Qiqi Ridge Introduction
Qiqi Highland is a scenic spot that offers a 360-degree panoramic view. This area is named Qiqi Highland due to its elevation of 77 meters. It was previously a controlled military zone, with access roads being narrow and mainly consisting of military paths, overgrown with weeds, making it inconvenient for vehicles. Parking is available at the entrance. Entering along the road for a few hundred meters, visitors will come to an abandoned artillery position. Continuing further for several dozen meters leads to the highest point at the northernmost section, where there is an abandoned barracks. The platform on the second floor is the best spot to overlook the surrounding scenery, offering views of the Hualien River estuary. This location also marks the northernmost point of the Central Mountain Range. In the summer, it is essential to be cautious of insects, snakes, and ants, as well as the risk of heat-related illnesses due to the high temperatures. Moreover, whether for photography enthusiasts or those who appreciate the landscape, Qiqi Highland is undoubtedly a recommended destination on any travel itinerary.
