Expressing Gratitude for the Support and Care Shown to Taroko
Director Liu Shou-Li of Taroko National Park stated that the annual Taroko Gorge Music Festival has long been loved by visitors. This year, the event has been upgraded into a series titled “Taroko Gorge Art & Music Festival,” featuring performances from August through November, culminating in a grand finale.
Director Liu emphasized that after the April 3 earthquake, Taroko has gone through recovery and rebuilding thanks to broad support. This concert in Taipei was not only to express gratitude but also to convey that Taroko has revived — welcoming everyone to return and experience its natural beauty once more.
