Undoubtedly one of the best places to visit from Taipei is Taroko National Park. Situated in the Qilai and Nanhu Mountain ranges, this national park centers around the stunning Taroko Gorge which carves through the mountainside’s marble rock. Before entering the gorge visitors often stop at the Qingshui Cliff to see the beautiful coastal scenery there. Once inside the national park, head for the picturesque Eternal Spring Shrine which has a waterfall flowing through it. Taroko National Park boasts quite a few hiking trails like the Lushui and Baiyang trails which showcase the park’s beauty. Other scenic spots worth stopping at include the Xiangde Temple which has a panoramic terrace, as well as the suspension bridge by the shrine at Yuewangting.
