| Brief Introduction: |
| |
Starting from the Beipin Park ( Northern-Beach Park ) beside Chungshan Bridge , along the seaside bank beside the old shore railway line, all the way to Nanpin Park , is a popular route for walking, sea-watching, swimming, and stone-picking. On clear days, gliding-chutes and kites fly high in the park. In the evenings, thousands of electric lights of the vendors attract swarms of people, making the Park the biggest night market in Hualien City .
|
|
Every night, people can come here and enjoy various delicious snacks, as well as open-air Karaoke, archery, darting, circle-throwing, gold-fish catching, and many other games that are less often found in other traditional night markets.
The greatest special feature of this night market is that it combines eating, playing, and entertainment with a wide variety. If you get a high score, you win a prize. Of course, if you do not enjoy the active games, you can walk along the bank, watch the view of Huaien Harbor , and see the stars in the sky. |
