I know a lot of you guys have been away over CNY. Do you care for sharing any great pictures of interesting places? I’d like to get an idea where to go next… :wink:

Have a good long weekend

:astonished:

you took the LiShan to WuShi “shortcut” (also could be described as “longcut” or “deathcut”) in winter… on scooters!..

:laughing: :bravo: respect…

:lol: :bravo: respect…[/quote]Never done that route. On the Sunriver map it doesn’t have a number; just a thin and very wiggly yellow line.

Is it normally open to the public? At the Wushe end there’s a round red “no entry” sign, at least on the map.

I want to do a loop Taichung – Lishan – Ilan – North Cross-Island Highway some time. Using that shortcut would be interesting. But it sounds as if it may not really save time. What do you think?

yes I’d call it a deathcut. We really didn’t know where we were, nor would we ever be able to find it again. Too bad, it was a crazy road, and might be fun in the summer. We couldn’t speak Chinese at the time so we just drove and hoped for the best. That was the coldest I’ve ever been in my life and still shiver thinking about it (and I’m from Canada!)

I think at the Wushe end, the hills are so steep that I’m not sure how well a scooter could make it up. It seemed like a downhill only thing :slight_smile: I remember thinking- if this is the wrong way, there’s no way I’m gonna make it back up that hill!
