Taroko, Taiwan

Just 15km north of Hualien, inside Taroko National Park, lies Taroko Gorge , Taiwan's top tourist destination. With its marble-walled canyons, lush vegetation and cliffs so outsized they block out the sky, Gorge puts the �Formosa' in Ilha Formosa.Taroko contains almost half of all the animal species in Taiwan, including the Formosan black bear and wild boar. It's unlikely travellers will come across these larger animals but it's not hard to spot a Taiwan macaque or two. The park covers over 120, 000 hectares and rises from sea level in the east to over 3700m further west. The blue-green Liwu River cuts through the centre, forging deep slitted valleys and ravines before emptying into the sea.
