Discover the natural beauty and rich history of Taroko Gorge on this private full-day tour from Taipei. Your personal driver-guide will take you through dramatic marble canyons, river valleys, and coastal views while providing insights into the cultural landmarks and geological forces that have shaped the landscape—including recent changes from the 2024 Hualien earthquake.

Begin your journey with a scenic drive from Taipei to Taroko National Park, entering through the iconic Taroko Archway, then stopping at the Visitor Centre to learn about the area’s tectonic history and natural evolution. Visit the Eternal Spring Shrine, a memorial to the workers who built the Central Cross-Island Highway, and take in the peaceful valley of Tianxiang, where river terraces and occasional sightings of Formosan macaques create a tranquil mountain atmosphere.

Continue to Cimu Bridge, home to marble lions, lotus carvings, and the famous frog-shaped rock with a pavilion dedicated to maternal devotion. Along the way, you’ll also enjoy a local lunch or snack break in Xincheng, a village known for Hualien-style bites and nostalgic photo spots.

Before returning to Taipei, unwind at the scenic Qixingtan Beach. This crescent-shaped pebble beach offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, framed by lush mountains. Stroll the waterfront, take photos, or simply relax to the sound of crashing waves (no swimming due to strong currents).

This private tour offers flexible pacing, personalised service, and access to both iconic sites and lesser-known highlights of eastern Taiwan—perfect for nature lovers and cultural explorers alike.
