3. Write a Paragraph

        Last year I took an unforgettable trip with my family to Taroko Gorge, a gorgeous scenic spot on the east coast of Taiwan. One of Taiwan’s main tourist attractions, Taroko Gorge is a marble canyon famous for its high-rising cliffs, deep river valleys, and uniquely shaped rocks. Following the hiking trails, my family and I went to see the red suspension bridge and the temples set in the mountains. We also visited the Eternal Spring Shrine, which is built over a waterfall and dedicated to the people who sacrificed their lives when building the Central Cross-Island Highway, which runs through the gorge. In the back of the shrine, there are stairs leading to a cave. When I entered the cave, the damp smell of the cave hit my nostrils like giant waves crashing violently on the seashore. It was so quiet that I could hear nothing but my own breathing. Immersed in the mysterious atmosphere in this cave, I could not stop staring at the beautiful rock formations there. Coming out of the cave, I saw magnificent mountains towering above the deep valleys. As I thought about the enormous power of the Liwu River carving on the gorge, I knew that this river and the untouched natural treasures of Taroko Gorge would always shine brightly in my mind.
