Riding along Hualien's and Taitung's Coast
Huadong Long Valley is a valley about 180 kilometers long from north to south after meeting the Eurasian continental plate and the Philippine Sea plate. It is located between the central mountain range and the coastal mountain range. It is named after it spans Hualien County and Taitung County. The central mountain range has relatively good air barriers and climate effects, and the valley agriculture is developed. Because the Huadong Longan Valley is an extremely special terrain landscape in Taiwan, it has become a tourist destination. In addition, because Hualien City and Taitung City are located at the north and south ends of the Long Valley, they are eastern transportation hubs. Shoufeng, Fenglin, Guangfu, Ruisui, Yuli, Fuli, Chishang, Guanshan, Luye and other towns not only have their own tourist characteristics, but also the railway stations are also two-iron train stations, which are very suitable for the Huadong Long Valley Riding Tour with Hualien City as the starting point and Taitung City as the end point. In terms of the selection of scenic spot themes, since each season of Long Valley has different appearances, such as the sea of rapeseed flowers and cosmos in mid-January, the golden rice waves before rice harvesting around June and November, the hot air balloon season between July and August, and even the theme of exploring the history and humanities of the Long Valley ethnic group, you can arrange a trip to the Huadong Long Valley Riding to relieve your body and mind through different themes.
