Wonderful sceneries of the Gorge. Travelled there from Taipei with a private driver and guide. Highly recommended day trip from Taipei. Leave early. Benson Chen was our driver. Friendly and courteous. Highly recommended.

This is a stunning set of natural features of narrow forges where you can close up to the rock faces and overhangs. The views up and down the gorges are amazing. There are several relatively short trails that are easy to walk (some are closed after previous rockfalls). The Nine Bends and Swallow Cave trails were very good, although on the former you're partly walking on the side of the road where traffuc is coming through. The other impressive thing is man's ingenuity in building these tunnels and walkways under and through the rock overhangs. A must-see/ must-do.

I booked a one day shared tour via Island Life Taiwan. It wasn't cheap but we visited all the main attractions. Turned out to be one my best one day tours in Taiwan.

Taroko Gorge is one of Taiwan’s most interesting and scenic areas. We parked near the Shakadang Trail Head and walked along the river Shakadang for about 2 km where we had a picnic of street-food sausages which were being sold at the point. The path was cut into the side of the steep cliffs that form the gorge by the Japanese in 1940 as part of a system of damming the river to create hydro-electric power. We saw some stunning scenery, including rocks apparently made of pale gold, water of a rich colour owing to the minerals, interesting forest vegetation, an egret and a monkey. We were with one of the tour companies, but I'm afraid I don't know which one as it was booked for us by others.

Natural marvel. You can spend all day there, although the tour buses arrive around 2pm and the crowds can ruin the ambiance slightly. Of note you can do this by bus without much hassle - the buses arrive about once and hour (although not always to schedule) and they take the Easy Card used in Taipei.

Taroko Gorge has been on my list of places to visit for a while and it did not disappoint. Taroko Gorge was one of the most beautiful places I've been to. The dramatic cliffs, clear water, and stunning landscapes all made this national park one of my favorites. I did a tour here and hiked a few trails and visited a couple attractions. Everything we did was stunning. Highly recommended!

When the water is running high, it works well. To be honest, walking is the greatest way to see Taroko Gorge. Admire the marble, sculpted over eons by the sea and polished to a brilliant sheen. Naturally, we owe a debt of gratitude to the veterans for ironing out the wrinkles and making Taroko Gorge what it is today.
