Arch of Taroko, Xiulin Township, Hualien County, Taiwán
Officially the gate to the Central Cross-Island Highway, this is the first site visitors will encounter when entering Taroko National Park.
The Taroko National Park Headquarters and Visitor Center is located across the bridge to the right, while Taroko proper is located beyond this gate.
The area before the gate is busy with shops and hawker carts selling snacks and beverages. Make sure to stock up on snacks and refreshments for the day, considering the limited availability of shops once entering the park.
