In Hualien, here is an abundance of food and local delights to try. A few of the eateries are “must eat” if you visit Hualien. Ziqiang night market is always the best place to find local delights. You can find Taiwanese spring rolls, coffin sandwich, Taiwanese sausage, fried pork ribs, exploding chicken rolls, fresh juices and of course, the pearl milk tea in the night market. It is great to have a refreshing bowl of shaved ice dessert flavoured with caramel syrup and condensed milk with the red beans during summertime.
