I would have enjoyed this more if it wasn't so crowded with rude noisy visitors who openly smoked and crossed warning lines to take photos. The sea and the lovely structures were obscured by the stream of visitors and I just wished for the visit to end.

Taroko Gorge was lovely and the guide was fabulous. This was definitely worth a visit. The hotel pickup was at the crack of dawn - 6am and we got to the airport in time for a short flight to Hualien. The walk and tour around Taroko Gorge was much improved by the great commentary by our guide and she took us around to some less populated areas. She is also flexible and adjusted the tour well around what the three of us wanted or needed. Highly recommended!
