Description
[Sun Moon Lake]
The most famous attraction in Taiwan. With over 100 square kilometres, the lake got its name because the northern part of it has the shape of the sun and the southern part of it has the shape of crescent moon.
[Kenting National Park]
It is Taiwan’s first National Park, established on Jan. 01, 1984. The park is superbly located. Spanning the Hengchun Peninsula, it faces the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Bashi Channel to the south, and the Taiwan Straits to the west. The name Hengchun Peninsula says much about the area’s attractions, for it means “Eternal Spring.”
[East Coast National Scenic Area]
It is known as "Taiwan's last unspoiled land," stretches 170 kilometres down the east coast of the island from the mouth of the Hualien River in the north to Xiaoyeliu in the south. Weathering, erosion, and accumulation have produced a wide range of landforms here, including coastal terraces, sand and pebble beaches, shoreline reefs, inshore islands, and capes along with sea-eroded platforms, trenches, and caves. This varied topography provides habitat for a rich diversity of flora and fauna.
[Taroko National Park]
This park is famous for its spectacular mountains and marble canyons. Cliffs and canyons stretch along Liwu River. Four million years ago, the island of Taiwan was formed by the collision of plates. After millions of years of wind erosion, the marble rocks were exposed and cut by Liwu River, creating impressive grand canyons. From Qingshui to Nanhu Peak, the drop height is 3,742 meters. Such special geography has also bred special flora and fauna in this area.
