I am so glad that we decided to drive along the coastline. It was indeed one of the highlight of our trip. there are many tourist spots and amazing beaches along the coastline that stretches from Taitung to Hualien.

We did a fairly comprehensive East Coast road trip from Hualien all the way to Taitung and up again into Taroko and then to the other side of the island. There were many memorable sights and the area is still pretty unexplored if you avoid some tourist traps along the way. In my travel blog, I detail the trip we made and give tips/advice. www.helenaaroundtheworld.blogspot.com

It was a great trip to hire a car and drive among the long coastline in the summer.

The Eight immortals bridge was unique as so was pebble beach. Unforgettable walking across the eight arches. Allow plenty of time to get to the lighthouse on the other side.

While the mountains are lovely the tourist highlights along this coast are very over-rated except for the eight immortals bridge, which is terrific and worth a long stop.
