Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Taitung Pass has a new offering: Taitung County has extended its itinerary to include Sanxiantai and Green Island. Travelers who want to sample local street food in the city, enjoy impromptu music shows at Tiehua Music Village, explore attractions along the East Coast, and experience the charm of an outlying island on Green Island can choose passes such as the East Coast One-Day Pass, Urban & Green Island Pass, and Mountain-Sea & Green Island Three-Day Pass (original price NT$2,522, pass price NT$1,150); those who wish to explore the countryside in the longitudinal valley, enjoy the pastoral scenery, and take a hot air balloon ride can opt for the Longitudinal Valley Luotan One-Day Pass and Mountain-Sea Two-Day Pass (original price NT$1,172, pass price NT$390) to solve transportation inconveniences.

In addition, anyone purchasing a China Airlines Anywhere Freedom Travel package (flight + accommodation) from Songshan to Taitung for two people at a starting price of NT$3,730 per person will receive a Taiwan Tour Mountain-Sea Two-Day Transport Pass (limited quantity, while supplies last). Travelers taking the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle – East Coast Line can take a photo with the “Recruit East Coast Travel Experts” poster on the bus, upload the photo to the website of the East Coast National Scenic Area Administration under the Tourism Bureau, and have a chance to win the “East Coast Honorary Friend Card.” This card not only includes NT$5,000 in cash but also offers preferential packages from over 40 merchants. Additionally, travelers who keep their ticket stubs can also participate in the Weekly Prize Draw online. The lottery runs for 10 weeks from now until the end of July. Tickets for Taiwan Tourist Shuttle can be purchased at the Dindong Bus Mountain Line Terminal, Dindong Bus Sea Line Terminal, Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Longitudinal Valley Luotan Line drivers, Taiwan Tourist Shuttle East Coast Line drivers, and at 7-Eleven ibon locations across the province.
