🏘️ Hualien｜A new town where time has stopped

Hualien's Xincheng is like stepping into a small town where time flows slowly. It lacks a bustling commercial district, but instead boasts old houses, the fragrance of cypress trees, and quiet streets. Strolling through the alleys, you'll encounter fading Japanese-style dormitories and old churches, a scene that feels like being transported back to the Showa era. The town is small, yet its nostalgic atmosphere captivates you, inviting you to slow down.

Beyond the age-old traces of the old houses, Xincheng also boasts local delicacies and tofu pudding shops, preserving a simple, human touch. To me, this place feels like a page from an old photo album of Hualien, revealing the simplest landscapes and life. It's perfect for an afternoon spent immersing yourself in its tranquility and warmth.
