Day 1(AUG28)

8:00 Depart Taipei and drive down Taiwan’s scenic east coast

10:30~11:00 Qing-shui Cliff 清水斷崖

Qingshui Cliff, located on the section of the Suao-Hualien Highway that stretches between Heping and Chongde stations, is one of the most spectacular sights on Taiwan's Pacific coast. The cliff is more than 1,000 meters high and drops almost vertically into the sea. The highway snakes along its curving face more than 20 kilometers, with the sheer cliff rising on one side and a sheer drop to the ocean on the other.

清水斷崖位於花蓮縣秀林鄉和平至清水之間長達22.7公里的路段，主要由大理岩、片麻岩及綠色片岩所構成且高數百公尺，是蘇花公路中最驚險壯麗的景觀，更是蘇花公路的精神所在，成為台灣八大奇景之一；清水斷崖除了是花東沿岸最壯觀的景色以外，更是欣賞日出、日落的絕佳去處，是台灣著名的賞景地點。

13:30 Lunch / Local cuisine

13:30~14:30 Mountain-Moon Bridge 山月吊橋

Visitors arrive to the Buluowan Suspension Bridge by following the trail adjacent to the Buluowan Idas Hall. At a length of 196 m, a width of 2.5 m, and crossing the Liwu Valley at a height of about 152 m, the Buluowan Suspension Bridge is the longest and highest bridge in Taroko National Park. From the bridge, viewers can observe from above the twists and turns of the Liwu River that, flanked by the steep walls of the gorge, form a magnificent cascade of overlapping layers with a view that extends all the way from the gorge to faraway mountains.

遊客沿著布洛灣艾達斯堂旁的步道到達布洛灣吊橋。布洛灣懸索橋全長196米，寬2.5米，高約152米，橫跨立霧谷，是太魯閣國家公園最長、最高的橋樑。站在橋上，觀者可以俯瞰蜿蜒曲折的立霧河，兩側是峽谷陡壁，形成層層疊疊的瀑布，景色從峽谷一直延伸到遠方的群山。步道東望立霧河谷西盤壩段，西望燕子口谷壁險峻壯麗。

15:00~17:00 Tunnel of Nine Turns 九曲洞

The 1,220m-long Tunnel of Nine Turns (Jiuqudong) Tunnel is the longest tunnel of the Central Cross-Island Highway, while the 700 meters long Tunnel of Nine Turns  (Jiuqudong) Trail is the best part of Taroko Gorge. The trail snuggles against the tall mountain and deep gorge. If you look down, you will see Liwu River gushing swiftly past the mountain walls facing each other so closely. You will be astonished at the craftsmanship of nature that has created these treacherous terrains.

九曲洞為中橫公路的一大奇觀，每令中外遊客嘆為觀止，中部橫貫公路在此穿山鑿洞而建，奇岩怪石，尖峰絕壁，道路曲折於堅硬的岩壁中，處處山洞、步步斷崖，上有奇岩峭立，下為深谷急流。崖標高一千六百六十公尺，其雄險可真讓人膽戰心驚。光禿禿的岩壁，更顯出山岩的錯綜猙獰；抬頭仰望，磅礡的氣勢，令人心驚動魄。在此斷崖的峽谷上方，天空盡被山勢所阻，非引頸仰望，不見青天，這就是所謂的「虎口線天」之景。中橫公路在此臨崖穿鑿，形成許多彎曲的山洞，故稱「九曲洞」。

Baiyang Waterfalls Trail 白楊步道

The Baiyang Waterfall Trail is characterized by the number of tunnels. Beginning with the entrance tunnel of 380 meters (by the Central Cross-Island Highway 900 meters west of Tianxiang) to the last tunnel before Water Curtain, you will pass through eight tunnels along the 2.1 kilometer trail ( the 4.2 km round trip will take about one hour and a half)

白楊步道是民國73年台電為了開發「立霧溪水力發電計畫」，所闢建的施工道路之一，當時台電陸續完成6條施工道路，引起學界、媒體、營建署關注，擔心一旦計畫完成，立霧溪中游的水皆被引用發電，下游河床將乾涸，靠立霧溪水切割所形成得太魯閣峽谷，將無水而難以繼續發育，峽谷景觀將大受影響，經建會彙集各方意見決定擱置「立霧溪水力發電計畫」。
