Taroko National Park (Chinese: 太魯閣國家公園;
pinyin: Tàilǔgé gúojiā gōngyuán; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Taroko kok-ka kong-hn̂g) is one of
the seven national parks in Taiwan and was named after the Taroko Gorge, the
landmark gorge of the park. The park spans Taichung City, Nantou County, and
Hualien County.
The park was originally established as the Tsugitaka-Taroko
National Park (次高タロコ国立公園 Tsugitaka Taroko kokuritsu
kōen) by the Governor-General of Taiwan on December 12, 1937 when Taiwan was
part of the Empire of Japan.

The name, Taroko, means "magnificent and
beautiful". Long ago a Truku tribesman saw the beauty of the azure Pacific
when he walked out of the gorge. On seeing the magnificent scene, he cried
"Taroko!". And so it became the name of the place, in a fashion not
dissimilar to how the island, Formosa, got its name.

Eternal Spring Shrine (also Changchun Shrine, Chanchun
Shrine; simplified Chinese: 长春祠; traditional Chinese: 長春祠; pinyin: Chángchūn cí; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiông-chhun-sû;
literally "Ancestral shrine of Eternal, or Long, Spring", is a
landmark and a memorial shrine complex in Taroko National Park in Taiwan, in
Hualian County near town of Xiulin. It is one of the major picturesque points
of the park, with the view of the mountains and the waterfall, and one of the
main memorials for veterans.
The name of the temple comes from the Changchun Falls that
never stop running. The Shrine is located right above the waterfall streams.
