Qixingtan Beach, Hualien

Qixingtan Beach delivers the most accessible sunrise spectacle on Taiwan's east coast, with the Pacific meeting the Central Mountain Range in a 180-degree vista. Its unique smooth pebbles, over 90% composed of marble and quartz, produce a distinctive sound underfoot absent from sandy shores like #9 Shanshui Beach. A 3-kilometer coastal bike path connects to Hualien City, offering 30% more viewing platforms than the typical pebble beach in Taiwan.
