Itinerary

  • Hualien City

    Sakur Trail，According to historical documents and oral accounts, in the early years, the area around was abundant with Formosan alder trees, locally referred to as "Formosan alder feet." The Amis tribe called it "Sakur" . During the Japanese colonial era, when place names were being established, the area was renamed Sakura, pronounced as "Sakura" in Japanese kanji characters. In 2007, after the local residents officially named it the "Sakiraya Tribe," the people of the tribe chose to name it "Sakur." The "Sakur Trail" is a suburban trail constructed using natural ecological methods, suitable for people of all ages. It is approximately 1.35 kilometers in length, taking about 40 to 60 minutes to walk. Upon entering the trailhead, individuals can choose either the left or right path based on their personal stamina. It is recommended to take the right path as it is easier to walk along, with fewer steep ascents and stairs.

Thank you very much Allen...

Published on Dec, 2024

Thank you very much Allen for this day spent in your company. After the disappointment of the closure of Taroko Park, we greatly appreciated your enthusiasm, the wealth of information provided, the shares and the sites visited. Thank you so much for brightening our day. Laurence & Nicolas from France !

Great guide Allen and a full and wonderful experience

Published on Dec, 2024

We visited the Taroko National Park after the big earthquake that badly affected the east coast of Taiwan in April 2024 and the huge typhoons not long ago. Our tour guide Allen was not only fluent in English and mandarin, but professional, knowledgeable and despite the still- dangerous conditions of the park, he was most reliable. There was not many guides operating since the quake and the typhoon, but it was importantly for me to see the gorge— at least the parts that we were allowed to access. My guest who was visiting Taiwan for the very first time also had Taroko National Park as one of his must- visits. To my shame, I had my doubts due to the danger presented by the quake, the tremor reverberates still. My guest was the one who said, then that is all the more reason that we must see what we can see of if! Nature would do what nature would do- the gorge is still more magnificent than ever, and within reason and within safety, Taroko National Park still deserves to be seen. It is more awe- inspiring than ever.

The beautiful tailored trip to Taroko George

Published on Dec, 2024

Although many activities in Taroko George were suspended due to big earthquake in April 2024, Mr Alllen - the tour guide still managed us to see the stunning view of Taroko George. We walk and feel the beautiful of the landscape and with Mr Allen humor and deep knowledge about the culture and history of the land that make us enjoy the trip more. Highly recommend trip and must place to visit in Taiwan

Taroko National Park at its best

Published on Dec, 2024

Allen gave us nice details about the Taroku culture. He is a great and experienced guide, so the Taroko National Park was a true highlight of our trip. Highly recommendable!
