Taroko National Park

Taroko National Park is one of Taiwan's nine national parks, renowned for its spectacular Taroko Gorge, a river-carved canyon cut entirely through pure marble. Located in eastern Taiwan across Xiulin Township in Hualien County, with extensions into Taichung City and Nantou County, the park encompasses over 92,000 hectares of rugged mountain terrain. The park's defining geological feature ranks among only three river-carved gorges worldwide formed entirely in marble, alongside similar formations in India and Bulgaria. The landscape rises from tropical deciduous forests at lower elevations through temperate coniferous zones to alpine peaks exceeding 3,000 meters, creating remarkable ecological diversity within a relatively compact area. The park holds potential World Heritage Site status and represents Taiwan's most significant protected landscape, combining dramatic scenery with deep cultural significance tied to the indigenous Truku people.
