The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is here, and the aroma of zongzi fills the air across Taiwan. This holiday break is different from previous ones, featuring a new tourism highlight: Taiwan’s first barrier-free high-altitude mountain skywalk, the Qingjing Farm High-Altitude Viewing Walkway, which will hold its inauguration ceremony on May 27 (Saturday), the first day of the holiday. Coupled with the fact that the Azalea Season at Hehuan Mountain is in full bloom, this poses a significant traffic challenge. The Nantou County Police Bureau has formulated and implemented seven major traffic management measures. Visitors planning a family trip to Nantou should pay special attention to traffic conditions and updates on the CMS variable message signs along the way. Also, please note that the high-altitude walkway currently operates on an “appointment-only basis,” meaning visitors should not go there without prior booking.

For other popular traffic and tourist spots such as Zinan Temple, Xitou, Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village, and Sun Moon Lake, besides tuning into live traffic updates on the Police Broadcast Network and National Traffic Radio in Taichung, you can also check real-time footage through the iNantou App and the Nantou Scenic Area live feeds. We also encourage visitors to Nantou to be aware of the county’s congested roads and peak hours, and try to avoid them or take alternative routes.
Seven Major Holiday Traffic Management Measures — Congestion Alerts, Tech Integration, and Alternate Routes
Nantou, known as the capital of tourism, is a favorite destination for many travelers. The police bureau has always placed great emphasis on the county’s traffic management, aiming to ensure visitors enjoy their time here and return home safely. We would like to reiterate that all travelers must stay alert to traffic conditions. With many mountain roads in the area, please avoid illegal overtaking and U-turns, as causing accidents would do more harm than good.
