This site judges wind by the average wind speed at stations along the route (gusts are also considered when a station reports them). Luoshan wind gusts are often much stronger than the average wind speed. This is not a CWA warning; rely on the CWA weather advisories ↗ and on-site conditions.

Gas Stations Along the Route (in travel order, from OpenStreetMap)

Distances between stations are approximate values calculated along the route geometry (only gas stations within 500 m of the route are counted). OpenStreetMap is edited by volunteers, so stations may be missing or closed; check business hours on site. On remote stretches, plan your fuel carefully rather than relying on this data alone.
Elevation Profile (Shouka ⇄ Checheng Xinjie; highest approx. 463 m, lowest approx. 4 m)
The horizontal axis is distance along the route; the vertical axis is elevation (the height scale is exaggerated, so slopes look steeper than they are). Dots mark cameras (tappable) and stations. Elevation is estimated from AWS terrain data; tunnel and bridge sections are interpolated between their ends, so errors of several tens of meters are possible. For planning reference only.
Map
After opening the map, use the buttons to toggle layers. Dot colors follow the estimated road surface; tap a dot to see weather and the camera. Rainfall, temperature, and wind are from the nearest station to each point; road surface moisture is an estimate. Gas stations, stores, restaurants, and attractions come from OpenStreetMap and only include places near the route; check business hours and conditions on site. For closures and traffic control, rely on the Highway Bureau live traffic information ↗. The route line runs from Shouka to Checheng Xinjie, joined from the OpenStreetMap road network.

County Road 199 crosses the northern Hengchun Peninsula in Pingtung. It runs southwest from Shouka on Highway 9E through Dongyuan, Crying Lake, Mudan Reservoir, Shimen, and Sichongxi Hot Springs to Checheng, where it meets Highway 26. The road passes Paiwan communities and quiet mountain lanes popular among cyclists and riders looking for a less-traveled route.
There are no Highway Bureau cameras on County Road 199 itself. Cameras are shown near either end: Highway 9E at 11.8K (the County Road 199 junction) and Highway 26 at 18K, about 1.5 km south of the Checheng junction. Middle-section conditions are estimated from local weather stations; always check the road directly.
Highlights & Attractions
Shouka Cycling Rest Stop, Dongyuan’s wet grassland, Crying Lake, Mudan Reservoir, Sichongxi Hot Springs, and Paiwan community scenery.
Typical Weather
Mudan and Dongyuan can have humid, rainforest-like microclimates and summer afternoon showers. Strong winter Luoshan downslope winds may affect Checheng.
Riding Tips
Narrow lanes, blind curves, and oncoming minibuses require early yielding. Moss and leaves can make the road slippery after rain.
