Hualien (Taroko Gorge), Taiwan Free & Easy Tour Day 4

From Yilan County, we continued our journey from Luo Dong Rail Station to Hualien Rail Station to Taroko Gorge by Tze Chiang Express Rail. From the Hualien Rail Station, exit at the front station, go out of the station on the left hand side opposite the road, you can see the Orange building, Hualien Bus Station. We purchased the Taroko Gorge Pass each at NT $250 and move on to Taroko Gorge.


Bus to Taroko Gorge
As we reached Hualien at 1000hrs, time was limited for us to see all the Taroko Gorge. We went to three places, Taroko gorge visitor centre, Swallow Cave and the Eternity Spring. It was fun and the sight of the gorge was really beautiful. Do get a bus guide and plan the trip around the gorge as you travel. Timing of the bus is important as missing the bus will require quite a waiting time.

After Taroko Gorge, we travelled back to Hualien Rail Station and headed back to Taipei (around 2.5hrs through Tze Chiang Express Train). If you will like to travel around Hualien City, the bus service also offers round trip around the city. Do check with the bus service agent.
