Description:

For a day surrounded by scenic wonders, travel outside of Taipei to kick off this must-see attraction in Taiwan. Spend some time at the Taroko National Park, taking in the stunning marble walls and winding river of Taiwan's Taroko Gorge.

In the morning, get picked up from your hotel, travel to the Taipei Railway Station, and take the high-speed train to Hualien to start your day-long guided journey of Taroko National Park. Upon arrival head to Taroko Gorge via highway and enjoy stops at the Taroko Gorge Gateway and the Eternal Spring Shrine—the most photographed sight in the area.

Travel through numerous tunnels along the way, including Swallow Grotto and the extremely narrow Tunnel of Nine Turns. Catch a glimpse of the marble polishing process at the Marble Factory. Then break for delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Head to Chihsingtan Beach for wonderful views of the coastline, with a stunning mountain backdrop. Conclude the excursion by visiting Hualien Sculpture Park—the only museum fully dedicated to the craft of stone carving.

Travel via express train back to Taipei at the end of the day and gaze at the changing scenery of countryside villages, rice fields, mountains, cliffs, and the Pacific Ocean.
