With the opening of the Su-Hua Highway improvement project, traveling to Hualien and Taitung has become more popular. However, traffic jams during long weekends have also become a common problem. For those who want to drive to the Yi-Hua-Tung area, we have compiled three traffic-free routes to provide you with the freedom of driving while avoiding traffic jams.Blue Highway

2.【Avoid peak hours and take the Su-Hua Highway improvement project】
Compared to the original Su-Hua Highway, the Su-Hua Highway Improvement Project is like taking a shortcut, straightening out several winding sections of the road. However, this expressway is always congested during holidays. Especially, the two periods from 09:00 to 12:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00 are the most crowded.Su-Hua Highway Improvement Project on Provincial Highway No. 9When heading south to Hualien, it is recommended to stop at Dongshan River Park or Jinguashi for accommodation, dining, and rest to adjust the schedule and avoid peak hours. When heading north to Taipei, taking a break at the Hualien Container Starbucks can make the entire trip smoother and more relaxing.The scenic views of the old Su-Hua Highway

The original Suhua Highway is now renamed as the Taiwan Provincial Highway 9D. This route offers beautiful coastal and mountain scenery, allowing travelers to enjoy more natural landscapes.
