雪山隧道

If you want to go to Yilan from Taipei City, it used to take over 2-hours through winding mountain roads to get there. With the Snow Mountain Tunnel, the 5th longest tunnel in the world, you can now get there in 40-minutes.

This tunnel took over 13-years to build and broke a German made drill that was "unbreakable" in the process. Technically it's 3 tunnels, 2 tunnels for cars going in opposite directions and a escape tunnel for emergencies.

It's Police monitored from start to finish using CC TV. Drive to fast, too slow, stop or change lanes and you will get a ticket in the mail. If you want to visit the award winning Kavalan Distillery, you'll be glad Snow Mountain Tunnel was built.
