Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Votre guide chauffeur personnel viendra vous chercher à votre hôtel / b & b à Taipei City.
Entrez d'abord dans les gorges de Taroko par l'arche. Cette grande arche, inspirée de l'architecture traditionnelle du palais Chinois, est située à l'extrémité sud du pont Jinwen, où elle rejoint la route Central Cross-Island. Son inscription à six caractères, écrite par le célèbre calligraphe moderne Mr. Wang Chuang‐Wei, est devenu l'emblème de l'autoroute depuis son ouverture. Aujourd'hui, il fonctionne également comme l'entrée des gorges de Taroko, agissant à la fois comme un point de repère et une séance de photos populaire.
Entrez dans le parc en commençant par le centre d'accueil pour avoir un aperçu du parc national de Taroko.
Au centre d'accueil du parc national de Taroko, vous pourrez découvrir les forces géologiques qui ont façonné Taroko. Le paysage de Taïwan a été rehaussé par la compression tectonique des plaques, ce qui rend les tremblements de terre fréquents. Les expositions montrent également les effets avant et après des événements sismiques, notamment le tremblement de terre majeur de Hualien en 2024, qui a radicalement modifié les sentiers et le relief du parc.
Le sanctuaire de la source éternelle est construit pour commémorer les 226 militaires (vétérans militaires) décédés lors de la construction de la Central Cross-Island Highway.
Tianxiang est situé le long de la partie orientale de la route Central Cross-Island, à environ 19 km des gorges de Taroko. À cet endroit, les rivières Dasha et Tacijili fusionnent pour former la rivière Liwu, dont la longue histoire de sédimentation et d’érosion a façonné les berges à terrasses multiples. Cette vallée spacieuse était autrefois animée de restaurants, de boutiques et d'hôtels, mais après le tremblement de terre de 2024, le nombre de visiteurs a diminué, et de nombreux commerces se sont éloignés, laissant derrière eux une atmosphère paisible, presque intacte. Gardez un œil sur les macaques formosans qui errent dans la région; leur présence ajoute une touche sauvage charmante à cette tranquille retraite de montagne.
Le long de la Central Cross-Island Highway, après avoir passé Jiuqudong (Tunnel des Neuf Tours), vous atteindrez Cimu Bridge (Pont de la dévotion maternelle). Ce pont suspendu en forme de H présente des lions en pierre de marbre à chaque extrémité et des pierres de lotus en marbre sur deux côtés. Sous le pont, un rocher ressemble à une grenouille, formé d'une couche de schiste noir sur le dessus et de marbre blanc sur le dessous. Un pavillon construit sur ce rocher en forme de grenouille sert de couronne, construit par le défunt président Chiang Jing-guo en mémoire de sa mère lors de la construction de l'autoroute. La zone pavillonnaire de Cimu, située sur le côté est du pont et construite par le défunt président Chiang Kai-shek, commémore également sa mère, Mme Wang.
Xincheng est un village situé à la base des gorges de Taroko, connu pour ses snacks et restaurants locaux Hualien. Son studio photo de style vintage fait un lieu de repos idéal à mi-parcours. Si vous avez des préférences alimentaires, n'hésitez pas à demander à votre Guide chauffeur des suggestions locales le jour même.
Qixingtan Beach est une pittoresque plage de galets située sur la côte Pacifique de Hualien, juste au nord de la ville. Son rivage en forme de croissant, ses eaux bleu profond et son arrière-plan montagneux en font un endroit idéal pour regarder le lever du soleil et prendre des photos. Les visiteurs peuvent faire du vélo le long du sentier côtier, se détendre dans des pavillons ou flâner devant des maisons animées et des installations artistiques. La nuit, la plage est tranquille, parfaite pour observer les étoiles et les vagues. Note : La baignade est interdite en raison des forts courants. Qixingtan est un incontournable pour ceux qui veulent profiter de la nature et de la sérénité lors d'un voyage à Hualien. Avant de terminer votre visite, écoutez les vagues qui s'écrasent sur les rochers et admirez la vue imprenable sur l'océan Pacifique.
Votre guide chauffeur personnel vous raccompagnera à votre hôtel / b & b dans la ville de Taipei à la fin de la visite.

It’s long day due to travel times. However worth the drag. Be prepared to climb and walk in the heat. Our guide was very accommodating and was happy to stop when we wanted.
Bubble was an amazing tour guide who gave us a great experience! Everything was timed out perfectly and we were introduced to all of the sights as Bubble discussed the history of Taroko. Even though most of the hikes are closed still, we had a great time and enjoyed no crowds and no admission fee. Highly recommend this tour, especially for foreign tourists and anyone with movement difficulties. Thank you Bubble, we had a great day!
Wonderful tour! Jack was an excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable tour guide. The ride was very comfortable. Jack took us to so many beautiful sights and provided lots of info about the gorge. Would highly recommend this tour!
This was a private tour, actually I was the only one in the tour. Caleb was my tour guide and he was awesome. Very knowledgeable about sites, history and everything in-between. Taroko gorge is amazing and we visited as much as was possible given the construction repairs after the earthquake (about 3 years ago). I highly recommend it!

Jack was a fantastic tour guide. Always attentive, informative, and knowledgeable. He knows all the spots to go and all the right ways to get there. Although the hiking trails in the park are closed post-earthquake, it is still open for driving tours and small stops along the way. Absolutely gorgeous and definitely worth it.

It was a wonderful day seeing Taroko National Park and other sites on the east coast of Taiwan. Jack was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and helped make the tour memorable. We highly recommend this tour even though it is a long day.

Very long day, mostly driving. 3 hours each way, + driving locally. Gorges are nice but not worth the distance. People should stay at least a couple days on site, and perhaps do local activities (beach, hiking)
Hi Joel, Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. You're completely right about the drive—it does take about 2.5 to 3 hours each way from Taipei, and holiday traffic can make it even longer. We always try to include a couple of rest stops for snacks and bathroom breaks to make the long journey more comfortable. We also appreciate your note about staying overnight. Since the 2024 earthquake, several gorge trails remain closed for safety. To adapt, our current day tour combines open paths with coastal activities at Qixingtan Beach. As the park continues its restoration, we look forward to adding more trails back into the itinerary. Thank you again for your valuable insights. We hope to welcome you back for a more relaxed, multi-day trip next time! Best regards, Lawson
My partner and I had a great time on this tour. Even though all the trails were closed due to the big earthquake in 2024, our tour guide, Steven, was still able to show us quite a few good spots to explore and take photos. Steven was very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and didn’t rush us and let us take our time to enjoy the beauty of Tarako Gorge National Park. Highly recommended.
