Route description

The highway begins at the intersection of Provincial Highway 1 in Changhua City. The route continues eastbound towards the rural township of Fenyuan and enters Nantou County. After passing through the junctions of Freeway 3 and Provincial Highway 63, the highway enters downtown Caotun and becomes Zhongtan Highway. The stretch of highway between Caotun and Puli runs parallel to Freeway 6. In Puli the highway has a brief concurrency with Provincial Highway 21 before the latter turns southbound. Right before leaving Puli, the highway turns from a 4-lane to a 2-lane road. The route continues towards the mountainous aboriginal township of Ren'ai. In Ren'ai the highway passes through Wushe and Lushan Hot Spring. After passing through Lushan, the highway turns into a narrow 1-lane road before ending at Tunyuan (Tnpara), the western entrance of Nenggao Cross-ridge Historic Trail (能高越嶺古道), a historic route connecting between Nantou and Hualien.

The stretch between Lushan and Tunyuan, as well as the Nenggao Cross-ridge Historic Trail, require special permits to access. A planned extension of the highway to Xiulin, Hualien was unfinished due to environmental and economic concerns. In 2009, the extension plan was formally abandoned.[2]

gollark: I might try the quantization-aware training thing and see if that works.
gollark: A shame.
gollark: Did anyone try quantizing the GPT-Neo models to int8? Just using the pytorch dynamic quantization thing (on the 125M one, due to RAM limitations) seems to add enough noise that it just produces nonsense.
