During the Spring Festival holiday, popular tourist spots across Taiwan are expected to be crowded. In addition to releasing an estimate of this year’s top ten congested scenic areas, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications has coordinated with road authorities, police, and relevant government agencies to enhance traffic management, increase parking spaces, and also operate 13 dedicated shuttle bus lines from February 10 to February 17 (an 8-day period during the Spring Festival travel season), in coordination with 22 Taiwan High Quality Shuttle Bus routes and 49 Taiwan Tourist Shuttle services to alleviate traffic congestion.

Based on past tourism conditions at various scenic spots during the Spring Festival, this year’s top ten predicted congested hotspots are the Jinguashi and Jiufen areas, Nanzhuang area, Sun Moon Lake and Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village area, Xitou and Monster Village area, Wuling Farm, Alishan, Guanziling, Fo Guang Shan, Kenting, and Chulu Ranch.
To encourage the public to use public transportation during the Spring Festival, the Tourism Bureau and related organizations have planned 13 dedicated shuttle bus lines for key tourist areas such as the Northeast Coast (Jinguashi and Jiufen), Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, Xiyala, Maolin, Dapeng Bay, Taroko, and Wuling Farm. These will complement the 49 “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle” tour packages and 22 “Taiwan High Quality Shuttle Bus” routes that will continue to operate as usual during the holiday.
