Taroko contains almost half of all the animal species in Taiwan, including the Formosan black bear and wild boar.

The park covers over 120, 000 hectares and rises from sea level in the east to over 3700m further west. The blue-green Liwu River cuts through the centre, forging deep slitted valleys and ravines before emptying into the sea.
