341. Taroko Gorge

 On the eastern coast of Taiwan sits the beautiful city of Hualien. The Spanish came here to mine for gold in the early 1600s, but it was not until around 150 years later that the first permanent settlement began in the rocky coastal terrain. Hualien is a small city that is mainly known as being a starting point for anyone visiting Taroko National Park. Inside the park lies Taroko Gorge, a 19km-long canyon that twists and turns through jagged cliffs. Today, Hualien has a listed population of just over 100,000 residents.
