Excursions
The spectacular marble canyon of Taroko Gorge (tel: (03) 862 1100; website: www.taroko.gov.tw) in one of Taiwan’s six National Parks is the most popular day excursion. It includes a walk through tunnels and across a rope bridge below towering cliffs and visits to Taiwan’s most picturesque temple.
Sun Moon Lake is best as an overnight as waking up to the mist over the lake at the only boutique hotel outside of Taipei, The Lalu (tel: (049) 285 6888; website: www.thelalu.com.tw), is part of the experience. Temples and scenic walks dot the shore and a rowboat takes you to tiny Lalu Island. Both tours are offered by The Golden Foundation (tel: (02) 2773 3266; website: www.gftours.com.tw).
