Hualien, Taiwan: Taroko Gorge National Park; things to do
The seaside town of Hualien on Taiwan’s East Coast is backed by mountains and known for producing mochi.
One of Taiwan’s most scenic spots is Taroko Gorge National Park. This beautiful park is famous for its abundant supply of marble (it is nicknamed "The Marble Gorge"). A serene river runs through it, and spectacular scenery and trails abound, including the Eternal Spring Shrine/Changchun Shrine. This memorial temple is located just above Changchun Falls, which is reputed never to dry up.
