Unboxing the most beautiful coastline in Taitung | Self-driving sea view highway from Shitiping + Sanxiantai, breathtakingly beautiful all the way from Hualien!

☕ Route arrangement suggestion (self-driving) 📍It is recommended to start from Hualien, pass Shitiping → lunch in Chenggong Town (seafood street) at noon → Sanxiantai in the afternoon 🚗This self-driving trip to Taitung is definitely "stop at any scenic spot, every stop is like a postcard"! 📍First stop: Shitiping ⏱ Recommended stay time: 1.5~2 hours 🗺 Address: Shitiwan, Gangkou Village, Fengbin Township, Hualien County 🎫 Fee: Free 🚘 Parking lot: NTD 100 🌊 Shitiping = Nature's Sculpture Exhibition Hall + Natural Intertidal Zone Classroom The entire terrain is volcanic rock plus sea erosion landforms. The rocks look like alien relics, as if walking on the surface of Mars, it is really shocking! 📸 Recommended photography: The "sea viewing platform" at the end of the rocky shore, 360° without blind spots to watch the waves hitting the rocks Low-angle shots of the rock formations and the sky, super blockbuster feeling! If the tide is out, you can also see many intertidal creatures (small crabs, small fish, sea cucumbers🦀) 📌Tips: It is recommended to wear shoes with good grip, the rocks are slightly slippery but not difficult to walk (pay attention to safety⚠️) The light is super good for taking pictures on sunny days, but the sun is super strong, be sure to wear sunscreen + hat! 📍Second stop: Sanxiantai ⏱ Recommended stay time: 1-1.5 hours 🗺 Address: No. 74, Jihui Road, Sanxianli, Chenggong Town, Taitung County 🎫 Fees: Free admission 🚘 Parking lot: NTD 50 Legend has it that three immortals, Lü Dongbin, Li Tieguai, and He Xiangu, once landed here, hence the name "Sanxiantai". The entire area is connected by an offshore island + eight-arch bridge, and the trail is about 400 meters long ☁️Standing on the bridge, you can overlook the entire coastline and coral reefs. The scenery is ever-changing. When the weather is good, the sky and the sea are connected in a line, which is beautiful! . 🎒We challenged ourselves to walk onto the bridge and walked step by step to the island on the other side. We could overlook the entire Pacific Ocean along the way. It was windy but super cool! 📸 Recommended photography: Long-range shot of the starting point of the arch bridge (with the arch + blue sea) Overhead view from the bridge You can overlook the entire bridge from a high point on the island (recommended to climb, but the wind is very strong!) 📌Tips: The wind is very strong during the typhoon season! Hold on to your hat🤣 The whole journey is exposed to the sun, the bridge is about 1 kilometer long, remember to bring water and sunscreen! ! ! Thoughts: The entire section of Provincial Highway 11 along the coast is simply a perfect visual impact of "Coastal Mountains vs. Pacific Ocean". You can see different sea views + mountains at every turn. It is recommended to drive slower, stop a few times to take pictures or blow the wind at the beach! Be sure to have a good rest when you go to Tainan City at night! #The most beautiful highway on Provincial Highway 11 #Travel along the Hualien-Taitung Coast #Shitiping #Sanxiantai #Taitung check-in spots #Self-driving travel recommendations #Taiwan natural beauty #Free attractions recommendations #East Coast travel #Photography beyond the movie #Taiwan attractions sharing #Taitung travel lazy package #Pacific Ocean viewing list
