Hualien Cruise Shuttles

Along the island-nation of Taiwan’s eastern shores, Hualien City is a large seaside metropolis known for its old gardens and unique stone-centric architecture. The large terminal is home to a cement promenade without coverage, as well as attached access to a walkable warship. Nearby ways of getting around include the tranquil Hualien Harbor Ferry Terminal down the street, while a long and winding greenbelt offers semi-waterfront views that run parallel to Hai’an Road. Other close forms of public transportation include the nearby Hualien Port Train Station just off shore, while the slightly further Hualien Harbor offers ferry transfers along the shoreline. Meet-and-greet services go even further with a wide variety of drop offs that include taxis perfect for arriving to all-in-one spaces like Taroko National Park, local personal drivers offering special moments through unique Taiwan hideaways.

With so many landmarks close to the cruise port, a variety of distinguished waterside getaways can be reached through the connected greenbelt - stop by Nanbin Park for a renowned oceanside, afterward shopping for a bit at Dongdamen Night Market. Between morning and sunset, look forward to fleeting moments of beauty, either through the popular whale watching tourist attraction at the Hualien Leisure Marina, or stoic lookouts of the water from the quiet Chiliaibi Lighthouse. Inland are a variety of hiking paths perfect for seeing the distance, whether it be through Zuotang Trail’s relaxed waterfall views from jumbo patios or crossings at delicate bridges. And of course, no evening in Taiwan can be completed without a sip of authentic Taiwanese tea, a delicacy at the port-side Mei Lub Black Tea, unique eateries great for a full meal including the barbecue of Salt Like/Chicago, as well as an American-friendly menu at Three Koalas.
