Forest gorge road past Baling and Mingchi
The Northern Cross-Island Highway follows Highway 7 from Daxi over the mountains toward Yilan, passing the Baling suspension bridges, Mingchi and Qilan forest areas. The middle section is a quiet, winding road through deep river gorges and cedar forest. Mind the rockfall after rain, narrow bridge crossings and stray wildlife.
