Silks Place Taroko
A sumptuous place to spend a Taroko Gorge night is at the refined Silks Place Taroko hotel, where dark-stain wood is the dominant interior theme, smartly complementing the marble-white facade. It’s located at the edge of Tianxiang on a picturesque perch – atop the low-plateau point where the Liwu and Dasha rivers meet before the combined waters rush through the inner gorge for more forceful rock-sculpting. The riverbed here is strewn with massive boulders of widely differing striated artwork – including one of pure marble – and macaques make their way down the steep wooded slopes for a drink in the morning. Though deep in a gorge that is a Mother Nature aesthetic tour de force, a stay at this hotel is time spent in the lap of manmade luxury.
The range of amenities and special activities is too sweeping to cover fully, but a number stand out. There is a full spa, along with two superb pools, one indoor and one outdoor. The latter is on the roof, beside it a Jacuzzi, with both offering a wonderful 360-degree panorama. Indoor and outdoor activities oriented toward both kids and adults are offered. Of special note are the guided tours, Truku-theme weaving sessions, nighttime indigenous dance shows in the lovely inner courtyard and mini-concerts by the rooftop poolside fireplace, and Moonlight Cinema showings by the rooftop pool, with patio loungers as seating.
The restaurant dinner and breakfast buffets have a delicious range of international and Chinese choices, and Retreat Floor (VIP) guests can choose to take breakfast in the sun-drenched rooftop Retreat Lounge, with Eastern/Western set meals. (Rooms, all very large, start at NT$8,000)

Baiyang Trail
The Baiyang Trail begins with a dramatic human-engineering flourish. You dive directly from the roadside into a straight-as-an-arrow 380m-long tunnel (bring a flashlight!) that pierces a mountain from the main gorge to a secondary gorge. At the end of the even-grade 2km section of the trail is a golden prize, which bursts into view upon exiting a tunnel. At a footbridge leaping a deep-cut cleft carved by a waterway seemingly too modest for the task, a lofty twin cataract plunges ethereally downward from vertigo-inducing heights. The trail was constructed as a narrow cliff-hugging road by the Taiwan Power Company in 1984 for use in a later-cancelled hydropower project. There is in fact a further section beyond the present trail, currently closed for safety reasons.

Tianxiang and other TAROKO trails - Taiwan
Tianfeng Pagoda (located at Tianxiang), the trail from Lushui to Heliu, the Tunnel of Nine turns trail, the Swallow groot trails... are some of the great trails you can do in Taroko National Park --
Visitar la pagoda de Tianfent (en Tianxiang), hacer el espectacular trail que va desde Lushui hasta Heliu, el tunnel de las nueve vueltas (tunnel of nine turns trail), que actualmente se encuentra cerrado debido al paso del Tifón Morakot en el año 2009, o el Swallog Grotto Cave trail son algunos de los increíbles trails que se pueden hacer en el Parque Nacional de Taroko, Taiwan

HUALIEN - Taroko National Park
Taroko National Park is part of a county composed of many smaller units. If they are called villages, I really would not know. Each one has something unique to offer, but the general layout is defined by the huge rocks all over the place. Just a bus away from Hualien's Train Station, this is one of the must-see places in eastern Taiwan.
