Short trip to RUISUI in Hualien County (花蓮瑞穗短暫之旅)
We recently made a short trip to Ruisui and Yuli in Hualien County. This is the Ruisui part. We visited the Ruisui Ranch, the Ji Lin Tea Plantation, and we stayed at the brand-new luxury hotel Grand Cosmos Resort Ruisui Hualien.

Yuli
From Ruisui it’s a short drive south on Provincial Highway 9 or County Road 193 to Yuli Township. The latter is favored by seasoned cyclists doing round-the-island or just East Rift Valley rides who prefer to take a more scenic and quieter road. It also offers more shade, thanks to the many roadside trees. In addition, the road has numerous vantage points from which you can take in the marvelous scenery of bright green and yellow fields and the majestic views of the central mountains on the opposite side of the valley.
Shortly before reaching the Yuli Bridge, which traverses the Xiuguluan River and connects to Highway 9 and central Yuli, you come to the Dongfeng Leisure Agricultural Area, a multipurpose farm where visitors can try their hand at such fun as making scones and brewing wheat beer using ingredients grown on the farm’s fields. Creating the small-sized scones, made with eggs, butter, and flour from the area, takes about an hour under the staff’s expert tutelage, and making the beer, a crisp, pleasing wheat ale, takes around three.
The farm was started as a rice operation 20 years ago, with pomelos also grown, but today the focus is mostly on wheat, four varieties of rice, two different kinds of beans, and a small fertilizer factory catering to local farmers looking to further enrich the already fertile soil. The factory and the fields can be toured; the wheat fields are a rare sight in subtropical Taiwan.
The East Rift Valley is well known for its fantastic cycling paths, one of the most popular being the Yufu Bikeway. Close to Yuli Railway Station are a number of bike-rental operations which rent bicycles for NT$100/4hrs, and e-bikes for NT$300 for the same amount of time. The roughly 10-kilometer stretch of paved pathway runs from Yuli Railway Station to the old railway station at the village of Dongli, following an abandoned railway line, winding among rice paddies, fields, and irrigation ponds.
About two kilometers into the ride the bikeway crosses the Xiuguluan River and the fault line dividing the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates, traversing a railway bridge that had to be retired because of the slowly shifting land below, the work of primal tectonic forces churning many kilometers underground. Stop at the midpoint of the bridge and place your feet at a clearly marked spot that allows you to, approximately, stand with one foot on the first tectonic plate and the other on the second.
Riding along the bikeway is a great way to take in the land that is eastern Taiwan’s largest rice granary, much of the crop grown here bound for export to Japan. During the seasons of the year the views are markedly different, ranging from seas of golden rice ears to fields of bright-yellow rapeseed.
Along the pathway you will pass the platforms of two old railway stations, at Antong and Dongli, the latter marking the southern end of the bikeway. Adjacent to Dongli’s old platform, a very popular Instagram spot, is a small café where you can stop and relax, have a cup of coffee, and perhaps pick up a small locally-made souvenir before heading back to Yuli.
If you have worked up an appetite on your return to central Yuli, consider dining at the Yuli Noodles restaurant, a popular no-frills eatery serving generous portions of noodles, either dry or in soup, topped with slices of pork, celery, and bean sprouts.

Taiwan Hualien 7STARS LAKE Or Qixingtan
famous Long Beach In Hualien
On the Fuyuan Riverbank in Ruisui, Hualien 花蓮瑞穗 富源溪堤岸上
Dec. 2016
Ruisui, Hualien, Taiwan
Fuyuan River
The Fuyuan River (Chinese: 富源溪; pinyin: Fùyuán Xī) is a tributary of the Xiuguluan River in Taiwan. Originating from the Dan Mountain, it flows through Hualien County for 28 km before joining Xiuguluan River in Ruisui, Hualien.
Ruisui, Hualien
Ruisui Township (Chinese: 瑞穗鄉; pinyin: Ruìsuì Xiāng) is a rural township located in southern Hualien County, Taiwan, and has a population of 12,107 inhabitants and 11 villages. The Tropic of Cancer passes through here.
This township is an alluvial plain which located in the mid Huatung Valley between Central Mountain Range, Coastal Mountain Range and Wuhe Terrace. Rafting activity on the Xiuguluan River often starts from the Ruisui Bridge.
The climate is between tropical and subtropical monsoon with humid climate. The population is composed of Min Nan, Hakka, and Taiwanese aborigines, most of which is the Amis tribe. Agriculture and tourism are major industries.
During Qing rule, the headquarters of Taitung Prefecture was located in modern-day Ruisui, known then as Tsui-be, or Tsui-boe (Chinese: 水尾; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chúi-bóe).
富源溪
富源溪，又名麻子漏溪，舊稱馬蘭鉤溪，為台灣秀姑巒溪北側的支流，發源於倫太文山南麓及沙武巒山北麓，流經花蓮縣萬榮鄉與瑞穗鄉兩鄉鎮，至瑞穗鄉瑞美村東方匯入秀姑巒溪。
富源溪上游設立有富源森林遊樂區，其中以蝴蝶谷與富源瀑布聞名。
富源溪舊稱「馬蘭鉤（Malango）溪」，其名循阿美族語「發朗奧」之音而來。
1935年（昭和10年），日人發現不論晴雨，該溪一直保持潔白清澈，故命名為「麻子漏溪」（日語中「真白溪」之意）。1937年，又有「白川」之稱。
瑞穗鄉
瑞穗鄉位於台灣花蓮縣中部偏南，北鄰光復鄉，西鄰萬榮鄉、卓溪鄉，東鄰豐濱鄉，南接玉里鎮，有北回歸線經過鄉境。鄉內居民以閩南人、客家人及原住民為主，而原住民又以阿美族為最多。
瑞穗鄉舊稱「水尾」，意思是秀姑巒溪之尾，後日本人因水尾的日文發音Mizuo，改為音近之「瑞穗」（Mizuho）。全鄉面積約有135平方公里，人口約1萬2千餘人，以秀姑巒溪激流泛舟而聞名全台。
本鄉的主力農特產品為天鶴茶和文旦，遠近馳名。紅葉溫泉、瑞穗溫泉皆位於萬榮鄉轄區，但距離瑞穗鄉界甚近，皆為備受民眾喜愛之溫泉勝地。
本鄉同時擁有泛舟、溫泉、銘茶等優良條件，已成為本縣農業與觀光結合的知名去處。

