Hualien
May 1-3, 2002
| Hualien is the largest city on Taiwan's east coast. It's a picturesque town, and its slow pace was a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of Taipei. And I had some of the best dumplings I have ever tasted at a restaurant in the night market. For the tourist, Hualien's main attraction is its close proximity to the Taroko Gorge National Park. |
