High Cliffs and Deep Valley

After millions years, the streams of Taroko Gorge still tell the story of its formation. Both geologic uplifting and erosion by the Liwu River have taken that occasionally form walls hundreds of meters high, a phenomenon seldom found elsewhere in the world. In addition, there are magnificent mountains, such as the pyramid-like Central Peak, and the dramatic Chilai Mountains.

Atayal Aboriginal Culture

According to archeologists' research, human traces of a stone age level dating back to about 3,000 years ago have been found in this area. Atayal people mainly lived on slash-and-burn agriculture and hunting. The Atayal tribe has moved out of the Liwu River Valley since the beginning of the 20 century. Now there are only a few Atayal people living with their traditions in the park area.

Wild Animals

The Formosan Sika Deer was once scattered throughout forests on Taiwan. Now it's extinct in the wild. Therefore, reintroducing them into the wild and preserving them is one of the efforts of Taroko National Park.
