One male 40+, no sign, one small and one big backpacks, a very sunny day. On my way from Taitung to Kaohsiung.It's my second time using that spot. (Funny enough, on my both trips between those two cities, the first rides dropped at exactly the same spot :D ). Please read the description of the spot in the previous review. I just add that there is no shade.
This time I waited only 6 minutes. And the ride was straight to Kaohsiung.

I just add that there is no shade. But luckily after 4 minutes I got a ride. What's funny, to exactly the same spot as the first time :)

One male 40+, no sign, one small and one big backpacks, a very sunny day. On my way from Kaohsiung to Taitung.I got dropped at this junction, coz my driver was going left and I needed to go right, straight to Taitung. I walked less than 50 meters and started hitchhiking. The place has a very good visibility, cars starting from the traffic lights, so go slowly. There is also enough place to stop. The only bad thing is lack of shade and it was a very hot day. Luckly I got a ride after 3 minutes. The driver was kind enough to take me to the address I was going to in Taitung.

One male 40+, no sign, one small and one big backpacks, a very sunny day. On my way from Kaohsiung to Taitung (east coast).A very good spot. Loads of space to stop. After the traffic lights and a petrol station. Very good visibility. Cars are starting from the lights, so they go slowly. And very importantly there is a little shade. I was hitchhiking around 13:00, and you could fry eggs on the tarmac. So, it's very useful.
After 7 minutes I got a ride from a lady who took me almost all the way to Taitung.

One male 40+, no sign, one small and one big backpacks, cloudy day. On my way from Taitung to Kaohsiung.My previous ride dropped me here. The place is very good. Loads of space to stop (some sort of place where lorries were parked), good visibility, not too busy traffic. After 5 minutes I got picked up by a family going to Kaohsiung (my destination). But they were stopping in Pingdong for longer time. So after 80 kms I got off in a nice place and after a few minutes I got a ride directly Kaohsiung.

One male 40+, no sign, one small and one big backpacks, cloudy day. On my way from Taitung to Kaohsiung.So so place, coz there was no much space to stop. But I got tired of walking from the city centre, looking for a good spot, so I decided to stop and try this place.
Mid busy traffic, very small side road to stop (enough for a half of a car).
After 15 minutes one guy stopped and offered a short ride to the next town. He was kind enough to drop me at the end of it, in a very good spot. So, I didn't have to waste time looking for a new spot.

[Did this back in 2024]Don’t trust the few dots in Taiwan, this country is super hitchhikeable!
Barely waited on this road. I was visible from far away and the cars had place to stop. Got a direct lift to Taidong (everyone going on this road are passing there anyway)

Asked all the cars that stopped at this convenience store and stood with my sign (east side) on the side of the road for a bit. My previous driver helped me ask around as he was stressed for me
