But Kuanshan, with a population of about 10,000 residents and located forty-two kilometers north of Taitung City, has distinguished itself from its neighbors with a bike trail that opened five years ago. "Kuanshan used to be an obscure place, but now a lot of tourists are coming here to relax and cycle," says Peter Ai, vice president of a local resort that opened last year.

  Kuanshan Township of Taitung County is surrounded by Chishang, Luye, Haiduan, and Yianping Townships, with a total population of 36,000. Situated at the entrance of the Southern Cross-Island Provincial Highway, the area is haunted with automobile accidents, and with hospitals so far away north and south, local residents tend to sit on their illnesses until critical. Hence the locals had always hoped for a hospital nearby that could deal with life-threatening emergencies while attending to the health of the communities.
  Tzu Chi Foundation completed the hospital in Kuanshan Township in less than a year, but its former self, “Boai Hospital”, was faced with constant challenges and predicaments. […] Five years went by and inauguration remained nowhere in sight, Hsu Jui-Kui, the mayor of Kuanshan at the time, seek help from the Foundation, pleading to Master Cheng Yen to take over the hospital, bringing the countless preventable tragedies that haunted the locals for decades to an end. […]
  A decade gone by, Kuanshan Tzu Chi Hospital has now 62 beds, 7 full-time attending physicians, and a total of 82 staff in 2010, and then 109 staff in 2016, including nurses, medical technicians, and administrative staff.
