Scenic spot introduction:

Taiwan's Chihsingtan is a crescent-shaped bay located on the protruding side of Meilunbi. The seawater is clean and blue, the black rocks are crystal clear, and you can see the lush green mountains and the long road in the distance. Its seascape is vast, and the sunrise scenery is comparable to that of Alishan. The Discovery Channel has also come here to shoot the sunrise wonders at sea, which shows its international style. The poetic name of Chihsingtan is said to be located in the area of Hualien Normal University and Hualien Airport. In the early years, there were scattered lakes, which were later filled in due to construction needs.
