Canyon or Gorge-Taroko in Taiwan

The name Taroko means the "magnificent and splendid". Thats precisely what you feel when you are at Taroko.The naming has a story behind which says that a Truku aboriginal trible saw the beauty and cried "Taroko",astonished by the elegance of the scene.

Taroko Gorge and its surrounding are are well known for their abundant supply of marble leading to it nickname, "The marble Gorge"

The rocks seen began sedimenting years ago...The gorge itself was carved into the marble by the erosive power of River Liwu.

Thats for research and information....We drove around and stopped walked trails and spent the whole day admiring the marvels of nature finally to head home by 8...

It was a great trip...check out the photos above....the place is well worth a visit...if you are in Asia..
