【Fun there in Hualien】
【Medicine Buddha protects the country and eliminates disasters】
Online arguments say that Hualien is so boring because of its beautiful mountains and rivers,
But the other side said it was brilliant.
The excerpt is as follows:
1. Traveling to dozens of countries in the east, west, south, and north hemispheres, Hualien, Taiwan is the most beautiful and nostalgic place.
2. I went to Hualien during winter and summer vacations. I have visited Hualien at least ten times (four days each time), but I haven’t had enough. Hualien is a place of majestic beauty and graceful beauty, which can only be appreciated by those who are destined to enjoy it
3. Whether Hualien is fun or not varies from person to person. I have lived in Hualien for almost 25 years, and I still play in Hualien every week, but I still can’t get enough of it…
What to do in Hualien? Rafting in secret areas, kayaking on clear water cliffs, Dali Datong cross-country running, water play in secret areas, valley tracing, seaside running, surfing, diving, wild creek diving, ancient trail exploration, ruin night tours, Liyu Lake fishing and boating, and the East Coast Cycling Trail , light aircraft, rock climbing, water survival games, camping on the beach, afternoon tea on the sea, coffee in Piaopiao Creek, 5 minutes to the mountain, 5 minutes to the beach… I’m afraid you don’t have the energy to play!
In fact, Hualien is the largest county in Taiwan:
I would like to share the following:
Hualien has Taroko National Park, Hualien has Yushan National Park, there is the East Rift Valley Special Area, there is the East Coast Scenic Area, there is the Hualien Forestry Bureau, and the fateful Nengdan National Park…
Two major national parks and two designated scenic areas include Shanhai, Forest Service Lintian Mountain, Chinan, Danong Dafu, Fuyuan Butterfly Valley… many forest protected areas.
Multiple Oriental Pure Glaze World Medicine Buddha dojos,
Jian Medicine Master Mandala, Shoufeng Henan Temple Medicine Master Buddha Park to Eliminate Evils, Falin Temple in Chishang, Taitung, Wuhe Glazed World…
Unparalleled on the stage!
[Qiqi Highlands of the Coast Mountains]The Qiqi Highlands used to be an air defense base, and no outsiders were allowed to enter at will.
Now that the ban has been lifted and it is managed by the Forest Service, it is still a very sparsely populated place.
In addition to its past historical background, it also has special significance in Taiwan’s geography.
The East Longitudinal Valley is a vast and narrow plain between the Central Mountains and the Coast Mountains
The Qiqi Highlands is the northern starting point of the Coast Mountains. Standing on it is equivalent to standing on the head of the Coast Mountains!
There is an abandoned officer’s dormitory on the top of the mountain. After climbing to the roof, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the Huadong Rift Valley and the Pacific Ocean. However, you must pay great attention to safety because there are no guardrails.
You can even enjoy the night view at night, overlooking the twinkling lights of Hualien City.
Qiqi Highland is at the tip of the Coastal Mountains, like a natural barrier protecting Hualien. It used to be a garrison camp, but now it is an excellent location to enjoy a 360-degree view of Hualien City and the Pacific Ocean from a high altitude on the sea.
This is Hualien Mountain at the north end. Because the highest altitude is 77 meters, over time it was called Qiqi Highland. The trail is not long, about 2 kilometers in one direction, and can be accessed from both ends. You can come from Guoxing Temple, or from the bus stop on Taiwan’s 11th line.
Looking at Hualien City and Meilun Mountain to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, Ji’an to the west, and the longitudinal valley and the rolling coastal mountains to the south.
On the Qiqi Highlands at the front, standing on the small platform on the high ground, you can see the outlet of Hualien Creek at the foot of the front. The waves will backwash the discharged sand and deposit it into a sand belt, making the inland sea of Hualien Creek seem like a flat wave. Quiet lagoon.
Farther away are the beautiful views of Hualien City and Ji’an Township.Lun Mountain protrudes from it and has become a very obvious landmark of Hualien.
On the left is Hualien Creek and Hualien Bridge, and on the right is the boundless Pacific Ocean. Suddenly I felt relaxed and happy.
During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty at the end of the 18th century, when the development of the western region was approaching saturation, the first batch of immigrants moved from the Gemalan area to the Hualien Xikou area.
The Han immigrants saw the surging Hualien stream rushing into the sea, meeting with the warm Kuroshio current in the outer sea, and impacting the prominent coastal terrain. The stream and waves stirred up the two phases, and the waves swirled around, so they called it “Huilan”.
The best angle to understand the word “洄兰” in the picture. On the left, the Hualien River, which carries water on both sides of the longitudinal valley, enters the already turbulent Pacific Ocean, and the background is the towering Central Mountains, especially when the sky is clear.
After leaving the military camp, I suddenly couldn’t stand still and encountered an earth dragon turning over.
Suddenly there were two earthquakes in a row, and I immediately thought of the Medicine Buddha who can remove evil:

The Medicine Master Buddha who can remove evil spirits will recently complete the installation of evil spirits at Henan Temple:

And Henan Temple is not far from Qiqi Highland.
The Tathagata wishes to protect the country and prevent disasters,
The Pharmacist Sutra: “When disaster occurs.” The so-called epidemic is difficult for everyone. It is difficult for other countries to invade and force others. It is difficult to rebel against oneself. The stars become strange and difficult. Eclipses of the sun and the moon are difficult. Untimely wind and rain are difficult. It’s hard not to have rain when it’s too late. That Kshatriya initiation king and others. At this time, it should be for all sentient beings. Be compassionate. Forgive all ties. Follow the method of making offerings as mentioned above. Make offerings to the World Honored Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata. From this good root. Because of the power of the Tathagata’s original vow. Make the country’s borders safe and secure. When the wind and rain are favorable, the crops are ripe. All sentient beings are free from illness and happy. 』
Pray to protect the country and eliminate disasters and earthquakes:
