The wishing stones stacked by travelers on the beach and the azure Pacific Ocean add a touch of romance to the sea view. Chixingtan Scenic Area is located next to Hualien Airport. Occasionally, if you look up at the sky, you can see planes flying by, which is also a unique landscape of Chixingtan.
  
  
• Xincheng Old Street Xincheng Township is the smallest township in Hualien, with eight villages including Xincheng Village, Kangle Village, and Beipu Village. After becoming the filming location for the famous movie "Summer Light Years", it has re-boosted local tourism. In addition, the nearby "Xincheng Catholic Church" has also become a must-visit photo-taking spot on the Internet because of its ship-shaped architecture and coexistence with a Japanese shrine.
  
  
• Mambo Marine Ecological Leisure Park Mambo Marine Ecological Leisure Park, referred to as "Mambo Park", is located in Qixingtan, Xincheng Township, Hualien County. It is close to Hualien Airport and is currently an important military restricted area.
