He-ren Beach Introduction
From the 168.5K mark on Suhua Highway, at the entrance to the He-Ren Trail beside the He-Ren Monument in Taroko National Park, walk down approximately 200 meters. After traversing a wooded path, you will arrive at He-Ren Pebble Beach. The first sight is the various sizes of stones on the beach, which originally fell from the cliffs above due to landslides and rolled down to the shore. Following this is a large expanse of clean and smooth pebble beach, made up of marble and gneiss gravel brought down by the Liwu River to the north and Qnagan River (He-Ren River), which has been transported and deposited by the sea. On the southern side of the pebble beach, there is a wide and flat sea erosion cave. Continuing further south, you will find massive gneiss cliffs with several large quartz veins running through them; such massive veins are quite rare in Taiwan. At the southernmost part of the pebble beach, you can see several elongated holes, some of which have penetrated through the rock layers.
