You leave Taipei as the city thins and the highway tilts toward the East Coast; within an hour the mountains peel back and the sea reappears, wide and open. The tour moves at a steady, deliberate pace—first to Suao Port where fishing boats rock against a concrete quay and the smell of salt and grilled fish hangs in the air. Dong'ao Bay follows, a two-kilometer arc of sand and reef where the water pushes and tugs at the shore, and along the route forested headlands frame blue expanses.
