No trip to Taiwan is complete without traveling Taiwan's Central Cross-Island Highway.  The spectacular array of scenery takes visitors through rugged mountain peaks, alpine forests, lush valleys of palm trees, steep cliffs, rushing rivers, rocky streams, hot springs, lakes and seas. 

The highway branches into two forks at Tai Yu Ling.  The southern fork will take you over Hehuan Mountain down past Ching Jing, Wushe, Puli and on to Sun Moon Lake.  The eastern fork leads travelers through the marble magesty of Toroko Gorge and on to Taiwan's east coast, where it eventually meets up with the Suao-Hualien Highway.
