Situated in Hualien County, Taroko National Park was established as a scenic area in Taiwan in 1986. It holds numerous unique natural attractions, especially its steep cliffs, deep canyons, high mountains, and forests. Additionally, the park is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including wildlife such as the salamander, which dates back to the Ice Age.

The park features astonishingly deep canyons, carved out by river erosion through marble and granite. Adventurous visitors can walk along paths built hundreds of meters above cliffs, where winding trails offer sweeping views of endless mountain peaks or the awe-inspiring rivers below the daunting canyons.

Misty environments scattered among temples and pagodas cling to the steep slopes. Majestic waterfalls, stunning natural tunnels, suspension bridges spanning towering cliffs, and serene landscapes all contribute to the unique charm of Taroko National Park.

Exploring the countless natural treasures of Taroko National Park requires at least a day or two. Moreover, getting to Taroko is convenient—visitors can travel by car, train, bus, or plane to Hualien City, from where access to the park is easy.
