into ice formations – watch for slippery trails. Taroko Gorge's unique blend of grandeur and grace makes it Taiwan's most iconic natural landmark. Whether hiking or photographing, visitors marvel at Earth's sculptural mastery. Always verify trail statuses beforehand to ensure a fulfilling dialogue with nature.

Our first family trip to Promised Land Resort was amazing, but our biggest regret was only planning a two-day, one-night stay. The resort spans a vast ecological park, perfect for leisurely strolls. It also features a kids' playhouse, an island swimming pool, a heated pool, and various free or paid activities to enjoy. Staying for just two days isn't enough to explore everything the resort has to offer. Next time, we hope to have more time to relax and fully enjoy Hualien's stunning natural beauty. Address: No. 1, Lixiang Road, Shoufeng Township, Hualien County, Taiwan

Enjoy 10% off Hualien sightseeing bus with friends We visited the ruins of a large prehistoric jade workshop in the Archaeological Museum, had a meal at the Ideal Land Wedding Banquet Venue, toured the lake and strolled in the park, took many beautiful photos in the Yunshanshui Castle Park, and visited the Railway Culture Park (narrow-gauge railway ruins). We stayed overnight at the Royal Hyatt mansion owned by friends and classmates, and then visited the nearby Royal Hyatt Night Market. We returned to the mansion with a table full of delicious food brought by friends, and spent a wonderful night in laughter and joy!

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Ideal Land is located in Shoufeng Township. The hotel is surrounded by mountains and has beautiful scenery. The room is very spacious, the bathroom is also very large, and the room also has a balcony facing the canal in the park, and you can watch the goodnight cruise at night. The resort is very large and there are many activities inside, including swimming pools, spas, canal boat trips, etc. You won’t be bored even if it rains or you stay in the resort. In addition, it is recommended to have dinner at the hotel’s Lila buffet, which has Hualien’s specialties. However, the dinner time is divided into two parts, so it will be a bit rushed to eat, but it is still recommended to have a night and two meals to relax!

This time's stay review: Overall experience was good, the outdoor garden and public areas are well-maintained. However, the rooms show signs of aging, but it doesn't overshadow the overall experience. ✅ Exotic Atmosphere: The European architecture and the interspersed artificial canals make you feel like you're in Italy. I especially love the plants and trees here, which blend perfectly with the buildings. I saw several walls with beautiful plants, which must be well taken care of to grow so well. ✅ Spacious Rooms: The balcony offers views of the park's landscaping and canals, but since it's an older hotel, there's a bit of a musty smell, and there were ants on the bed. 😟 ✅ Rich Activities: Guests can enjoy a free boat ride once, while other activities like archery, bamboo rafting, and a small train ride require additional fees. ✅ Dinner: We dined at the on-site restaurant, the Taiwanese dishes we ordered were to our taste and reasonably priced.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Hualien Friends who live in the ideal land can take advantage of the geographical advantages Take photos at Starbucks in the morning when there are no tourists Wooden house-style building + lake view + green grass It feels a bit like the Dutch village of Giethoorn If you come in autumn or winter, you can see larch trees. Reminder: The waterfront park of Ideal Land is currently under renovation Starbucks is temporarily closed.

It was my first time to visit Ideal Land, and I felt very experienced. Maybe the weather also played a role. The blue sky and white clouds contrasted with the green mountains and trees, which was very comfortable visually, just like the scenery in a postcard. In addition, the buildings in the resort are very cute and very exotic. It feels like being abroad and is suitable for family travel and relaxation.

Hualien has had the Internet celebrity Starbucks since last year ☕ Originally, I drank coffee and went on a pilgrimage. I had to wait 30 minutes for one cup and then enjoy the scenery slowly before drinking coffee. But after the disaster... There is no continuous holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival this year🤣😂Using the ordinary days in September, Hualien people travel all the way south to South Hualien😍😋 Hmm…I wonder if the days without tourists will last until 2025😅🤣 I came back after a year, the most famous A2 waterfront Starbucks in Hualien ☕ The popular coffee shop doesn't have many customers anymore. Starbucks is 40% off after designated consumption in Hualien. The boat tour that was planned last year has been completed. Locals only need to pay 63 yuan per round to go to the park. There are too few people, almost enough for couples to charter a boat. I hope the tourist crowd will recover soon. #travelcoolexperience #coupletravel #outingflowerviewingtime #naturalwonders #romanticthings #familytravel

#familytravel #fengshuibaodi #beautifulcheck-in spot #Taiwan #Hualienidealhotel #superbeautifulscenery #paradise #resort #youwilln'tregretitcomingonceinyourlife 📍Address: No. 1, Ideal Road, Shoufeng Township, Hualien County 💞Recommendation reason: The scenery is so beautiful that you will want to come again after visiting it once 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: There is a children's swimming pool and spa. There is also a free boat ride around the accommodation area in the hotel!

The most beautiful resort is in Taiwan! Although Ideal Land has entered its 23rd year, the wood in the rooms is still antique and unique, and the service staff is friendly and attentive. Before boarding the boat, the captain would first clean up the garbage of the passengers in front of us before letting us on board, which made me feel like I had arrived in the Japanese version of Europe. There are very few restaurants that would make me want to go a second time, and this one would definitely be my first choice the second time. #Hualien #Idealland

The "Starbucks Hualien Ideal Store" is known as the most European fairy tale cottage. It is located next to the Ideal Land. If you ask me, I think the most beautiful thing about it is that it is located by the Bald Cypress Lake. It looks very atmospheric. If you pass by here, you can come and have a look, but there will definitely be a lot of people (laughs). There is another Hualien Bald Cypress attraction, and I am very happy. Address: No. 289, Section 3, Fengping Road, Shoufeng Township, Hualien County Opening hours: 0800~2000 Tel: (03) 865-0895 There is an outdoor area behind the door of Starbucks, which is great for taking photos! You can also see the scenery of the mountains and rivers. I think the best thing about it is that it is located by the lake and surrounded by bald cypress. It has different beauty in each season. I am looking forward to seeing it turn yellow. #Hualien Starbucks #Hualien Free Attractions #bald cypress

#Hualien #HualienAttractions #HualienTravel#StarbucksCoffee #StarbucksCoffeeShop #StarbucksWithBeautifulViews There is a natural lake surrounded by mountains, and a "Starbucks" that looks like a mushroom house in a fairy tale built on the sandbar is not at all inconsistent. You can choose to enjoy coffee indoors, take an electric boat to tour the lake, or stand by the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and a whole row of larch trees.

The last stop of three days and two nights, beautiful scenery and delicious dinner The romantic lake cruise is the only hotel in Taiwan selected as one of the world's top 100 hotels and is known as a "place to elevate the soul." The park is home to a #family-friendly Spanish-style riverside villa

There are many well-known hotels in Hualien and Taitung areas, such as Farglory Hotel, Naruwan, The GAYA hotel, etc. Ideal Land has always been standing firm in the Hualien area, but! That was only 10 years ago! Today's hardware equipment only makes people feel old and broken, Taiwanese service does not match the Western decoration style, the overall leisure and entertainment costs are of poor quality and expensive, and the quality of hotels and restaurants is just okay, as can be seen in special articles. The cruise ship guide said that the development of the Ideal Land Park is still limited, and there are still a large number of areas waiting for later construction. Starbucks will also be stationed in the future, let us wait and see! #Hualien Vacation #Reverse #oldandold
