Taiwan East Coast: Clifflines & Rice Terraces
Last updated: October 1, 2025
Qingshui’s rock edge above blue water, Rift Valley’s green steps, and lanterns over bowls at night.
Qingshui Cliffs
Pullouts on a balcony road over Pacific blue—arrive early for calmer traffic and soft light.
Rift Valley Rice Terraces
Short walks between paddies; terraces stack to the hills; watch irrigation lines sparkle at dusk.
Night Markets (Hualien/Taitung)
Lantern rows, peppery skewers, and fruit ice—follow your nose and simple lines.
Practical & Bases
- Base: Hualien or Taitung; add a Rift Valley guesthouse night.
- Transit: coastal drive or trains; watch for typhoon closures.
- Etiquette: mind farm paths; pack out trash; drive slow through villages.
