Following the Hualien 0403 earthquake, the access roads like Su-Hua Highway and Central Cross-Island Highway have been difficult to traverse, and the recent incident of a Taiwan Rail Express train colliding with a landslide and derailing further shakes the confidence of the public in Hualien's tourism. Hualien County Mayor Xie Zhenwei choked up today asking Premier Su Tseng-chang, 'What options do Eastern residents have for transportation?' This incident has raised concerns about the future of the local industries amidst the challenges faced by Hualien's connectivity and infrastructure.
