Eastern Taiwan: A Hidden Gem of Majestic Nature and Indigenous Culture

Eastern Taiwan, consisting of Hualien and Taitung counties, is an area of vast, untouched natural beauty nestled between the Central Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean. Due to its relatively late development, it is often called Taiwan's "last frontier," a place where time seems to flow more slowly. Its main attractions are its beautiful coastline, rugged gorges, lush countryside, and diverse indigenous cultures.
