[Did this back in 2024]Don’t trust the few dots in Taiwan, this country is super hitchhikeable!
My friend and I went on our separate ways, despite the fact that this was a turn, a car quickly stopped for me

We stood there longer than what I expected, considering the great visibility, enough place for cars to stop, next to a 7/11. Me and my friend eventually got picked up by this car that was already way too full

Hitchhiked with a friend, around 8:30-9 am on a workday. In Taiwan you can stand on the side of pretty much any road and you’ll guaranteed be picked up

Got dropped off here, excellent spot to continue hitchhiking to the north. There’s a lot of space and cars see you from far away. I hitchhiked in the middle of a random day

Had to walk « quite a bit » from the hot air balloon festival, there’s a lot of cars and motorbikes leaving the place, so I just think I wasn’t the luckiest. Still found a ride to Taidong after a reasonable time (long time according to my standards of hitchhiking in Taiwan)

Was my go to spot to hitchhike north of Taidong. Against all odds this is a really great place to hitchhike (before or on the bridge itself). There’s quite a lot of cars too so waiting times are really short

Barely waited on this road. I was visible from far away and the cars had place to stop. Got a direct lift to Taidong (everyone going on this road are passing there anyway)

I was walking on that road and hitchhiking at the same time. Had to walk quite a bit (according to hitchhiking in Taiwan) before I got picked up. Received taro cake from a random shop that saw me so yummy yummy

This small island is super hitchhikeable. This was my go to spot to get to the other side of the island. Hitchhiking anywhere on the big road that goes around the island is also definitely gonna work, you just gotta wait for people to pass (small island but quite touristic, so it’s all about luck). My hitchhiking experience on this island was extremely good!

Good spot for going south, i got a ride to Taichung after 15 minutes. There is not really a lot of space for cars to pull over, but it's just before a traffic light so they will manage to stop for you :)rating: 4/5, wait: 15 min, ride: 157 km ↙

Hitchhiked there when it was dark and quite late but I still got picked up quite quickly and brought a bit more south on this road. From experience, if the Taiwanese people aren’t going to your exact spot they might not offer to take you further on the road, so make sure to assure that it’s gonna help you a lot
