National Highway No. 1 (Chinese: 中山高速公路; pinyin: Zhōngshān gāosù gōnglù) is the first freeway in Taiwan. It begins in Keelung City at the intersection of Ziao 2nd Road and Jhong 4th Road and ends in Kaohsiung City at the intersection of Jhongshan 4th Road and Yugang Road, giving it a total length of 372.8 km.
