Master Bear Resort, Taitung

Master bear resort is located by the moutains and the away from the city. An ideal place to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature of the countryside.

I am actually contemplating whether I should post this. Marble factory is not exactly part of the main attactions to Taiwan, only part of the itinerary. But I do find that I took quite alot of pictures there.  As this is an tourist center sort, no indoor photography is allowed and I did not get anything there either.

It was early in the morning when we departed our hotel after breakfast. We headed to Taroko Gorge, our first destination. It was a winding road uphill.

Taroko Gorge

Taroko Gorge is one of the jewels in Taiwan. The mountain are made of marbles and protected by the goverment. This area of the gorge is also identified as Taroko Gorge National Park.

The Taroko Gorge is composed mainly metomorphic rocks such as marble, gneiss, "schist". etc. The name, Taroko means "magnificent and splendid" in the language of Truku, the aboriginal tribe who resides in the area.
