However, the Tourism Bureau reminds the public that to avoid traffic congestion due to heavy traffic, it is advisable to consider nearby alternative attractions when planning your itinerary or to travel more via public transportation, while paying attention to related transport measures. Additionally, for those who prefer not to drive or find parking during the Lunar New Year holiday, they can make use of the 59 “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle” package tour routes launched by travel agencies under the guidance of the Tourism Bureau, as well as the 39 “Taiwan Good Bus” (scenic area shuttle bus) services operated by local county/city governments and national scenic area administrations, all of which will continue to operate as usual during the holiday.
