Hiking and Trails in Taroko

Taroko National Park has many trails for visitors to explore. Some popular trails are easy to walk, like the Shakadang Trail. This trail follows a clear river, and you can see beautiful rocks and water.

The Swallow Grotto (Yanzikou) Trail is another easy walk. You can see the narrowest part of the gorge and holes in the cliffs where swallows build their nests.

For more experienced hikers, there's the Zhuilu Old Trail. This trail is on the side of a cliff, so you need a permit to hike it. The views from this trail are amazing! Remember to wear good shoes and bring water when you go hiking.
