Overview

Taipingyang Park, also known as Pacific Park South, is a sprawling waterfront destination in Hualien City designed for coastal recreation. The park features extensive paved paths specifically marked for both cycling and pedestrian use, connecting to the broader Hualien coastline. It serves as a landscaped transition zone between the urban density of Hualien City and the rocky Pacific shoreline. The area includes large-scale public art installations, open grassy plazas, and child-friendly play zones. The coastal path offers unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean and is a primary segment of the Hualien seaside trail network. Maintenance includes integrated drainage systems to manage coastal erosion and monsoon exposure. The facility is fully accessible with ramps connecting the park to higher ground and adjacent neighborhoods.

Insider tips

Bring sun protection as the park is largely exposed with limited natural tree cover.

Check the local coastal weather forecast, as strong winds can make cycling difficult during the afternoon.

Utilize the bike rental stations located near the park entrances to cover the long trail distance efficiently.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim from the beach access points here, as the Hualien coastline features unpredictable currents and steep drop-offs.

Etiquette

Respect designated lanes for cyclists versus pedestrians to prevent collisions; keep noise levels low in designated resting areas.