Travel in Taiwan 2019/05-06 (Dana Ter)
Walking away from the highway, we enter a wondrous world with thickets of wild hibiscus plants. Soon I spot the greenhouses of the farm to the right. Entering the grounds, we find the smiling owner, Chiu Shun-jun, brewing Oolong tea. He gets up to greet us, showing us to a wooden table from where you can peer into the first of the greenhouses. Vines droop from the transparent netting-roof of the greenhouse, forming a green arch from which clusters of brilliant yellow cherry tomatoes and stark-hue purple peppers dangle.
A retired military doctor from a Hakka family that lived in Dongshi, the district neighboring Shigang to the east, Chiu started helping friends using hydroponic systems to grow vegetables nearly 30 years ago, before opening his own farm. In the beginning he sold his produce to supermarkets in central Taiwan, but later he realized that operating a leisure farm was more profitable. “I also like to talk to people!” he chuckles.
Approximately 70 to 80 percent of You and Me’s earnings come from tourists. A cover fee of NT$100 is charged for fruit and vegetable picking, with additional charges for every 600 grams of produce picked.
We visit at the end of winter, during the tomato and pepper season, and are to be shown around by Hung Min-fang, a young woman who approaches us wearing a distinctive checkered apron and pushing a cart full of colorful peppers. Noticing our wide-eyed reactions, she explains that six varieties of peppers are grown on the farm: red, green, orange, yellow, purple, and white.
The farm has several greenhouses. Hung leads us into one of the houses, and shows us tomatoes and peppers that have been planted on raised beds, arranged in three tiers. Above the beds are thin black rods used for watering the plants according to a set timer.
“We’re always experimenting with different crops,” Hung tells us. She shows us some of their other winter crops, including corn from a small field behind one of the greenhouses, along with Taiwanese basil, figs, and blueberries, which are planted in pots. There are also apples, turnips, and – most amusing – giant-sized Taiwanese cabbage that are so big and heavy that I would definitely struggle to carry one by myself. Good thing, I think to myself, that I won’t be obliged to do any veggie hauling today as part of my farm experience.
Hung brings out a small red shopping basket, scissors, and a traditional-style Taiwanese conical straw hat. It’s time to pick cherry tomatoes! There are a number to choose from – yellow, red, light green, and dark purple. “The yellow and red ones are the sweetest,” Hung says. She describes how to tell ripe ones from ones that aren’t ready; basically, there shouldn’t be any dark-green coloring on the skin.
I put on the big hat and clutch the basket with one hand, feeling a little silly, like a farmhand depicted in an illustrated book. I’m not as deft with my fingers as Hung is, so I use the scissors to slowly and delicately snip red and yellow cherry tomatoes from their stems, choosing plump-looking ones and standing on my toes to reach tomatoes dangling below the roof.
Ten minutes into the picking, my fingers are a dusty shade of green. I think that maybe I’m not cut out for farm life. “Don’t worry – that’s normal!” Hung laughs reassuringly. We rinse the cherry tomatoes with water and sample a few. I prefer the yellow ones, as they are less acidic than their red counterparts and a pleasant sort of sweet.
The rest of the cherry tomatoes are packed neatly in a tiny, transparent plastic box for me to take home. Outside, a dark-grey cloud cover has settled in, and the tall palms and scraggly banana trees have become gnarly silhouettes. Like curtains coming down on an afternoon play, it’s the perfect end to our visit to Shigang, a place that’s both urban and rural, both tame and wild, and where the people are welcoming – and their tomatoes are lip-smacking good.

Taiwan cycling tour | Ruisui to Hualien (16 Nov 2019)
The last day of our Huadong cycling tour enable us to take our time to ‘smell flower take pictures’. A few spots were part of the common no. 1 RI route. After past few days of climbing hills, this 75km distance seems to be mostly flat (....yawn.... haha...). Swerving through farms again out to park connectors, long flat roads and we came to the highlight of Hualien - 58 year old noodle shop. An old plain retro eatery shop tucked aside an old street.
Knowing that the owner has just returned to open shop for business right on the day we arrived Hualien makes us feel so loved by God. The lady boss even specially handmade sweet tangyuan for us. CC told me that we are indeed very very blessed as he has been there a few times (for the past couple of months) but was disappointed to find their shop closed. Visiting them again feels like going back to grandparents’ place for a humble meal. 感恩。 Sincerely praise Lord for healing them and continue to keep them healthy and able to bless people with their food made of love.
