Renren Souvenir Shop

Eastern Taiwan & Taroko National Park


A wonderfully wacky one-stop souvenir stop for all your minicanoe and owl model needs, with a 'museum' in the house next door.

It's in the heart of Hongtou (Imaorod) village, one street back from the coast road and directly behind a shop with the confusingly similar name Wen Wen (km29.2, Rte80). That also has its own decent stock of souvenirs, plus good-value snack meals.
