One male 40+, no sign, one small and one big backpacks, a cloudy day. On my way from Chiayi to Taichung.I didn't like that place. But others recommended it, plus there was no much choice.
I was standing a couple meters before the turn right, leading to the highway going up north. There was no much place to stop, basically the scooter lane. The cars going straight also were passing by. It was still an urban area, I was standing in front of a closed shop. And a parked car was blocking my visibility.
I think using a sign could help. Or maybe moving a bit up on the ramp leading to the highway. But there is no space to stop. Basically it's a bit puzzle place.
Luckly it's Taiwan, so I got a ride.
The first car stopped after 10 minutes, but the guy wasn't going very far, so I passed. The second car stopped 7 minutes later. The guy was going south, but he wanted to buy me a bus ticket. It was a bit hard to persuade him, I don't really need one.
Finally 8 minutes later, one small lorry stopped and a driver took me all the way to Taichung. He even dropped me at the address I was going to. Welcome to Taiwan :)
25 minutes isn't such a long wait. But so far it was my longest in Taiwan.

One male 40+, no sign, one small and one big backpacks, a sunny day. On my way from Kaohsiung to Chiayi.I got dropped here by a previous ride.
A very good spot, (like most petrol stations on highways). I was waiting at the end, by the exit. There is just enough space for a car to stop. Very good visibility. Of course cars go slowly. No shade, but I was waiting only 2 minutes. One guy spotted me from the car park and waved to me. I grabbed my bags and went to his car. It turned out he was going to Chiayi as well. He gave me a lift, and dropped me in the centre at the spot when I was going to.

This is a great visible spot because the cars head to the highway already going north, and if you change your mind and choose to take public transportation instead, the bus stop is just a few meters away.―Anonymous

I found the spot on hitchhiking but no one marks here! the triangle spot going to highway 1 is the only way to the north. It is the best spot to go north―T

Great spot, ask the cars, they will all be going down the mountain. The only problem you might encounter is the fact that the cars will be very packed going down

It was night so not a good visibility where I stood. There were constructions happening so that didn’t help safety wise, and cars can go quite fast even if there is a red light. Thankfully got picked up relatively quickly

Don’t bother taking the expensive buses or train to Alishan, this road is perfectly hitchhikeable! I barely waited and a guy picked me up and brought me quite high on the road. Then I also quickly got picked up by a family who let me join their family hike before bringing me to the recreational parc of Alishan

Very good spot, this is the road leading to the highway so most people will go through this spot. We were standing at the wrong road (there’s many on the map as you can see), but some nice Taiwanese went up to us and corrected us
