  • Pets: which trails are permitted pet dogs (or cats) to hike on in Taroko National Park?

    According to the National Park Laws item 13 prohibited activities in Taroko National Park “Bring pets into the Ecological Protection Area, Archeological Protection Area, and Special Scenic Area (excluding along the roadside) is prohibited.” Besides, in efforts to stop or prevent the spread of rabies in the park recreation area, make sure that your dog vaccinated for rabies before entering the Park. Also pet dogs are allowed to enter only if pet dogs are on a leash or kept them in the cages at the park recreation area (outdoors area only) (Only guide dogs are permitted to enter indoors.), such as Taroko National Park Headquarters Visitor Center and Buluowan, Tianxiang and Mt. Hehuan Service Stations to avoid disturbing other visitors or wild animals.
    The Swallow Grotto(Yanzikou) and Tunnel of Nine Turns (Jiuqudong) Trails are allowed pet dogs to enter (make sure your pet dogs are on a leash or kept them in the cages and vaccinated for rabies before entry.) because these 2 trails are along the roadside (the Provincial Highway 8). The rest of the trails within Park are prohibited pet dogs or other pets to enter. 

    Note: The Daqingshui area, Chongde Tunnel North Opening and Huide Tunnel North Opening Trails are also allowed pet dogs to enter on Provincial Highway 9 (make sure your pet dogs are on a leash or kept them in the cages and vaccinated for rabies before entry.) because these 2 trails (Chongde and Huide trails) are located at our recreation areas along the Provincial Highway 9 (Su-hua Highway).
