Canyon
Taichi Gorge
It's not hard to see why a 1986 rockslide that killed 28 visitors closed Taichi Gorge to the public for over two decades. The precipitously high, narrow and rocky terrain just doesn't allow for easy trail development. Kudos to the forestry bureau for the wall-hugging wooden steps and the thrilling 136m Ladder to Heaven (天梯; Tiāntī) – it's one of Taiwan's longest suspension bridges, and certainly the only one with built-in steps (to help you descend faster).
