This video was filmed before the earthquake in April 2024. While Hualien City is mostly back to normal business, Taroko Gorge was severely damaged and is currently partially opened (as of Aug 2024).

My family is originally from Taiwan. While I’m Singaporean citizen. I love both Taiwan and Singapore. But I love Taiwan’ amazing nature, scenery, people and Food

Hualien is such an incredible place, and having a piece of it through your goody bag would be amazing. I can't wait to see what treasures you’ve picked out and how they reflect the beauty and culture of Hualien.

Thank you for this opportunity and for continuously sharing your adventures with us!

I was born in Taiwan but grew up in Singapore, I can identify with both cultures. Have a fun & safe trip!

[kenmanla]

As a Taiwanese who lives in Singapore, its really great to see so many ppl like you also like Taiwan! Thanks for your amazing video.

[lucaslike]

I want to visit Hualien after seeing what you have shown us - to experience the epic and vibrant atmosphere plus recharging energy. Thank you very much...

A good holiday starts with a comfy flight. Glad to see that you enjoyed the service with EVA Air. My hubby and I visited Taipei once many years back when our no.1 was still a baby. I hope to be able to bring my duo, now teens to visit eastern coast of Taiwan especially Hualien to experience the tranquility and appreciate the city's scenery. I'll definitely save this to my YT playlist for reference. Thanks for the amazing video, Ghib!

For a moment I thought Taroko Gorge had been restored to its original state😅 but read further in your comment that this was filmed before the earthquake…….And so, here’s what went thru my mind initially that you were doing this video to promote Hualian and make this lovely destination worth visiting again. 😊. We all heard and experience Eva Air and Taiwan’s hospitality and it’s really so heartwarming for you to show how you experience it too. We will always love Taiwan as it’s like a 2nd home for our family and a place we chill catching up with their street foods, warmth friendship and all the amazing mother nature has to offer🥰

We love Taiwan❤

Been thru Taroko Gorge while driving thru Taipei and pass Hualien, just realised that we had missed such a beautiful place. Really looks like heaven on earth! Can't wait to go back to Hualien again & really stay at least a week there! Thanks Ghib for showing us what a beautiful place Hualien is and remind us that we should always find time to realise our dream before te catches up.with us! ❤

I've seen so many videos about Taiwan but I like how you took us away from the usual places. We were able to see some beautiful hidden gems and I appreciate that . I have so many places on my list to see and Taiwan is definitely one of them . Huallen is now a must see I want to experience its beauty and not have to deal with the hustle and bustle of thousands of people. Just give me a great cultural experience fresh air and an amazing view and I'm in heaven 😊

Thank you, Ghib, for the fantastic introduction to Hualien. The delicious food at Dongdamen Night Market made my mouth water even after I had dinner. The breathtaking view at QiXingTan Lake was truly awe-inspiring. Lastly, the footage of Taroko Gorge was especially captivating. Keep up the excellent work! I eagerly anticipate your future videos from other countries. You and your wife truly deserve this trip.

[jrlim]

My family and I were in Hualien 1 week before the earthquake happened. It was sad to hear that because we had fond memories of the trip. I would love to go back there again!

[Star-]

Needless to say, it's your video that makes me wanna go to Hualien now! 💖

[fionanananana]

So happy for you that you are having a fantastic time there. You chose your escape destination well! Thanks for all the recommendations, they gave me a solid list for our family trip to Taiwan. Cheers!

[cheryllim]

Hua Lien allows me to enjoy life with great scenery view and time to sink my teeth into sumptuous food after watching your video. I was not there for 10 years. It brings me the unforgettable memories. In love with Hualien once again!

[kungfudunk]

Wah I went to Hualien and Taroko Gorge 10 years ago, in awe of how beautiful the place and people are. It's a nice place to live, enjoy Taiwan! Should explore as much as you can in your 20s and 30s.

I went to Hualien last Nov, and I was blown away by the Taroka National Park, so beautiful, majestic, mesmerizing. I have a friend there, and it was also my first time driving his car, on the left side, nervous but fun!! Would love to go back again!!

[jamesjuze]

Me and my wife went to Taiwan together about 12 years ago for our pre wedding photoshoot and absolutely loved it. Especially the 3 days we sent in a homestay in Hualien was unforgettable.. the slight smell of roses, we still remember till this day and looking out of our windows were some incredible mountain views (on a good day). Really enjoyed ourselves at Taroko gorge brought around by a local guide and it was just core memories made that will stay with us for life. Would love to visit Taiwan again sometime

[wilsonpaladin]

Taiwan is one of my favourite place to go and I have been to Hualien each time I went to Taiwan. Hualien is like a painting and I get reminded how beautiful nature is each time I visit Hualien's attractions! Not to mention the Taiwanese hospitality and they are so friendly!
