A Cross-Island Tour
After
Taichung
your first stop is the Chung Tai Chan Temple in
Puli
, an amazing centre
of Buddhist art and research. After Puli the highway rises into the Central Mountains,
where one gorgeous landscape after another begs to be photographed. For a side trip head
to
Aowanda Forest Recreation Area
, a top birdwatching venue, and spend a night in
little cabins among cherry and plum trees.
Returning to Hwy 14, continue to the end to find the
Nenggao Cross-Island Historic
Trail
. You can walk the whole thing or just hike in and spend a night in the cabin before
heading north up Hwy 14. Prepare for an endless windy road and numerous washouts -
and a stunning landscape of receding blue-tinged mountain ranges.
