The park is situated at the northern end of Hualien's major coastal cycling trail system.
The lighthouse structure is a modern reconstruction designed to replace the aesthetic of the original navigational aids that once served the port.
The park area was reclaimed from the coast to stabilize the shoreline near the river mouth of the Meilun River.
It is a key vantage point for viewing the dawn light hitting the Coastal Mountain Range.
The site sits directly adjacent to the Hualien Port entrance, allowing for close-up observation of cargo and commercial shipping activity.
Hualien White Lighthouse Park is a coastal recreational area located along the Pacific shoreline of Hualien City. The park features a replica of a historic lighthouse, serving as a primary visual landmark in the Minyun Village district. It offers unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and serves as an integration point for local cycling paths. The area is engineered to mitigate coastal erosion while providing public access to the seawall. Visitors utilize the park to observe the contrast between the white structure and the deep blue water of the Philippine Sea. It is situated within the broader Hualien Port development zone.

Bring sun protection as the park is fully exposed to direct sunlight with minimal natural canopy.
Combine your visit with a rental bicycle to traverse the connected coastal paths.
Check local weather forecasts for high-tide warnings, as waves can impact the safety of the lower seawall paths.
Do not attempt to climb or scale the seawall blocks, as they are uneven and prone to slippery moss or surf-drenched surfaces.
Stay behind safety railings near the seawall; high surf can be dangerous.
