Mrs. Selfish and I departed Green Island, heading North to the Taroko Gorge National Park.
One of Taiwan’s premiere natural tourist attractions, the park is named after it’s magnificently large gorge. While the gorge itself is quite beautiful, it is also quite dangerous. When we were there several of the trails were closed due to rock slides, which is apparently a fairly common occurrence.
Totally worth the (slight) risk, however. Check out the views!
