We finally arrived in Hualien 花蓮 in the evening and checked into Sunrise BnB. It is highly recommended online and we went ahead to book the rooms directly since I had no time to do further research. The BnB is managed by a friendly couple, who also has a young daughter. The rooms are clean and tidy but there is no radiator! It would be better if the rooms were warmer.

Simple toilet… Only remembered it was extremely cold inside.
Leaving to explore Hualien 花蓮. R was the driver for the night.

At Zhiqiang Night Market 自強夜市 for our 2nd round of feasting.
Long queue at the corn stall. It must be good.

Back to the corn stall…
å‘ï¼Each customer is given an order number printed on the back of the mahjong tile.
Verdict – we didn’t like the soggy and soft corn.
