Canyon sights in Taiwan

1. Taroko Gorge

   • Taiwan
   • Sights › Canyon

   An awe-inspiring canyon with marble-walled canyons, lush vegetation and cliffs so giant they block out the sky, Taroko covers 120,000 hectares with mountain peaks rising to 3700m. The environment of this massive park is filled with high mountain peaks and the Liwu River, which cuts through the centre of the gorge, forging many deep valleys, ravines and waterfalls in its course. There are an abundance of hiking trails that lead visitors to shrines, temples, hot springs and panoramic vistas of the mountains and the sea.

2. Golden Canyon

   • Taroko Gorge, Taiwan
   • Sights › Canyon

   The Sanjhan North River flows through southern Taroko Park. A short 2km trail has been built along the river following a canal built by the US government in 1952 (clean, clear water still flows down the canal), but the real reason to come here is to river trace to an area called the Golden Canyon. Those who have done the trip rave about the beauty of the gorge, the numerous waterfalls and the deep swimming pools.
