5.Due to the persisting low pressure circumfluence above Taiwan's mountain areas from Typhoon Gaemi, areas with steep slopes are particularly prone to landslides and collapse immediately after a natural disaster (e.g. earthquake, typhoon). Please pay special attention to your surrounding conditions (e.g. rockfall, felling wood, loose or collapsed ground, flood-prone areas) and err on the side of caution. 

6.For information on the post-disaster repair progress and road traffic control and opening hours of the main roads in our park (Taiwan Provincial Highway 8, Taiwan Provincial Highway 14A, and Taiwan Provincial Highway 7A), please visit the Directorate General of Highways, Ministry of Transportation's "Smart Provincial Highways Real-time Information Service Network" ([Link]) or download the "Happy Highway APP" to obtain relevant information.
