The best scenery you can get in Taiwan! It is in Taipei and the national park has all beaches and mountains
Every time I need to settle my mood, I love to run to Hualien. I especially like the canyon in Tailuge National Park. I really don’t tire of seeing it. I will want to go after a while.
Taroko National Park Suitable for people who like to walk the Trail to admire the beauty of the nature of the mountains. Streams and trees by taking Tra from Taipei mail station to hualian or xincheng and then take a bus or taxi to each point in the park. The bus around weekdays is almost half less than holidays. Look at the good time, the highlight is the Qingshui cliff. Yanzikou nine-curve tunnel and blue beach alternating with black rock qixingtan beach. Tra price 440twd per leg, if you charter a taxi, the size is 8 hours 2500+twd but if you take a bus, the price depends on the location, from 15twd to 100twd.
Tailuge National Park is really beautiful, there are mountains, water, trees and stones, praise
The most magical place in Hualien, very beautiful and worth a visit
Taroko National Park is the fourth "national park" in Taiwan. It is located in the eastern part of Taiwan Island. It spans Hualien County, Taichung County and Nantou County. Taroko has also become the name of the train. Its main buildings are Changchun Temple, Yanzikou, Jinhong Park, Jiuqu Cave, Cimu Bridge, Tianxiang; the main natural landscapes are cone foot cliff, Liufang Bridge, Dayuling, Buluo Bay, Shakayong Walk, Green Water Confluence Walk, Clear Water Cliff Walk, Baiyang Walk, Sudden Pavilion Walk, Lianhuachi Walk, Golden Canyon. Taroko National Park features canyons and cliffs. In addition, many glacial relics, such as pepper and fish, are preserved in the high mountains of the garden. The genesis of Taroko Park - "6.5 million years ago, the earth's crust was unstable. The Philippine Plate, moving northwest, is pressing towards the Eurasian Plate, gathering energy and searching for an outlet for release. As a result, volcanoes erupted frequently and tsunami waves billowed. After the Penglai orogeny, Hengkong was born as a treasure island in Taiwan. There are mountains, waters, creatures and divine trees on the island. Liwuxi originated from the main peak of Chilai Mountain in central Taiwan, and rushed to the sea from the source of 3449 meters above sea level. For thousands of years, water and stone are entangled with each other. Water as a knife, cut out the steep and magnificent; stone as a material, showing profound magnificence. Taroko Taroko is a language of Taiwanese ethnic minorities - "Great Mountains". The Great Mountains are inhabited by the rainbow gods believed by the Taroko people. We went to Changchun Temple, Shakayi Trail, Tailuge Park. Because the mountain road was closed, there was no way to Yanzikou. The Shakayong stream is short in distance, turbulent in flow and low in sediment content. Therefore, even after a typhoon and heavy rain, the stream can remain clear and blue. The stacked stones near the confluence can be observed here, which is also due to the fact that the rocks do not roll over very long distances after collapse and retain the appearance of huge stones. The water of Shakayi River is clear and blue all the year round. It looks like the secret land of the past. The whole trail stretches along Shakayi River. There are huge rocks on the riverbed. When the river flows through the marble here, it releases the calcium carbonate content, which makes the water of Shakayi River green and blue. The scenery is very attractive. Have you noticed the high and low stones in the stream, their colours, shapes and patterns? Especially after crossing the Tung flower corridor, there are many soft lines on the other side, like a thousand-layer cake, more like running clouds and running water, like the wrinkles carved on hard rocks over millions of years, and like this ancient land, which has been eroded by streams for a long time, unquestionably exposed the secret of the earth millions of years ago. Later, when I drove to Qingqing Grassland, I passed Zhongheng Highway and saw many gravel sections along the way. I knew that if the typhoon weather was still dangerous in Tailuge Park, there were rockfalls, so I had to avoid the rainy season and typhoon weather when I traveled to Taiwan.
