The path is constructed on a 'stepped' design to accommodate the uneven, jagged cliff face.
The glass floor section is specifically tempered to withstand the high-salt, high-wind environment of the Pacific coastline.
The area is geologically significant for its clear exposure of tectonic uplift markers on the Hualien coast.
The skywalk was built to revitalize a portion of the old coastal path that had been abandoned for years.
The path specifically traverses the area known as the Qingsuili coastal terrace.
Fengbin Skywalk, officially known as the Qingsuili Skywalk, is a cliffside pedestrian path located along Taiwan's Highway 11 in Hualien County. The structure features a transparent, glass-floored section that hangs directly over the Pacific Ocean waves crashing against the rocky cliffs below. It is built upon the remnants of the old Xinshe cliff trail, integrating natural geology with a reinforced concrete and glass framework. The path extends approximately 150 meters along the coastline, offering direct views of the rugged basalt formations and sea erosion caves. The site is elevated significantly above the sea level, providing a panoramic perspective of the East Coast National Scenic Area. It was constructed to replace the former hazardous mountain trails, allowing safer access to the coastal scenery. The trail is fully managed by the local Fengbin Township Office.

Wear comfortable, flat-soled walking shoes for stability on the metallic and glass grating.
Check local weather reports for high wind warnings, as the exposed cliffside can become treacherous during storms.
Carry sun protection, as there is zero shade along the entire length of the cliff path.
Do not attempt to climb or jump over the perimeter safety railings; ignore the temptation to lean far over the edge for photos.
Closed on Wednesdays for maintenance; may close temporarily during severe weather or typhoon warnings.
Maintain a steady pace to avoid congestion on the glass section; do not jump or run on the reinforced floor panels.
