CURVES 27 – Taiwan
3,000 kilometers. Twice around Taiwan. Three weeks of soulful driving. From north to south, from west to east, everything here changes by the minute: massive mountain ranges, deep gorges, roads carved into stone, breathtaking coastal routes, and endless jungle. The passes climb to over 3,400 meters. Nature that isn't decorative — it dominates. Everything feels close, heavy, real — as if the landscape never decided to accommodate visitors. Leaves here are the size of people, warning signs caution against killer bees and snakes, and somewhere in between there's that 120-dB cicada alarm that makes even an RS or an electric vehicle briefly believe that, acoustically, anything goes here. Add to that a constant stream of unfamiliar sounds — as if nature were permanently announcing something you can't quite understand.
