East of Taiwan Explore the East Coast

Taiwan is surrounded by the sea, each coastline unique in its own way, but none is as pristine, natural, and beautiful as Highway 11. Some say Highway 11 in the east is Taiwan's most beautiful coastline.

Whether traveling along the South-Link Highway to Taitung or descending from the north to the East Coast, every time visitors see the sea before their eyes, they are invariably struck by the breathtaking majesty of the East Coast's towering mountains, the indigo-tinted sea, the towering cliffs, and the breathtakingly majestic ocean.
