Eastern Taiwan's beautiful coast photos

Breathtaking views of Taiwan's blue pacific ocean

Few minutes after the Longchang village, we've came across one of the most beautiful views we've ever seen in Taiwan. There is a small rest area very close to the Pacific ocean and when I saw the clear blue green image of the water, I asked my wife to stop for a while and have a look. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our Taitung tour. We took some of the most beautiful photos here - the colors were just amazing. I can't say much more, but for me this is one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Taiwan I have ever seen. Let my photos speak for themselves:


The resting area attracted these two girls with yellow rain coats. Luckily no rain spoiled our trip.


View on the Donghe harbor and a small peninsula.



It looked like the ocean was foaming.



The cloudy sky was blue and grey while the ocean was blue and green - simply amazing.



Beautiful sandy shores of Taitung County.



Kids playing on the beach. Next time I might join them.



The view in the distance with the Green Island on the horizon.
