Zhuilu Old Road

The Zhuilu Old Trail extends along marble cliffs, reaching heights of 700 meters above the canyon floor of the Taroko Gorge National Park.

During the early 1900s, Japanese forces discovered this indigenous hunting path and expanded its width using local Truku workers suspended by cables.

The trail holds deep connections to the Truku indigenous people, who created the original 30-centimeter-wide path for accessing remote hunting grounds.

Visitors need three different permits to access the trail, including a police permit, an ecological protection permit, and verification of a Taiwanese emergency contact.

The current open section spans 3.1 kilometers through vertical marble cliffs, requiring hikers to navigate paths with thousand-meter drops beside them.
