## About Qingshui Cliff

Qingshui Cliff lies in the northern part of Hualien County and is one of Taiwan's Eight Scenic Wonders. The Suhua Highway (苏花公路), which connects Yilan and Hualien, was built along this fault coastline. As you drive along the road, you gaze up at towering cliffs and steep mountains, and look down at waves crashing onto the shore and the vast sea. The grandeur and beauty of nature here leave visitors reluctant to leave.
