Hualien · Nightlife

This is the nightlife. Amis Indigenous stalls, a Fuding market section and a seafood strip, open nightly until around midnight.

In the Indigenous quarter of Dongdamen, order xiao mi jiu millet wine with stone-grilled boar sausage and betel flower salad.

A 1943 Japanese naval command post on a bluff, now a cafe and gallery with lit gardens and a view over the harbour.

Restored Japanese-era rail offices in the old town, ringed by low-key bars and izakaya in the Zhongshan Road side lanes.

Almost no light pollution once you leave town. Qixingtan and the Highway 11 pull-offs are the easy options after dinner.
