An Amazing Road Trip

Located at the juncture of Tainan City’s eastern plain and the mountainous area, Siraya National Scenic Area stretches to part of the mountainous area of southeastern Chiayi County and across “Chiayi” and “Tainan”.

There are two options:

Drive to the attractions of the Area via National Freeway No. 3, followed by going through Connecting Road Line Nos. 172 and 171, Expressway No. 84, Line A of Road No. 178 and Provincial Highway No. 20.

Choose Provincial Highway No. 3 which runs through the entire Siraya Scenic Area (mostly the mountainous roads) to visit the attractions by either going south from Chiayi’s Zhongpu or proceeding northward from Kaohsiung’s Neimen.

Note 1:
When driving on Provincial Highway No. 3, please be sure to comply with the speed limit. Beware that there are many speed cameras and plenty of cyclists on the road, so please pay more attention to safety!

Note 2:
Provincial Highway No. 3 mostly has mountainous roads. Some areas are prone to collapse or rockfalls in torrential rains during the rainy season, so please watch for the road conditions or take an alternative route if required.

You may call the Fifth Maintenance Office of Directorate General of Freeway at 05-2782861 to inquire about the road disruption status.
