I visited Qixingtan in April 2012 and I want to visit again the next time I travel to Hualien. It is such a long beach it stretches into the distance in either direction. It is never too crowded because it is so long. The most unique thing about this place is that the beach is made up of a multitude... More

Went in end March, weather wasn't very good that day (cloudy). Its a quiet and wide beach full of pebbles instead of sand. View was nice even though it was cloudy. Location was quite off but seems like you will be brought to there if you hired a cabby for a one-day tour in Hualien. Saw lots of dead puffer... More

The beach is close to town and easy to get to. If you are spending several days in Hualien and the weather is great it might be worth while. More

Long stretch of pebbly beach facing the Pacific. Lined with a well-kept bicycle trail. Very windy, few stores in the vicinity. More

One amazing thing about this beach is that the beach is not sandy but full of rocks! Something that is hardly seen but it is so spectacular. It is windy and it is a nice place to sit and chill. The waves are strong, not recommended to swim (cab driver would usually suggest not to swim as well). More

The beach is covered with sharp rocks on the shore and in the water. We call it a good luck since people has not built any resort or restaurant around and keep it as wonderful as it is until now. There’s a bike rental service so we had a great time cycling on the road and sightseeing the beach. Taiwan... More

The ocean view, waves, sun rise view were really awesome. There is well constructed cycling tracks. Most B&B there offer cycles to residents. We love the beach stones. Works of God.

The beach was super windy where we were there ~ we enjoyed standing at the beach side, savoring the moment- the wind blowing onto our faces, the sound of the big splashes of the waves and the sight of each waves hitting the rocks ~~ just wonderful :-) !! More

It's a very peaceful place and a good view of the Pacific Ocean. The water spray from the sea was very refreshing. More
