Walking through stone and time at Tunnel of Nine Turns, Hualien

#summervacay #discoverchina #june2025 #naturalwonders #bestview Tucked within the majestic Taroko Gorge, Tunnel of Nine Turns (九曲洞) is one of Taiwan’s most awe-inspiring geological trails—a dramatic meeting of mountain, river, and human ingenuity. Once a vehicular tunnel, it has now been transformed into a pedestrian-only walkway, allowing you to experience the soaring marble cliffs and deep-cut ravines at an intimate pace. The name “Nine Turns” comes from the winding, serpentine nature of the path, each curve revealing a new perspective of Taroko’s rugged grandeur. The rushing Liwu River roars far below, its blue-green waters carving ancient stories into the earth. The sheer scale of the cliffs—towering hundreds of meters above—makes you feel like a tiny visitor in a cathedral of stone. Small informational boards along the route narrate the region’s history and geology, enhancing the experience for curious minds. Travel tip: Access is by shuttle or car from Hualien city. Wear sturdy shoes, and bring a bottle of water. It’s advisable to check the Taroko National Park official site in advance, as trail access may be restricted due to weather or rockfalls. A walk here is not just scenic—it’s soulful.
