The Baiyang Waterfall and suspension bridge
The fantastic Baiyang Waterfall trail in Taroko Gorge was once an easy walk along a flat wide road, but since the mountain above the first tunnel collapsed, it’s now a much harder and longer climb to get there. The trail began it’s life back in 1984 when the Taipower Company built the road to explore the valley’s potential for hydroelectric power. Outrage at the planned damming and diversion of water led to the project being shelved and finally abandoned in 1986 when Taroko Gorge regained its national park status. The road was then opened up to the public as a hiking trail.
