[Family Travel]Hualien Skywalk: Marvel at Stunning Ocean Views at Qinzhibuziduan Cliff

Chen May

Located in Fengbin, the Hualien Skywalk is the newest attraction in Hualien, also known as "Qinzhibuziduan Cliff." Legend has it that during the Japanese colonial period, a couple was walking this trail with their child when the husband accidentally fell off the cliff into the sea. Seeing this, the wife tied their child to the edge of the cliff and jumped into the ocean to save her husband, but both parents were eventually swept away by the waves, leaving the child to be raised by the local tribe.

The child grew up never knowing who his real parents were. However, there are other versions of the story—for instance, some say it was the child, not the parents, who fell into the water. But because the cliff was so dangerous and difficult to climb, the parents only realized their child was missing after they had already moved away from the edge.

The Hualien Skywalk is situated in Fengbin Township, Hualien. It takes about an hour to drive here from downtown Hualien, and the entrance is right next to the Xinfeng Tunnel.From the parking turnaround to the ticket booth and the cliff area, you’ll find staff members stationed all along the way.

There’s still a short walk from the entrance to the actual skywalk. With mountains on your left and the ocean on your right, you’ll be itching to get there even before you reach the path itself.

When you get here, the skywalk entrance is to your right—just remember to go straight ahead first to buy your tickets.

Ticket Price: 40 NTD per person. There's only one standard price—no senior discounts, no half-price tickets. Children under 6 years old enter for free.

Once you’ve purchased your ticket, you’re ready to enter the skywalk. Staff at the gate will collect your ticket.

The path is divided into two sections: the beginning is a regular walkway, while the latter part features transparent glass.

The surrounding scenery is absolutely beautiful.

Walking along the trail, the view is gorgeous whether you look ahead or behind.

When you reach the transparent section, be careful—there’s a spot where a large rock hangs overhead, so you’ll need to bend down to pass through.

There are two staff members stationed here. It’s quite hot out, yet they’re working hard to ensure everyone’s safety—such a commendable effort on their part.

Take a photo with the majestic mountains and ocean in the background.

You’ll feel like you can take photos anywhere on the skywalk—it’s all so scenic.

Be careful not to fall off.

The transparent section of the skywalk is actually quite short. Mom thinks it’s a bit too brief and leaves you wanting more. But it’s still great for photos. As for whether the 40 NTD ticket is worth it, that’s subjective. These days, with the internet so accessible, a quick online search before your trip will reveal that the skywalk is quite short.

Leaving a review saying “this is a rip-off” after arriving might be a bit disheartening. After all, there are staff managing the entrance, directing traffic, and ensuring safety along the walkway. Maintaining the environment also comes at a cost. Still, I’m truly grateful for an attraction like this that allows families to bring their kids for a fun outing.

After leaving the skywalk, turn left and you’ll see a small tunnel. Compared to the outside, it’s much cooler inside, and the walls are decorated with beautiful murals.

There are also wave-shaped benches. Girl: “The sky is so bright, it looks like stars!”

There were also some food stalls on-site, though they didn’t seem to be open yet. Still, they’re something to look forward to.

Outside the tunnel, there are also portable toilets available.

The Hualien Skywalk, located in Fengbin Township, Hualien, is also known as "Qinzhibuziduan Cliff." On the day we visited, we were lucky enough to have perfect sunny weather—the blue sky, white clouds, ocean, and mountains created a truly pleasant landscape. However, the skywalk really isn’t very long (about 150 meters), and at 40 NTD per ticket, whether it’s worth it is subjective.
