TAIPEI, April 4 -- A university student from the Chinese mainland was found drowned off the coast of eastern Taiwan's Hualien County on Saturday, police said.
The female student, identified as 22-year-old Liu Xinying, was studying at Taipei University of the Arts.
Liu was swept away by rogue waves near the Qingshui Cliff at around noon, her two companions told police.
At least three drownings were reported in Taiwan since the beginning of the four-day Tomb Sweeping Festival weekend, as students and tourists flocked to the seaside for vocation amid hot weather.
One person died Friday and another died Saturday at the scenic Chisingtan Beach in Hualien, according to police.
