TAROKO GORGE



Nearby Hualien is a spectacular marble walled gorge called Taroko. We rented scooters in the city and after a few close shaves while puttering around the block of the rental place, we were on the highway.

The gorge itself is 18km of road winding around the cliff side going through plenty of both man made and natural tunnels. There were definitely some tense moments involving enormous buses and disrespectful cars, but I'm still here to tell the tale thank goodness.

The scenery was spectacular though again, not unlike anything we have at home...


After 6 hours on the road, it was very nice to be able to take a shower. As you can see, I needed it!
