After returning to Taichung City we slept and woke early to drive across the island to Taroko Gorge. Dan drove the entire way, through many tunnels (including a 12.9Km tunnel) and onto the narrow winding coastal highway that passes along many steep bluffs on the way to Taroko Gorge national park.
Taroko Gorge is made of incredibly deep slot canyons carved from granite. The water is a pearly blue. The old highway runs along the river, and was carved by hand during the occupation by Japan. We did some walking along the trail and ended up at the Hotel Formosa for the evening.
Now we are packing to hike and head back to Taipei, where tomorrow Cat and I have to take our leave of Taiwan and return to NYC. *Sigh*
