Although Provincial Highway No. 8 has been reopened to traffic since August 2024, it remains under time-restricted access due to ongoing road construction. Daily traffic is released five times: 06:30–08:00, 10:00-10:05, 12:00–13:00, 15:00-15:05 and 16:30–17:30. From 17:30 to 18:30, vehicles are allowed to exit but not enter, and the highway is closed at night. Road surfaces and guardrails have not yet been fully repaired, and the risk of falling rocks remains high, especially after heavy rain or earthquakes. Entry is not advised unless absolutely necessary.

Additionally, while park facilities are gradually being restored, geological risks persist. The Central Cross-Island Highway and adjacent sites—such as the Eternal Spring Shrine, Shakadang Trail, Yanzikou (Swallow Grotto), Buluowan Terrace, Zhuilu Old Road, and Jiuqudong (Tunnel of Nine Turns)—remain closed for reconstruction. Visitors are advised to respect all safety regulations, only visit areas that are officially open, and not enter restricted zones.

Suggestion 2.

It is recommended to visit Hehuan Mountain area (elevation about 3150-3300 meters) on the west side of our jurisdiction.

Please enter from west Taiwan from Puli, Nantou County, use the Provincial Highway 14 and 14A. Please arrange your lodging and transportation before your trip and bring warm clothes with you and require at least a 2-3 day trip planning. Please check the road and weather conditions before your trip. 

 

It is recommended to visit the Hehuan Mountain area [link] (elevation approximately 3,150-3,300 meters) located on the west side of our jurisdiction. You can access it from western Taiwan via Puli, Nantou County, using Provincial Highways 14 and 14A. Please arrange your lodging Songxue Lodge  and transportation in advance, and be sure to bring warm clothing. A 2-3 day trip is recommended for a more complete experience. Remember to check road and weather conditions before your trip.

  

The Hehuan Mountain area is about 3,100-3,400 meters above sea level, with a temperature difference of approximately 18-20 degrees Celsius between high and low altitudes areas. The temperature difference is smaller when the weather is sunny but can drop significantly in cloudy or rainy conditions. Therefore, please make sure to bring enough warm clothing. Additionally, when walking on the trails, it is important to maintain a slow pace due to the thin air at high altitudes area. Be cautious of high-altitude sickness symptoms. It is recommended to stay one night at a mid-altitude area around 1,200 m to 2,000 m (e.g., a B&B or guest house near Qingjing Farm) to acclimate before tackling the trails the next day. This can help reduce the likelihood of altitude sickness.

 

As it tends to get foggy and rainy in the afternoon in high mountain areas, be sure to bring rain gear and a headlamp (or flashlight). Cell phones consume more power in high-altitude areas, so please bring a portable power bank for your phone and spare batteries for your headlamp or flashlight.
