Gas Stations Along the Route (in travel order, from OpenStreetMap)
- ⛽ CPCapprox. 10.9K /
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 (Wushe ⇄ Dayuling; highest approx. 3273 m, lowest approx. 1175 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 Wushe to Dayuling, joined from the OpenStreetMap road network.

The Hehuan Mountain Highway follows Provincial Highway 14A for about 41.5 km from Wushe, Ren’ai Township, through Qingjing, Cuifeng, and Kunyang to Wuling, the highest point on Taiwan’s road network (3,275 m). It then passes the Hehuan Mountain Visitor Center and Xiaofengkou before reaching Dayuling and Highway 8. The climb from Wushe, at about 1,150 m, gains more than 2,000 m. Prepare both your vehicle and yourself for long, steep, winding mountain driving or riding.
High-elevation temperatures can be more than 10°C below the lowlands. Afternoon fog and rain are common even in summer, while snow and ice can affect winter access. Snow chains may be required during controls. Eight Highway Bureau cameras cover the route.
Highlights & Attractions
Taiwan’s highest roadway, dramatic cloud seas, and winter snow. Highlights include Qingjing Farm, Cuifeng, Kunyang, and Wuling Pavilion.
Typical Weather
Large day/night temperature swings and afternoon fog. Icy or snowy conditions and restrictions are most likely in winter, particularly December–February.
Riding Tips
Engines can lose power at high altitude. Use engine braking on long descents. Shiny dark ice can be extremely slippery. Follow posted snow-chain requirements and closure notices.
