Halfway between Hualien and Taroko
Gorge,
lies "Pratan" in
Taroko-zu "三棧 Sanjhan"
(THREE PEAKS)
in Mandarin.
It's a quiet village
of warm and friendly
Taroko.
They're happy to
share
two pristine mountain rivers
and
some of the
best hiking in
Asia.
Their
Visitor Center is a great place
to start,
and
guest houses and
campgrounds
keep you riverside at the trail's head.
An
hour's dip
in the
rivers beside town,
or a weekend adventure to the
golden grotto,
are both world class adventures.
Here's how you get here.
