0528
It is still dark, but the large marble balls are powered by water, as usual.
0540
太魯閣大橋、新城
I will run toward Taroko bridge, Xincheng
(新城).
0706
I ran about 20 kilometers.
The length of the Taroko bridge is 1208m.
0710
After I cross the Taroko Bridge, I will pass through the town of Chongde(崇徳).
0718
Qingshui Duanya (清水断崖)
There is something written on the electronic bulletin board on the road.
It is written.
「8至18時監點放行10分」

I understand that traffic regulation will begin.
However, I do not know the details.
I can not understand the meaning of 10 minutes.
Perhaps it means that I can pass only 10 minutes.

0728
There are nine tunnels from here.
@Chongde tunnel
(崇徳隧道) 313 m
0730
The road is made by scraping a cliff.
In the case of such a cliff, it seems that the road is to make if we usually get over the mountain in the back of the land.
But It seems that it was impossible to make a road in the outback because the mountain rises sharply as getting away from the sea.
So, the road was made by digging the coastline cliffs.
0731
A匯徳隧道 1460m
From the outside, the tunnel is dark and seems to be very narrow, but it is not so.
0733
The inside of the tunnel is wide.
Even if a large truck comes in here, it is not so scary.
Every tunnel is roughly like this.
0739
It is written..「8至18時監點放行10分」
I do not understand the meaning of details.
0740
B錦文隧道 1100m
0743
Oishimizui tunnel starts from the dong.
C
大清水隋道 561m
0747
A large car passed a tremendous speed and went.
Why are these cars rushing so fast?
0750
The reason is that everybody want to go through this cliff till 8 o'clock when traffic regulation starts.

D
和清隧道 395m
0753
I passed half of the nine tunnels.
There is still half.
Time is only 7 minutes remaining. I can not pass through 4 tunnels in 7 minutes.


I look back through
和清隧道.
"It's amazing cliff"
0754
The 6th tunnel, 6 more minutes.

E
仁清隋道 209m
0803
The seventh tunnel.

At last it's past 8 o'clock.
It is a time when traffic closure can occur anywhere.
I think that construction workers will not cherish the time so much they start working at just 8 o'clock.

F
和仁隧道 1400m
0809
There are two more tunnels.

G
和平隧道 870m
0831
大濁水橋(和平渓)
After this, there are three climbing hills.
Those three uphill sides are hard.
0833
H澳花隧道 484m
The tunnel of Shimizu cliff is over with this.
I'm glad I did not encounter road closure.
0855
At last I came across the closure of the road.
It is already heavily congested.
0856
Road was closing・・・.I could not move forward because several buses were stopping near the right end.
0857
Still I managed to get here by passing the left side somehow.
0859
In this way, the technician is doing cement cover construction on the road wall.
0909
The road continues to a very high place.Moreover, when you look closely, traffic jams are growing more than before.I have to go up over there after a traffic jam.
0942
I can see the sand beach far before this cliff.
I must go down to the sea level at that sandy beach once.
And I have to go up the way of the cliff again.

Anyway,I concentrate on going up the slope in front of my eyes..
0946
The person who got the cart is walking.
1039
It says here at 8:30.
1046
Beginning of the second uphill

There are many heavy-duty trucks that spew diesel exhaust gas.
1049
I have to go up to the middle of that mountain in the distance.
In the picture, it is not reflected well, but on the sloping side of the other, the large buses have continued far long.
1100
And a lot of asphalt trucks will overtake me one after another.
1120
I新奧隧道 1160m

Even if I pass through this tunnel, the town of Suao is still far away.
In navigation, it is still far ahead.
1139
That's right, the road still goes on.
1206
The bus passed me, leaving exhaust gas as souvenir ・ ・ ・.
1222
A person on a journey will draw a cart.
1231
A construction vehicle that does not take measures against exhaust gases puts out a lot of smoke and overtakes me.
Every day when I get to the inn, the mask is black, but today it is already black.
So I am doing a cloth mask wet with water under a simple mask.


This vehicle is an asphalt carrying vehicle.The asphalt seems to be carrying by piston from the town of Suao蘇澳 to each site.The number of trucks is large.There are hundreds of them.
1253
Sometimes, the traffic of a car is gone and it gets quiet.
1255
You can see Kameyama Island.
1350
I arrived in the town of Suao.
1403
I am planning to stay at a hotel here today.
