The story

Hualien Daylily Flower Season in Chike Mountain/Sixty Stone Mountain

Hualien's daylily flower season lights up two mountains in the East Rift Valley, Sixty Stone Mountain in Fuli Township and Chike Mountain in Yuli Township, with orange blooms each year from roughly July through September. Both areas were resettled by farmers after catastrophic flooding in 1959 and shifted from rice to daylily cultivation soon after.

Two mountains on opposite sides of Hualien's East Rift Valley turn orange at almost the same time each year, and both owe their daylily fields to the same disaster.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Sixty Stone Mountain takes its name from a Hoklo resettlement story: after the 1959 flood disaster, migrant rice farmers found each unit of land yielded sixty measures of grain, though the terrain later proved better suited to daylilies imported from Taimali

02

The mystery stays covered

Chike Mountain is named for a hardwood once logged there for Japanese rifle stocks, and today also produces a distinct honey-scent black tea

03

The city starts moving

Sixty Stone Mountain was originally settled by Amis people at Dalanpu village, and its ten scenic pavilions are named for daylily varieties and poetic terms such as Forget Worry
