Sunflower Plaza Introduction
Hualien Fishery Port's Sunflower Square is a new tourist attraction located at Hualien Fishery Port, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, the whale-watching pier, Hualien Fish Market, and the Hualien Fishermen's Association. The architecture of Sunflower Square reflects a Southern European style, creating a striking contrast with the nearby fishery port. The coastal cultural characteristics of both the East and West blend here, generating a brilliant spark between them. With the Pacific Ocean and vast prairies as its backdrop, it presents a rare and breathtaking view that is hard to find elsewhere. This unique geographical location is truly one of a kind. Many locals now consider Hualien Fishery Port and Sunflower Square as their go-to hidden gems. In the courtyard of the square, there is a large sperm whale stone sculpture, the only one of its kind in Taiwan, which has become a must-photograph spot for visitors to Hualien Fishery Port. Friends who love the ocean often visit the Pacific Love Tower at the square, which is the closest tower to the Pacific Ocean in Taiwan, providing unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, Coastal Mountain Range, Central Mountain Range, and the port. The square also features an activity for hanging love locks, allowing mountains and love to witness your promises! The vendors within the square are straightforward, with not many shops, as most tourists come here to enjoy nature, bask in the sunlight, and experience the sea breeze while immersing themselves in the fishery ecology. Apart from offering local specialty shops, the square is dedicated to promoting ocean tours, fishery ecology explanations, and DIY projects like fish ball making, seawater tofu, colored sea salt, and kite-making.
