Why it's still quiet

Taiwan is among the most under-visited places relative to how good it is. The east — Hualien, Taitung, Indigenous villages, hot springs between the Pacific and the mountains — sees a fraction of the west's traffic.

The friction

Earthquakes periodically close the Taroko sections.
