The high mountain area is wet, cold and foggy, so the petals are light snow color, the heart of the pink Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms look like a layer of haloed in the sea of snow-white clouds on the mountain, when the mountain breeze swept by, the face of the cherry blossom rain like snowflakes, the weak gesture of the wind let a person feel the bleak and beautiful disappointment. But if the weather is clear in the afternoon, the halo of the setting sun before dusk shines on the cherry blossoms, the petals, which normally look fragile and tender, seem to absorb the essence of the sunlight and turn into an extremely delicate pink color, which is completely different from the two flower faces, surprising.

"Taiwan's Three Gorges" Taroko Grand Canyon
Taiwan's Three Gorges Taroko Grand Canyon is located in the northwest of Hualien County in eastern Taiwan, with canyons and mountains as the main topographical features, canyon terrain to the Li-Wu Creek is the most representative. For millions of years, the abundant water of Li-Wu Stream has been eroding downward as it races down from Mount Hohhuan, which is more than 3,000 meters above sea level. The water cuts made the canyon deeper and deeper, forming today's vertically steep U-shaped Grand Canyon, with a depth of up to 100 meters. Standing on the side of the road cut out of the cliffs and looking down, the depth is unbelievable. There are three sections of the Grand Canyon that are the most treacherous, known as the "Three Gorges of Taiwan".
Tarugu comes from the Taiya language of Taiwan's ethnic minorities, which means "barrel". The terrain here is dangerous, and in ancient times it was a battlefield, with stone bunkers everywhere, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, just like an iron bucket.
One of the spectacular sights in Tai Lu Canyon is the "Tiger's Mouth Line of Heaven". Cliffs next to the remnants of the wall, people in the gorge, only see three sides of the cliffs, look up and only see the valley sky line. As the canyon's fracture line is irregular, the dangerous cliffs are crisscrossed, turning left and right, and the tunnels drilled into the belly of the rock are one after another, just like entering a labyrinth in the underground tunnels, which is a great spectacle in the Taroko Gorge.
