Qixingtan is a long crescent-shaped coast. What Qixingtan is known for is its magnificent bay. It is quite suitable for watching the sunrise, enjoying the stars and admiring the moon. Not only is it loved by tourists, but because it is close to Hualien City, many people are used to coming to the seaside for a walk after work and enjoying the summer afterglow and beach charm. In summer, as early as 5 o’clock in the morning, you can see the fiery red sun rising from the sea. The sunrise in the east illuminates Qixingtan. The sparkling sea surface is full of light and hope. If you want to enjoy the stars at night, you should choose a night without moonlight. In addition to having a complete astronomy class on the beach without light pollution, even the Milky Way will clearly appear in front of you. The bicycle route of the two ponds in Hualien is from Qixingtan to Liyutan. Starting from the ‘Deyan Coastal Botanical Garden’ is the starting point of the bicycle path. Entering the Qixingtan Scenic Area, you can travel along the beautiful crescent bay. This is the most beautiful part of the entire single lane. Going further south, you can climb up to the 48 Highlands and the Environmental Protection Park through wooden ladders and then enter the Hualien Port and Nanbin Park area. This section of the road is close to the Hualien Port and often advances side by side with cargo ships. It is like a fierce competition between iron horses and giant ships, which is very interesting. Opening hours: Open all day all year round. Service facilities: Barrier-free services: Barrier-free parking lot, barrier-free entrance. Must-see tips: 1. The beach of Qixingtan is not sandy, but composed of smaller pebbles. It is a bit uncomfortable to walk on the stones barefoot. It is recommended not to walk on the stones barefoot. 2. You can rent a bicycle at Hualien Railway Station. It is about 7 kilometers to reach Qixingtan by bike. You can also choose to rent it in the scenic area, or you can ask if the homestay provides bicycle borrowing services. 3. When strolling or cycling on the beach, pay attention to the rogue waves (suddenly rolled up fierce waves, which are easy to be swept away and very dangerous). Do not go if there is a typhoon. 4. Due to the lack of shelter and strong sunlight, pay attention to sun protection and replenish water. 5. Since it is a fault beach, the water depth will suddenly increase, so it is not suitable for playing in the sea.
