Yanzikou Trail

Beautiful trail to hike to appreicate the beauty of Taroko Gorge. The trail is narrow as most of the trail is shared with a single road on the left. But it is a very see the rock formations and the different layers of rocks.

Cool route through the gorge with nice views. The route is next to the road so can be driven as well. There is limited parking but you can stop beyond the white lines (much easier with a scooter). Very popular trail with tour groups!

Swallow Grotto
Spectacular views; you cannot miss this place if you visit the National Park.
Try to see the swallows that have their nest on the grotto wall.
There is a cafeteria in the middle of the train where you can get expresso and waffle

Totally worth to visit at least once in your life. Breathtaking scenery and the touching story behind the construction of the trail. Respect to the workers!

From the entrance you can also reach a high suspension bridge over the gorge 800m before the tunnel via the Idas Trial.

Breathtaking backdrops! From the holes of the tunnels to the picturesque river views, everything’s stunning!

If you’re a travel photographer, it would be the kind of place you won’t mind staying in for hours just to take snaps of the place. There are so many wonderful subjects to take pictures of. There are also a few food stops here and there.

A must place to visit by joining the 1 day tour including the Taroko Gorge. The views here is awesome and the walk is long but good pave way all along.

Great views ,love the pristine air and environment
Uniquely beautiful

Our first stop on the way to Hehuanshan. Magnificent and breathtaking view.

the views are gorgeous and it makes it seem like you’re in a Chinese 古装剧. It’s a quaint little spot and you get to see a few swallows flying around too. Recommended!

This is a beautiful trail along the windy twisty mountain road. We had to bear with an almost 2 hour ride of twists and turns coming from the west before reaching this destination.

Beyond the beautiful sights were the ever so peaceful whispers of the swallows flying above us. They were gracefully dancing in the wind, performing their songs of peace which echoed through the gorge.

This is a place worth visiting but is better to get here from the east.

Got to be the best of Taroko Gorge. Breathtaking. We spend 2.5 hours here. Its well worth is. There is 2 superhigh suspension bridge that required permits. If you miss you day trip bus with 310, you can always hop into 302 and tap your easycard at cost of ~25NTD

A truly magnificent view of the gorge formed by mountain action and erosion by the Liwu river. Swallows live here, hence the name and the air from below sometimes push out the insects and the swallows come out and snack on them. Rocks sometimes fall here, so do pick up free helmets on your way here to protect yourself

A breathtaking attraction that looks straight out of a movie. Photos cannot do this place justice as sounds and smells contribute to the experience as well. (And it looks better in person). Multiple trails so you should do your research and plan a full day for this.

Private transportation is limited by the government for several days starting from lunar new year day 2, so you might wanna avoid these days.

It is super fascination
The view is so so so so nice

Truly breathtaking view of the valley and the swallow holes. Unfortunately, it did not rain abit, so we could not see water flowing through these holes.

Nonetheless great trail!

This trail is so magnificent. We can see natural rocks and blue water flowing under it. And the cave is good too. But the cave is also for cars driving. So we need to be so careful while enjoying the scenery.

World class scenery in Taroko National Park.

It is a amazing place for visiting which created by the Mother Nature

This place gets so packed with tourists, I literally saw a thousand people walking with helmets to avoid falling rocks while I was there. No rocks fell on my head. I did not wear a helmet. It looked more like a fashion statement. Helmets are free, by the way. You pick them up en route to this location.

No parking available. You must have a designated driver that drops you off at the beginning of the trail to pick you up afterwards after the 1KM short walk through caves. Police are stationed there to enforce these rules.

Beautiful view, no doubt. Bring a wide angle if you are a photographer.

We saw a couple sparrows, but sadly they are disappearing from the are because too many tourists come by and the noise is disruptive to their environment.

At the end of the trail is a shop that sells meals with chicken, some ice cream and drinks. Please do not litter. I saw a cup purposefully thrown over the balcony into the canyon and wish I saw who it was so I could tell them off. People like that ruin it for everyone.

Spectacular marble to witness. Naturally forming caves are a marvel. The site creates awe but the people gave me a headache.
