Located in Donghe Township, Taitung, the “Qialulan Recreation Area” was originally an abandoned soil disposal site for an air force base. After being redeveloped by the East Coast National Scenic Area Administration using ecological engineering methods, it now features art landmarks, observation decks, and regularly hosts cultural and creative markets. It has received praise year after year, transforming into a popular destination that blends natural scenery with cultural and artistic elements.

Although every corner of Qialulan can serve as a picturesque scene, one installation unanimously deemed a must-shoot by netizens is the novel and adorable “Stone Flower.” Breaking away from conventional imagery, under the sunlight, this gray, slightly glossy stone flower is uniquely charming. When paired with the blue ocean, it feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli animation scene—truly immersive!

No matter where you wander, you’ll discover various uniquely themed artistic landmarks. For example, driftwood sculptures resembling Jack and the Beanstalk’s beanstalk and the Ents’ hands add a whimsical touch to the area.
