Our hearts go out to all those affected by the earthquake in Hualien.
On February 6, 2018, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of Hualien County, with an intensity of 7 felt in Hualien City. The damage was limited to some parts of Hualien City. Rescue operations are underway.
The road to Taroko Gorge, from the section of Dayu Ling to Taroko, has been temporarily closed due to sporadic rockfall. We will inform travellers once that section is already re-opened.
Taiwan Railways and all highways are in normal operation, except for a small part of Hualien City. All other scenic spots and tourist attractions are open as normal and travellers can feel at ease visiting these places.
