Taimali office redirects visitors from scenic road after bottlenecks cause traffic hazar
2026-09-30
Huayuan Bay in Taitung’s Taimali has become a popular tourist destination thanks to a road in the rural township that looks straight out over the Pacific. But since the road is narrow and steep, vehicles are often unable to pass each other. The township office has mapped out an alternate route and put up signs warning non-residents to avoid driving directly up the mountain to help ensure the safety of visitors as well as locals.
Under perfect blue skies, the pavement seems to stretch out endlessly into the Pacific Ocean. This picturesque lane near Huayuan Bay in Taitung’s Taimali Township has become a viral sensation.

Lives near picturesque site
Everyone comes to the guardrail by the turn to see the ocean or passing trains.
This new viral destination was discovered by a Taipower employee who was repairing storm-damaged power lines up a nearby mountain. While on a break, he discovered the spot was not only perfect for viewing the ocean, but also for seeing the nearby highway and passing trains with the right timing. Later on, he brought his wife to enjoy the view, who posted about it online.

Recounting an accident
A motorbike slipped here. The driver was covered in injuries.
While beautiful, the spot also holds hidden dangers. Since the roadway is narrow with a steep grade, tourists often get into accidents. And during holidays, heavy traffic causes congestion when trying to pass oncoming vehicles or find parking, causing headaches for the locals.

This road is primarily used by residents for agricultural activities. So when passing oncoming traffic, there’s a legitimate safety concern.
Chen Ying, who’s running for Taitung County commissioner, took to social media to steer non-residents away from using the road. The Taimali Township Office has also posted notices recommending that visitors take the gentler Xiushan section of County Road 60 instead to ensure the safety of locals and tourists alike.

驚! 台東網紅秘境"路超陡.難會車" 車輛頻進退兩難
2026-09-30
台東太麻里的華源海灣，因為筆直的產業道路，能直接看到太平洋，成為新的網紅秘境。不過因為產業道路狹窄，加上坡度很陡，經常發生無法會車、進退兩難的狀況。目前，太麻里鄉公所已經規劃新路線，並製作告示牌，請非居民不要直接上山，以確保農民及遊客出入安全。
碧海藍天之下，筆直的道路看起來直通太平洋，這裡是台東太麻里最新的網紅勝地，華源海灣的產業道路。

“轉彎的欄杆，大家都來看海，或是看火車”
這個景點會曝光，是一名台電人員，風災後上山搶修電線，休息時，意外發現這裡除了可以欣賞太平洋，還能看到南迴公路及南迴鐵路，算準時間就能看到火車行駛而過。事後他休假帶妻子上山欣賞美景，妻子把美照po上網，在網路掀起話題。

“那個摩托車有滑倒，全身都是傷這樣啊”
只是漂亮的秘境，卻暗藏玄機。狹窄的道路，加上陡峭的斜坡，讓慕名而來的遊客經常發生車禍。休假期間，大量遊客也造成會車跟停車問題，讓附近的農民很困擾。

“這個產業道路，可能是在地居民，他們在做農業使用的時候會經過的道路，那所以在會車的部分，他們可能會有安全上的疑慮”
台東縣長參選人陳瑩也曾在社群平台呼籲，請非村民不要從產業道路上山，太麻里鄉公所也在原道路設置公告，建議改從比較平緩的東60線秀山段上山，好確保農民及遊客出入安全。
