[edit] Get around

[edit] By Bus

The bus station heading south to Taitung is to the left as you come out of the Hualien Train Station. Buses travel down the scenic Highway 11, and usually transfer in Jing Pu, near Big Harbor and the famous Big Red Bridge. Try the homemade dumplings at the noodle shop in JingPu while your waiting!

[edit] By Train

Trains travel down the East Rift Valley National Scenic Area and are perhaps the most convient way to travel from Taitung to Hualien. Spend a few days slowly making your way down this area. The sightseeing is the best in Taiwan for those that love nature and beauty.

[edit] Tour Van

Pick up and return to Taitung or Hualien. American driver/tour operator.
