Discover the natural wonder of Taroko National Park, one of Taiwan’s most breathtaking destinations. Known for its soaring marble cliffs, winding canyons, and crystal-clear rivers, the park is a paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike.

Eternal Spring Shrine

The Eternal Spring Shrine (Changchun Shrine) is one of the most iconic landmarks in Taroko National Park. Built to honour the veterans who lost their lives during the construction of the Central Cross-Island Highway, the shrine is set against a backdrop of steep cliffs with a natural spring that flows year-round, creating a picturesque waterfall beneath the temple. Its peaceful atmosphere, rich history, and stunning scenery make it a must-visit stop within the gorge, perfect for photography and quiet reflection.

Yanzihkou Trail (Swallow Grotto)

The Qingshui Cliff is one of Taiwan’s most spectacular coastal landscapes and a must-see on any trip from Hualien. Stretching for more than 20 kilometres along the Suhua Highway, the cliffs rise nearly 800 metres above the Pacific Ocean, creating a dramatic meeting point of mountain and sea. Travellers can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views where sheer marble walls plunge directly into the turquoise-blue waters below. Recognised as one of Taiwan’s “Eight Wonders,” the Qingshui Cliff offers unforgettable photo opportunities and a true sense of the island’s natural beauty.

Qixingtan Beach

2h
