History

---

According to The Record of Hualien County (花蓮縣志), the place was originally called Chilai (奇萊), but this name was abandoned by the Japanese in early 20th century because it sounds like "despise" in Japanese and used Hualien instead. Hualien is an approximate homonym of Huilang (洄瀾), which means "recurring waves (of the Pacific Ocean)".
