Taroko Area Map
On April 3, 2024, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck Hualien, followed by the impact of Typhoon Kong-rey on October 31, causing severe damage to the park. Many areas suffered from landslides, falling rocks, and damaged facilities. Due to ongoing aftershocks and the impact of the typhoons, repair and restoration work has been significantly delayed. The reopening dates for trails and scenic spots in Taroko Gorge (Taroko–Tianxiang) remain uncertain, and the repair work may take a long time.
