Hualien City
Taiwan
The main gateway city for Taroko Gorge on Taiwan's Pacific coast, Hualien is known locally as the "marble city" for its streets, pavements, and road dividers inlaid with marble offcuts — a byproduct of the city's marble-processing industry. The compact centre has a dense café and restaurant scene alongside a port, rail station, and airport that make it the principal transport hub for eastern Taiwan.
