 | Taroko National Park is famous for the sheer marble gorge which rises up from the Liwu River. The occasional temple, pagoda, or bridge along the river's route is a blend of natural beauty and Chinese design. The park, however, is much more than just the gorge and includes several mountain peaks climbing from sea level to over 3,000 meters. The result is a range of natural wonders, including cliffs, waterfalls, snow-covered mountains, and virgin forests. Among examples of hydrothermal activity is Wenshan Hot Springs, a natural spa. Here hot mineral waters flow from a crack in a cave wall, fill a small pool, and drain into the cold waters of the Liwu River. | |
