One of the most iconic sights in Hualien, Qingshui Cliff Lookout offers a view that never fails to impress—no matter the season. Also known as Taroko Qingshui Cliff, this dramatic coastal landscape is where the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean crash against towering marble cliffs that rise steeply from the shoreline. It’s a moment where nature truly takes your breath away.

At the lookout point, a manmade viewing platform allows visitors to frame that perfect shot, with the cliffs as a majestic backdrop. It’s the kind of place where you can stand for minutes, simply mesmerized by the combination of blue ocean, green mountains, and white cliffs. Facilities are convenient too—there’s a small toilet nearby, making it an easy stop during a Taroko Gorge or Hualien road trip.

Adding a unique charm to the site are the two railway tracks that run through the mountainside. If you’re lucky, you might spot a train passing through the tunnel, cutting across this stunning natural landscape—a rare sight that blends human engineering with raw beauty.
