[Scenic Spots in Ji’an, Hualien] Gancheng Bicycle Path, the rural style in the simple community, roaming the mountains and rivers by bicycle.

前天入住田園風金澤居民宿，隔天的我們原本想去其他花蓮景點逛逛，沒想到民宿老闆跟我們說，他們有免費的腳踏車租借，民宿附近有干城自行車道，還貼心的提供了一份腳踏車地圖。喜歡不按牌理出牌，隨時更改行程的我們，便決定早晨起床來騎腳踏車運動！深入玩玩吉安干城社區，意外地發現許多有趣的事物，穿梭在田野間，翠綠高山映入背景，藍天白雲下，每張照片都美得好像明信片。

Green corridor

On the way of cycling, it is really inspiring to see slogans in the community calling for everyone to exercise more! We seldom exercise, we always use the holidays to sweat, and we especially like to ride bicycles to travel in depth. The green corridor is 1,500 meters long and connects the Chuying Bicycle Path. Separated from the car lane, it is particularly comfortable to ride, and it will not be too hot to ride in the shade.

• Open 24/7
• Address: No. 45, Gancheng 1st Street, Ji'an Township, Hualien County

Livestock ranch, horse auxiliary education center

Riding on, we ran into a horse! If you do not follow the schedule according to the schedule, you can enjoy the moment of traveling more. This is where we accidentally ride. It turned out that there was a livestock farm here, and the staff took the horses out to graze, and we also stopped here to observe and take pictures for a long time. The horse is sturdy, grazing with its head down, and looking up at the surrounding movement from time to time. We who usually live in the city rarely see such a scene and feel it is fun.

Lotus Flower Garden

This is one of the attractions specifically mentioned by the owner of the homestay.The Lotus Garden in Lotus City is not only free of tickets, but there is also free lotus tea to drink, isn't it a bit too Buddha's heart? We, who had been looking at the door for a long time, didn't dare to venture in, but the proprietress of the lotus garden warmly entertained us, asking us to watch the lotus inside and sit down to drink tea. Although the lotus garden is not big, the pond is covered with lotus flowers, which is very beautiful.

• Free tickets, free tea
• Opening hours: Daily 10:00-18:00
• Address: No. 66, Nanhua 5th Street, Ji'an Township, Hualien County

In this way, we rode our bikes all morning. Because we were riding while taking pictures and we were not in a hurry, we spent a lot of time tasting Hualien Ji'an. There seems to be a kind of magic in Hualien, the pace has slowed down, the mood is relaxed, and there seems to be nothing worth worrying about. We seem to regain our original intention of traveling, experience the small details of ordinary life, and go back to Taipei when we are full of electricity!
