Shout out to @xiaofei for letting me use his amazing drone footage from a few years ago. Did you learn anything new while watching!? I certainly learned a lot that day. Just an FYI, our tour was through islandlifetaiwan and the coast is $2600 per person (not includng tip). Thank you for watching ❤️

[@Ambie86]

I thought it was cool how the lions were guarding the bridge...you would think a boy lion to be tough but he was playing with a ball LOL! Anyway, thought that was cool! :) Also how you could see the dynamite holes in the rock. Very crazy.

[@franceanna.taiwan]

love your videos !!!! I went to the hotel you had lunch this year and i kept a wonderful memory !!!

[@LayersOfJenn]

I loved all of the wood at the hotel!!! And thank you so much for watching ❤️

I love that you always try to show and teach as much as you can about the aboriginal sites of all places you visit

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yes because I feel like there is not that much information available in English. So I’m glad to share what I learn from Taiwanese English speaking guides !

[@DGM-TW]

@@LayersOfJenn yea, and i think you are the only one who shows this kind of info on youtube

[@SamFournier]

Wow! It was so interesting to learn about the face tattoos and the meaning behind them. You pack so much knowledge into these videos, I love it.

[@LayersOfJenn]

I’m trying because I’m also learning too so I think it’s interesting hopefully for others as well ❤️

[@southedinburgh1971]

I can visit the park again and again, there are many trails to explore and they are all breathtaking.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Exactly ! There are some many ~

[@elmohsiao8081]

Every time I watch your video, I feel like I want to watch more and I can’t bear to end it.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Aweeee you’re too kind thank you. It makes me very happy to read that 🥺❤️

[@ThunderForce.]

看完影片,我覺得「太魯閣」不是去一次就能體會它的美。 有時間,我必須再去一次,連同上次的回憶串聯起來...

[@LayersOfJenn]

Exactly!! I think you have to spend a lot of time in Taroko gorge to fully experience it.

[@lindyralph8792]

wow, this place is stunning. I love a good gorge 😃

Stunning video Jen! I really felt seen when you said it's harder on the knees when you hike down for some people. I'm 31, 32 in Feb and my knees make a lot of noise these days lol Loved all the natural beauty. Loved the hike, makes me want to hike in new places. Loved the drone footage at the end of the waterfall. Makes me feel super mindful, like I should sit in silence, treat my body well and meditate

[@LayersOfJenn]

My knees too. Even bending down now 🤣😅

[@DGM-TW]

The intro was like a very good suspense style movie Love it

[@LayersOfJenn]

Thank you!!! I played around with the intro and outro of this video too (along with my other hualien video) ☺️

[@DGM-TW]

@@LayersOfJenn the voice you made also helps to give that feeling I think you can do like an “audiobook” showing landscapes narrating a story hehe

[@LayersOfJenn]

Haha you’re wayyyyy too kind!

[@DGM-TW]

@@LayersOfJenn its the truth hehe

[@sacrefrenchie2132]

this was very very cool. I think it's so great that this is not the first time you have covered indigenous cultures that so many people might not know about or appreciate. Every one of your vlogs makes me want to visit Taiwan even more!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Not the first time you’re right and more info coming!! It’s really interesting for me to learn.

[@FRANCISCARUSOworld]

I hope I can visit Taiwan soon! Those beautiful landscapes… 😍

[@LayersOfJenn]

I hope so too :)

[@therealranou]

Omg this trip was so amazing /beautiful 💎 I just want to hop on a plane and go straight to the Taroko Gorge 🥲

[@LayersOfJenn]

We had such a blast. I filmed a lot more so, this will definitely not be my last video in hualien 😅😂

[@therealranou]

@@LayersOfJenn yay can't wait 🙏🏼

[@peterammermann1845]

I'm SOOO envious of you!!! That is one part of Taiwan that I still haven't had a chance to visit and that has long been on the top of my list!!! I've always loved the mountains, and, growing up, I hiked along a number of sections of the Appalachian Trail (which runs from Maine to Georgia, in the eastern US), but the mountains of Taiwan are SOOO much more majestic and dramatic than the Appalachian Mountains are! I've been able to visit Alishan (and experience the sunrise from there while watching the rivers of fog flow through the steep valleys below) and experience much of the mountain landscape in the southern half of Taiwan, but a chance to visit Taroko Gorge and its surrounding area has thus far eluded me. :'( But it's so nice to be able to experience it vicariously with you and Annie through your lens! And I love the curation of the experience! Thank you! :)

[@LayersOfJenn]

Wow you’ve done a lot!!!!! Maybe Taroko can be another place to add to your adventures 😉

[@marcusoconner2805]

Beautiful taroko ,I miss taroko. I guess it's Qixingtan beach in the end of video,because I saw the F16 fighter .I record some video of F16 fighter take off when I was in Qixingtan last month, looking forward to the next video

[@LayersOfJenn]

I haven’t seen fighter jets before so I thought it was really interesting looking

[@ronbeaubien]

A few years ago, in 2019, my family and I spent a day hiking several of the trails in Taroko Gorge in Hualien. One of the trails was quite high up and narrow. I remember looking up at the steep cliff and precariously perched rocks above us. Just one month later, there was a large earthquake and a Malaysian tourist was unfortunately killed by a rockfall on that same trail. Taroko Gorge is such a beautiful place, but it can be dangerous at times.

[@LayersOfJenn]

I’m sad to hear about the death. Maybe they Rest In Peace 🙏🏻

很喜歡你的視頻，總是那麼平和寧靜又充滿喜悅與熱情，從各種小細節的說明可以知道你的用心。台灣的原住民文化是世界級的寶藏，可惜的是隨時間傳承也在慢慢消失，不論是最知名的祭典、紡織、八部合音……，感謝你的介紹讓更多世界的人能看到。關於原住民與日本人的歷史戰爭還有彩虹橋，有一部台灣的史詩級電影【賽德克`巴萊】很悲傷很好看～推薦給你
