One male 40+, no sign, one small and one big backpacks, a very cloudy day (about to rain). On my way from Taitung to Taipei.I was dropped less than 1 km south from here. I thought I'd have to walk much more, but very quickly I found this spot. On the map it looks very urban. But in reality it's not that much.
There is loads of space to stop. Good visibility. Mid busy traffic. Cars go slowly.
After 4 minutes I got a ride all the way to Taipei. The driver was kind enough to drop me in the center, even though he was going to bypass the city.

One male 40+, no sign, one small and one big backpacks, a very cloudy day (about to rain). On my way from Taitung to Taipei.I was dropped less than 1 km from here in the town. I've found this really good spot after a short walk. I really don't understand why I was waiting here 40 minutes (very long like for Taiwan). A bit on a hill, but still good visibility, cars go slowly. Maybe not loads of them but still 2-3 every minute. Not the best weather, but it didn't rain. And extra lane with loads of room to stop. This place was a puzzle for me.
Finally, after 40 minutes two (!) cars stopped at the same time. The first one took me to Hualien. The driver was kind enough to take me to the north of the city, so I didn't have to walk much to find a new spot.

[Did this back in 2024]Don’t trust the few dots in Taiwan, this country is super hitchhikeable!
Got dropped off at the southern entrance of the city on this road and tried hitchhiking while walking until this spot, where I got picked up and brought to Yilan

My friend and I went on our separate ways, despite the fact that this was a turn, a car quickly stopped for me

Easy hitch hike. As usual with my laminated paper sign + marker. Shared famous spanish 70s songs with an old man, he enjoyed it.―EduNauta
