Hualien and Taroko Gorge

Taroko Gorge is said to be one of Taiwan's most beautiful sights and I had the fortune of seeing it thanks to HJ visiting from LA pushing me to do so! Much of the world's red and white marble comes from these mountains and it was wonderful seeing the beautiful patterns of hard rock worn away by untold years of flowing water. We were able to see the best of Hualien and Taroko thanks to a very helpful tour guide (who didn't speak English, but we had 2.5 Mandarin speakers with us) in a very short time. Definitely recommend a visit, and be sure to bring good shoes and an umbrella/rain coat!
