NOTE:

Due to the severe damage caused by the April 3rd earthquake and the impact of Typhoon Kong-rey on October 31, 2024, the Buluowan and the Tinaxiang service stations, as well as the trails and scenic spots from Taroko to Tinaxiang (km 185.4–km 167.7) on Provincial Highway 8, remain closed. Bus services between the Taroko Visitor Center and Tinaxiang are currently suspended.

Note: 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.
