Taroko National Park

A protected area in Taiwan famed for its marble gorge, lush landscapes, and the winding Liwu River cutting through the mountains.

Tips from the community

Arguably Taiwan’s most prominent national park, Taroko National Park on Taiwan’s east coast is famous for its iconic Taroko Gorge, a 19-kilometer ecological wonder that was formed more than 2,000 years ago from the rushing Liwu River. Established in 1986, Taroko National Park is emblematic of Taiwan’s late 20th century environmental protection movement. Take a scooter, car, or bus along the Central Cross-Island Highway and stop along the way to trek trails like the 1.37-kilometer Swallow Grotto trail with its famous Indian Head Rock formation and the 1.9-kilometer Tunnel of Nine Turns that provides fantastic views of the marble gorge, river, limestone cliffs, and tunnels.
