Timeless Journey Taiwan - Season 1 Episode 6 Taroko And The Cross-Island Highway
Central Taiwan is home to a stunning array of large, beautiful and dangerous mountains. The Central Cross-Island Highway cuts across the island making a journey from Taichung to Hualien possible without having to circle around the island. When the weather cooperates, the road offers spectacular scenic views. On the eastern side, the road runs through the Taroko Gorge National Park, with the final 20km or so of the road running through the Gorge itself. This highly traveled portion of the road is perpetually under construction ... construction which has claimed the lives of hundreds of workers over the life of the road. For the prepared traveler, this road like no other can be an excellent place to bike, motorcycle, drive or even walk. This gallery is directed not so much at the scenic views, but more at the marvel of this cross-island highway itself.
