I’m just back from two amazing days in Taroko National Park and I too stayed at Rihang’s lodge. He’s a wonderful host.

For the bike-and-hike from the top of the gorge (well, actually Wenshan Hot Springs) the weather was perfect. Here’s a description and pictures of the experience:

On the second day, I hiked the Old Jhuilu Trail. Unfortunately, fog rolled in and the view disappeared. Walking the cliff-top trail was a treat. Again, here’s a post containing pictures from the hike: http://packinglighttravel.com/destinations/hiking-tarokos-old-jhuilu-trail/

I wasn’t so lucky myself, arriving at the Taroko National Park area to find that all the trails were closed due to bad weather (dangerous for such rocky areas). I still got to see the gorgeous Eternal Spring Shrine though, and despite all, Taroko is still a highlight of my Taiwan trip. Looks like I might be travelling back there someday.

Which trails would you recommend for the hike + bike? I’m planning to spend 2 days in Taroko next wk and I totally want to do this!

You could always just get a ride up to the hotsprings and then ride a bike back. Minimal effort required 😉 Still a great experience.
