Liyu Lake, Hualien, Taiwan
4.0 (434 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Shoufeng Bodies of Water
Beautiful lake, peaceful surroundings
We visited Liyu Lake after lunch during our visit to Hualien, and booked a motorboat to take the 5 of us around the lake for about half an hour. The lake itself is lovely - relatively quiet surroundings, with ample opportunities to observe the local flora and fauna against the mountain backdrop. The locals are friendly, and you can also book kayaks or paddleboats to go around the lake, or rent bicycles to visit the nearby area. There is also a quirky little display of inflatable ducks on one part of the lake.

about the hiking trails of liyu lake
I'd went to the trail to the top of the liyu mt. once. The wheather isn't well that day, the environment is humid and muggy, some road are made with dirt and rocks, whitch made it difficult to maintain my balance, even I walked carefully, I still almost fell down.

Peaceful and serene
The lake was named after it was shaped like a fish. However over time with the concrete floors and made a tourist attraction. It's becoming the shape of a circle. Loved the serenity and the friendly people there. A place to relax on a lazy afternoon. Enjoy the sights - mountains in the clouds. From the city centre to Liyu lake you can take a bus but the journey takes around an 1 hour not including waiting time. There are 2 buses operated by Hualien Bus Co. which goes to the lake for NT 42 - 52 depending on your location. The bus frequents every 2 hours. Alternatively you can take the taxi, cost around NT 350 - 380. But it was a flag-down by our hostel lady-owner. You can ride a bicycle, paddle a boat or kayak in the lake. In April there is a cool breeze as you stroll along the area. The paddle boat costs NT 400-600 for an unlimited period. The bicycle costs NT 100 - 150 for unlimited periods too. Have fresh seafood lunches or fried prawn cakes from the stores along the main road. Delicious! The sunset sets early at 1800h so everything starts to close from 1600 onwards. They officially close at 1900h.
