On the 14th, continuous heavy rain on the Su-Hua Highway caused landslides, leading to traffic disruption. In addition to adding more train services, Taiwan Railways saw hotels in eastern Taiwan, tourist bus companies, and hot spring operators in Zhiben, Taitung, offer attractive discounts. Notably, the Hualien County Hotel Association and the Homestay Association have launched joint campaigns with local businesses, including discounted stays in Hualien during the spring travel season with chances to win big prizes and complimentary local gifts. The grand prize is a car, aiming to encourage tourists to use public transport to visit Hualien.

The Tourism Bureau stated that the Su-Hua Highway is expected to reopen to small passenger vehicles by December 31st, to 20-ton medium buses before Lunar New Year, and to large buses after the Spring Festival.
