Road distances
We're taking a leisurely ride from Dawu (大武 ) via Shouka (壽卡) down the Hengchun Peninsula tomorrow and then rolling around the Kenting area on Tuesday, so I wanted to find a table of distances between different places in Taiwan to make out the kilometer count.
And I found what I was looking for at the quaintly named Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau. At this location they have a list of every provincial (yes, they still call them that in official lingo, and I don't think it'll change in the next four years at least) and county road in Taiwan, with distances down to the meter between different locations along the roads.
I now know that it is 20km from Dawu to Shouka, 38km from Shouka to Checheng (車城) and 32km from Checheng to Kenting (墾丁), ie 90km all in all. Sorry, the site is all in Chinese, but for those who read Chinese, this is a great resource. Here is post on a blog in Chinese that I found yesterday by someone who did the exact same trip. Lots and lots of pics for those who don't read Chinese.
