[英文]Highway cut into the side of sheer cliff face of Taiwan$s east coast. First built in Qing period as part of @open the mountains, tame the savages@ campaign in the 1870s, the Suao-Hualian Highway fell into disuse and disrepair by the 1890s. The entire length of the highway was restored in under orders from Governor General Sakuma in 1916, following Japan$s defeat of the Taroko Gorge tribes. This work was completed in 1925; a second widening period was competed in 1931 (Matsumoto 1996, p. 153; Nihon chiri taikei 1930 p. 184-85).
