Old Railway Walkways

Walking on the old railway walkways in Hualien City's downtown area offers a unique experience. The old railway used to be a part of the Hualien-Taitung railway line, running through the city to the seaside train station. Over time, it has been transformed into a pedestrian walkway, spanning about 300 meters. The surrounding streets are bustling with activity, and the walkway features small markets and art installations. While it may not be as lively as the Dongdamen Night Market, it's still worth a visit if you happen to be in the area or want to explore some shops and grab a bite to eat.

The Old Railway Walkways (舊鐵道行人徒步區) have become a hub for trendy youth culture, with young people dancing, skateboarding, and local artists showcasing their talents. Stylish boutiques offer the latest fashion trends, and various small restaurants serve up delicious local dishes such as pork chop noodles, lunch boxes, and iced desserts. We recommend taking your time to explore the shops and soak in the lively atmosphere. You could easily spend an entire afternoon or evening here, immersing yourself in the local culture and entertainment.
