Highlights
  • Hualien City - Sakur Trail,According to historical documents and oral accounts, in the early years, the area around was abundant with Formosan alder trees, locally referred to as “Formosan alder feet.” The Amis tribe called it “Sakur” . During the Japanese colonial era, when place names were being established, the area was renamed Sakura, pronounced as “Sakura” in Japanese kanji characters. In 2007, after the local residents officially named it the “Sakiraya Tribe,” the people of the tribe chose to name it “Sakur.” The “Sakur Trail” is a suburban trail constructed using natural ecological methods, suitable for people of all ages. It is approximately 1.35 kilometers in length, taking about 40 to 60 minutes to walk. Upon entering the trailhead, individuals can choose either the left or right path based on their personal stamina. It is recommended to take the right path as it is easier to walk along, with fewer steep ascents and stairs.

Great alternative tour - Even though the Toroko Gorge was hit by an earthquake Allen organized a very nice alternative trip through the surroundings. We saw waterfalls, could do a hike and gotten a lot of information about the history of the country and it's inhabitants.

Highlights of Taroko. - Allen was an interesting, friendly and informative guide. He did not rush us and even kept us informed prior to the tour as to how far he was from collecting us from our hotel.

An excellent trip with an excellent guide - Allen couldn’t have been more helpful. He was in touch before the trip to arrange pick up from the Port. He then made sure we had such a good day. He was full of stories and facts about the trip. We loved the scenery and the walking. It was just stunning.

Beautiful gorge tour - Allen was an Amazing guide. He spoke great English and was very knowledgeable. He gave us many history lessons and stories. He dropped us off at many trails and gave us clear instructions on how to navigate. The gorge is small and narrow. He had to manage the vehicle while we walked. He was always waiting for us. We felt safe and well cared for. There is no way to see this gorge on your own or by using the bus. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Book with Allen! -- We loved our tour (: - This was a fantastic experience! Allen knows so much as a local guide and we learned a lot about the history of Taroko and Hualien! A private tour with Allen is one of the best ways to explore the park as well as the beaches! The tour was varied with Allen accompaning us on trails while also letting us explore on our own! He took the best pictures to capture our favorite moments! Allen is super accommodating with pick up and drop off at our hotel in Hualien. Taroko is stunning and Allen is a great guide!
