Taiwan Tourist Shuttle East Coast Line 8101A is a cruise bus travelling a total length of more than 130 kilometers one way and a travel time of nearly 9 hours. Starting from Taitung Bus Station, it passes through Taitung railway station to pick up tourists, and then runs along the East Coast Provincial Highway (Highway No.11), connecting important scenic spots on the East Coast, such as Little Yehliu, Jinzun, Amis Folk Center, Chenggong Fishing Port, Sanxiantai, Donghe Bridge, Dulan Sugar Factory and other sightseeing spots.
