Taroko Gorge Transportation Tips by mim95 Top 5 Page for this destination

There are VERY limited public transportation to and within Taroko Gorge. We got there by bus from Hualien to the visitor center in Taroko, stopped by for a bit, then took another bus to Tienshiang.

The bus service between Taroko and Tienshiang was infrequent, less than 10 buses on a day. So plan your activities with the bus schedule in mind.

We decided to walk from Tienshiang to Yentzukou (Swallow Grotto), which was a downhill walk on the Central Cross Island Highway, which wasn't that bad. But be sure to bring a flash light as you'll be walking in tunnels with traffic going right by you!

It was about a 5-hour walk, including the resting and stopping time to take photos along the way. We then took the bus at Chinheng Garden to go back to the Hualien train station.
