=== West towards [[Taoyuan]], Southwest toward [[Hsinchu]], [[Taichung]], [[Tainan]], and [[Kaohsiung]] ===
Highway 1 runs along practically the entire length of Taiwan's west coast, which includes all the island's other major cities. Highway 3 follows a slightly different route down the western side of Taiwan, also passing all the major cities.
One place to catch a ride westward on highway one is near Deyin Elementary School (德音國小, déyīn gúoxiǎo) in Wugu/Taishan. Many buses stop at this school, the most convenient from the city center perhaps being the 637, which you can catch at Chéngdū Road (成都路) near the Ximen MRT station (西門站, xīměnzhàn), or the 638 which runs from the Nanjing East MRT station (南京東路站, nánjīngdōnglùzhàn) and past Minqian West Road MRT station (民權西路站, mínquánxīlùzhàn).
[[User:timmy_tofu|Timmy Tofu]] was picked up from this spot in a matter of seconds, by the very first vehicle that passed.
[[User:Treefrog| Treefrog]] tried the Sanchong Interchange closer to downtown, but gave up after about half an hour (no great place to wait or for cars to pull over). He had better luck at the Tucheng Interchange (Highway 3) near Yongning Metro station. There's a great waiting place here next to a turn lane leading onto the highway, and he was picked up in about 15 minutes by a couple going to Taoyuan.
