Liushidan Mountain Introduction
Hualien has two Jinzhi Mountains, one of which is Liushidashan located in Fuli Township, famous for its vast fields of golden daylilies. Every year in August and September, winding along the mountain road, one can see the hillsides and valleys dancing with warm shades of yellow, until reaching the mountain ridge, where, accompanied by the blue sky and drifting clouds, one can overlook the magnificent expanse of flowers, making it even more dazzling and enchanting. Even outside the blooming season of the daylilies, one can leisurely wander through this beautiful and vast landscape; the rolling green hills are occasionally adorned with red-tiled farmhouses, presenting a picturesque mountainous scenery. Climbing up to the pavilion allows visitors to gaze over the fertile rice farming areas of the Huatung Valley, completely taking in the valley’s charm, reminiscent of Switzerland in Europe. Coupled with the comfortable and cool climate at mid-elevation, it is also known as "Taiwan's Little Switzerland." Tourists can visit the mountain year-round to experience the leisurely charm reminiscent of European landscapes; however, to see the bright yellow fields of daylilies, one must choose the right season!
