We took this road on our way south to Kenting. It was a beautiful day and he scenery was just stunning. The colors you get on photos are amazing and I really don't regret not having taken the train. Road is not dangerous, just similar to a mountain road.
Su-hua highway is mainly a 2-lane road, narrow and twisty in places, but nevertheless wide enough for truck traffic. Saw a heavy truck overturned on one of the curves. The highway affords beautiful views of the sheer cliffs and turquoise ocean, especially around Ching-shui cliffs.
风景真的很美,但延路小心对线逆向超车,或不熟悉山路的人会一直踩煞车,不好开如果没有把握,建议搭大众交通工具
专门安排走苏花公路,结果遇到天气不好,实在郁闷。据说夏天的苏花公路是最美的,碧海蓝天,在海边一路前行一定非常棒,下次一定再去。
美丽绝伦,不同时刻出现景色皆不同,每个转弯都会发现新的美景,让人忍不住的停留;但在雨季或是台风时,请尽量避免经过,较为危险。
We hired someone to drive us from Taipei to Yi Lan, Hua Lian and then back.The scenic highway was definitely a highlight of the trip.The trip took about 4 hours each way, winding along the coast on the mountain.So will be quite dangerous if it rains and landslides are common in typhoons.However still highly recommended to include this in your trip, maybe once down south and return by train or the other way round.
同事一听说过一个女孩子,开车走苏花公路,都觉得很不安全。可,在不知不觉中,我已开车走过许多趟苏花公路。苏花公路真美…海天一色…又临山,比起一高、二高当然是不方便,但美丽的景色是无可取代的。今年农历年我还会再去喔…
The road trip was a lovely experience of the city and provincial Taiwan passing through towns and cities. I liked the forest covered mountain and then the ocean meeting either a seashore or cliff, it is a sight to behold. There were look out points along the way and a rest area with clean toilets. There were also cheap local food to taste along way. The road though winding is safe and well paved. We also passed through several tunnels, including the Hseshan Tunnel the longest in Taiwan and one of the longest road tunnel in the world, as well as bridges. It is a truly lovely road trip.
We rented a car in hualien and drove down theCoast and also on the Rift Valley. It is a fantastic thing to do and I strongly recommend you rent a car since you'll see a lot of sights that are either not bus accessible or that have very infrequent service. The views towards the pacific on one side and the tall mountains on the other are unforgettable. You can find accommodation although you'll have to research a bit. Well worth it.
