[Talk] The Most Attractive Place in Taiwan
The Most Attractive Place In Taiwan
Taiwanese are always proud of addressing Taiwan island as a “island of
treasure” since you can find a great deal of species of animals and
plants ,some of which were only discovered in Taiwan and is full of natural
beauties because the topography of Taiwan island changes greatly from
high mountains to oceans across different climate zones.
Among those attractions and landscapes, I believe that “Hualien” is the
most remarkable I should recommend to people from all over the world.
Downtown Hualien, which should always be tourists first stop in eastern
Taiwan,is a small yet relatively prosper and leisure city. Even though it is
comparatively populated urban area among eastern Taiwan, it is definitely
not such a rush city where people always in a hurry. However, it is a city
for tourists to relax their bodies and ease their mind. When holiday comes,
Hualien City is always full of people coming from every part of Taiwan,
even overseas. compared with its small size of city, you still can find either
fancy modern restaurants or traditional food stands there.Most of them are
busy all the time and people always wait in a queue in front of the stores,
especially during the summer vacation.
Although there are loads of attractive tourist spots and cultural heritage for
people to visit, I think that Taroko national park and anything to do with
Taiwanese aboriginals are the most fantastic two parts you should never
miss at all.
It is well-known that there are more than ten aboriginal tribes in
Taiwan,who usually live in mountains and most low-developed areas in
Taiwan. Among them, there are at least four different tribes settling in
Hualien. Taiwanese aboriginals are famous for their traditional handicrafts,
clothes, and music.They are optimistic and hospitable, also good at
singing. Due to the lack of employment opportunities and population
immigration, many of them live a inferior life compared with average
citizens living standard. Luckily, owing to governments assistance and
folks promotion and education, their life is getting better and better and
many cultural activities, like the harvest festival, have become part of
traditional routine activities of Hualien and have brought positive influence
on well-balanced development between conservation and commerce.
Whats more, some traditional goods,like customs and instruments, have
also been widespread throughout Taiwan,even been introduced to other
countries,like a symbol of Taiwan.
Apart from people, Taroko national park is also a marvelous place you
must have it a look in Hualien. Having undergone thousands of years
erosion by rivers from central mountain range,Taroko canyon could be a
unparalleled landscape all over the world. It is hard to imagine that how
water could erode such a stiff granite mountain like Taroko.Some part of
the canyon are up to hundreds of metres high that you may be wondering
how incredible natural power is. Because of its reputation around the
world, you can meet tourists from a various countries throughout a year.
I remember that when I first time saw so magnificent a scene, I was totally
shocked and speechless. It really broadened my outlook at that moment.
Since I started to take photos, I could have an opportunity to get access to
some place I have never been before. Even though ongoing urbanisation
and development have broght conflicts between natural conservation and
tourist industry. Aboriginal rights is alos a controversial issue. However, it
is impossible to deny that moderate development has indeed promoted
cultural communication and stimulated the progress of economy in eastern
Taiwan. I truly hope that more and more people may know the place and
preserve it as well
