Taroko National Park, one of Taiwan’s top destinations for foreign tourists, closed one end of the Tunnel of Nine Turns at Taroko Gorge Jan. 29 after a Chinese tourist was struck and killed by a falling rock. Park administrators have known that falling rocks in the area are a serious danger, to the point that they provide visitors with free hard hats, remove unstable rocks from the cliff, post warning signs, even insure visitors while in the park. The solution now is to close the area until other measures can be considered.
