The rugged landscape and isolation have meant that the east coast has mostly escaped the industrialization and urbanization of other parts of the island.The area is largely unspoiled and offers visitors the chance to see an astonishing array of geological wonders , an abundance of flora and fauna indigenous to Taiwan , and fascinating aborigine culture . Access to this rugged coast is limited to an 18 km foot trail or boat , however north Pacific swells inhibit this option throughout the winter .
