3580 meters above sea level. This is probably the highest piece of asphalt you can travel in Taiwan. Despite the lack of oxygen, my scooter takes it with a steady 60 kmh from Taroko to Qingjing. After passing the foggy cloud level (which stretches from 2000m to 3000m altitude) the views are mind-blowing. Not many people make it up to this point because the weather forecast is rather bad. Additionally, last night's thunderstorm chucked rocks and debris on the road, requiring more concentration. As the road winds up the mountain range, dark tunnels and narrow curves need to be taken.
