Taroko... National Park in Taiwan

Taroko is aboriginal in Taroko National Park, it was "Truku" but Japanese started to call them "Taroko" druing Japan still control Taiwan, and that's why this land names TAROKO.
You have to visit here if you you come to Taiwan because here have many wonderful view you never seen before. You know my english is broke so maybe can't not explain it very well but I would try.
In Taroko national park have many trails and you could see different view in each trails, like Shakadang trail, you could walk beside the Shakadang River and see lots different bugs and animals. Shakadang River is very green and the trail made on cliff. It made by japanese because they built a power-station in Li-Wu River and need a dam in Shakadang River as well, so they need this trail to dam when emergency. Shakadang trail long 4500M and suit family tour.
Besides aboriginal culture, here is another histroy about Taroko. In 1960, a high way from east to west is finish. It's not just a way to west from Hualien, it also need to through the mountains and river. It was a difficult work in Taroko. The 70% worker are veteran servicemans, they were fight for our country and moved to Taiwan with government. They start to build the high way in 1956. In 50 years ago, we don't have high technology to build this road in Taiwan, besides Hualien have earthquake, typhoon those natural disaster and terrain is very dangerous, so they couldn't use large machines to dig the cliff. They only could dig the cliff by chisel and hammer, move the rocks by their hands. My dad is a part of them and everytime when he talking about it, he just can't forget how difficult it was. There were 211 worker dead for bulid this way and it finally finished in 1960. Now we got a name in Chang Chun temple of people dead for this road and try to pacify their soul. Also we can't forget what's those people have done for us.
