Taiwan's East Coast No One Talks About

Everyone flocks to Taipei's night markets and Taroko Gorge's crowds. Meanwhile, Taiwan's east coast sits empty. I drove north of Hualien expecting the usual tourist swarm. Instead: dramatic cliffs, turquoise water, and complete silence. Not a single tour bus. No selfie sticks. Just me and views that belong on postcards. Turns out most visitors stick to the west or rush through the east coast highlights. They miss the stretches between—the unnamed lookouts, the fishing villages that don't make guidebooks, the beaches where you can actually think. Taiwan's east coast doesn't need to be discovered by everyone. But if you're tired of sharing your sunset with fifty strangers, this coastline delivers what travel promises but rarely gives: space to breathe. 🌊 #HiddenTaiwan #OffTheBeatenPath #TravelSecrets #Travel
