Fanshuliao (蕃薯寮) is a scenic spot with a bridge called "No. 18" accross 70 meters deep and 50meters wide valley. It is said that in the past for local aboringinal young people, if someone want to be a chief in the tribe, he must use a bamboo pole to do pole jumpinp over the valley. A lot of younger people fail and die in the valley. Their bamboo pole was left and form a bamboo forest down to the valley.
Standing on the bridge, you can see the basin on the west and steep gorge on the east. Obviously, the lovely gorge of Fanshuliao is no match for magnificent Taroko Gorge. However, the contrast scene on both side is worthy a visit in east coast.
While most of the beach is coral or shingle, Jichi Beach is one of the few sandy beach in east coast. Therefore, it is regarded as the best surfing place for beginners and private surfing lesson are held here (starting from Hualien city). One of the interesting thing is that you may see buffalos hangling out near the beach, enjoying their grass meal all day long.
Beside the beach there is a hill at the south, a 20 minutes walk leads up to the top and commands great view of Pacific Ocean and Jichi Beach. In addition, Jichi Beach poessess camping facility with affordable price. Enjoying a camping tour and BBQ dinner at summer night would be an unforgottable experience in east coast.
