Taroko Gorge is a jewel of Taiwan's national park systems. It is a marble canyon featuring a raging whitewater river, towering cliffs and many hiking trails. It is widely regarded and country's number one attraction. The best way ti visit the gorge is to hire a car and drive all the way up to Tayuling Pass (2560 m) - the highest point on the northern trans-island highway. It is a stunning drive with numerous tunnels and splendid viewpoints along its way. |
