Illustrative →Taroko Gorge
Taroko, in Hualien County, is Taiwan's most iconic natural landmark and a summer escape from the lowland heat. Mornings are the best time to enter the gorge before afternoon thunderstorms roll in; once midday hits, many travellers swap the mountains for the sea, kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding off Qingshui Cliff or Seven Star Lake. Inside the national park, trails such as Bai-Yang and the Water Curtain Cave show off the canyon's shifting light and tunnels of moss. Autumn is the most comfortable season, with mild weather and little rain. Some trails remain closed for post-earthquake restoration, so check the latest safety notices before heading in.
