Eastern Taiwan & Taroko National Park
If you're driving or cycling Hwy 9, consider stopping to eat one of the imaginative multidish meals at this outwardly inauspicious roadside diner 7km south from Yuli.
Highlights include matsusaka pork (thin strips of slow-cooked fatty pork layered on a salad combining dressed lettuce and fresh fruit), fried garlic kale with bacon, and the soup which, in season, is made with day lily shoots. It's very close to the Dongli cycling station where the former railway-track cycle path from Yuli ends.
