Its unique exterior design looks like Taiwan’s version of the Sydney Opera House.

Huilan Bay is located along Hualien’s coastline, boasting dreamy seascapes and abundant natural resources. The hotel’s floor-to-ceiling windows and rich greenery combine sustainable development, smart technology, and energy efficiency. Visitors can not only take beautiful photos here but also learn about future architectural trends and related knowledge.
