The Taroko Archway, also known as the "East-West Highway Archway", is located at the south end of the Jinwen Bridge in Fushi Tribe, Xiulin Township, Hualien County. The Taroko Archway has an elevation of 60 meters and its mileage is 187.5 kilometers away from Provincial Highway 8. With the development of tourism, the East-West Crossing Highway Archway has become a world-famous landmark, and has also become the best representative landmark of Hualien in different eras.

Taroko National Park In the 12th year of Showa (1937), the Governor-General of Taiwan intended to designate this place as a national park. At that time, it was called "Second High Taroko National Park". It was also one of the earliest national parks in Taiwan. In Japan During the Qing Dynasty, this was an important distribution area of the Taroko tribe, so it was called "Taroko" in its pronunciation at that time.

On the gable about 80 meters east of the archway of the East-West Crossing Highway is the inscription "Luge Changchun", which was inscribed by the famous domestic calligrapher Zhao Hengti. The construction of the east-west transverse highway started on July 7, 1947, and was officially completed and opened to traffic on May 9, 1949. This archway was also built due to the opening of the East-West Crossing Highway. The Jinwen Bridge next to the archway was originally a suspension bridge. It later entered history when the Suhua Highway was widened and converted into a concrete bridge in the 1960s of the Republic of China.

The main body of the Taroko Archway has three rooms, four columns and three floors. The eaves are in the form of a single-eaves verandah roof, covered with golden glazed tiles.

However, due to years of exposure to the sun and rain, the color of the glazed tiles has lost its former glory. The pillars of the archway are painted vermilion, and the two lintels of the main building are painted with the pattern of "Two Dragons Grabbing the Pearl." There are six plaques between the two lintels. The plaques are in gold characters on a black background, from right to left. Arrange in order: "East", "West", "Heng", "Guan", "Gong", "Road". The eaves of each room are decorated with ridge beasts. The main building has a ridge beast at each end of the main ridge, and the eaves corners of the four vertical ridges also have a ridge beast. The side buildings on the left and right sides have only one main ridge and There are two vertical ridges, so the ridge beast is designed with one main ridge and two vertical ridges, for a total of six ridge beasts. The column bases of the Taroko archway are all made of uncarved white marble pillar stones. There is also a stone lion on one side of the archway, but not on the other side because it is close to the rock wall.
