Following the most powerful earthquake in 25 years to hit Taiwan, four individuals tragically lost their lives in different incidents related to the natural disaster. The National Fire Agency (NFA) reported that three of the victims were hiking in Taroko Gorge, a renowned tourist spot known for its stunning natural beauty.
The hikers were struck by falling rocks while traversing the Dekalun Trail in Taroko Gorge, a picturesque marble-walled canyon located in Hualien County, the area closest to the earthquake's epicenter. The rugged terrain of the gorge, characterized by its raw and untouched landscapes, proved to be a dangerous setting during the seismic event.
