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.

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

[Did this back in 2024]Don’t trust the few dots in Taiwan, this country is super hitchhikeable!
Great spot, barely waited. Had a sign with written « south on it ». You gotta talk with people to see where you wanna be dropped, I had to go to the absolute south of the island so some logistics as to where to be dropped was required

Was trying to get to a super precise place and got picked up rather quickly (that’s an average experience hitchhiking in Taiwan)

I don’t know if it was just a bad luck day but it took me forever (according to Taiwanese’s hitchhiking time) to finally get on the highway 1. It was a couple who passed me 20 minutes prior, felt bad so they decided to turn back and bring me to the first gas station on the highway

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

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
