Although not high in altitude, the scenery is absolutely stunning, offering a 360-degree panoramic view of mountains, the sea, and the city below. Named Qiqi Highland due to its elevation of 77 meters, it was previously a restricted military zone. The path passes by pillboxes and the walls of abandoned military camps, adding a sense of adventure. However, accompanied by birdsong, fragrant flowers, and the sound of waves, the walk is relaxed and pleasant. Here, you can see the estuary of the Hualien River, where the river water and the Pacific Ocean collide, which is also the origin of Hualien's old name 'Huilán' (meaning swirling waves). You can also gaze at the starting point of the Coastal Mountain Range, and the cities of Hualien and Ji'an. The boundless mountain and sea landscape opens up the hearts of visitors who ascend to admire the view. During summer, be mindful of insects, mosquitoes, snakes, and ants, as well as the risks of heatstroke. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or a scenery admirer, Qiqi Highland is definitely worth recommending on any tourist list, truly a one-in-a-million choice. Visitors are advised to wear long sleeves, avoid perfumes, and be aware of the presence of venomous snakes, hornets, and macaques. Please stay on the trails and abide by wildlife conservation laws. Due to the aging military structures, please do not lean heavily on the railings to avoid danger, especially in inclement weather.
