Hsuehshan tunnel, Taiwan
From series “The Greatest Tunnels in the World”
The famous Hsuehshan tunnel or Snow Mountain is cut through the mountain range in Taiwan. The tunnel was opened to the public in 2006. It connects the city of Taipei and the popular tourist area - the Yilan valley. Yilan valley is the focus of the most interesting natural and historical sights that are visited by thousands of tourists every day.
Outstanding engineers and builders have managed to create a unique underground complex, which amazes both with its size and the level of equipment. Road surface of a perfect quality, an elaborate lighting system and road signs make the journey inside the tunnel safe and pleasant. The speed limit inside is 70 km/h. Drivers pay great attention to the observance of the speed mode since the fine is about 6000 US dollars. Cameras are installed through the length of the tunnel and police officers are always on duty, so driving unnoticed is simply impossible.
