Overview
This classic route takes us from the spectacular Taroko Gorge down the rugged east coast and then south across the mountains to Kenting in the tropics. Enroute, we'll cross the picturesque coastal mountain range into the lush East Rift Valley and then head back to the coast where we continue south, taking in hot springs, mountain villages, and big sea vistas.
At day's end the island offers yet more surprises: whether marveling at the sheer power of the Pacific, soaking away the stresses of life in one of the numerous hot springs on this route, or just slurping down a hearty bowl of delicious noodles, Taiwan will assault your senses and leave you hungry for more!
We ride on well-made roads some of which have designated cycle lanes. The terrain varies from gently undulating along parts of the East Coast to the steep ascent and descent over the coastal mountain range. Traffic is generally light although there will be stretches on busier roads. There is always a support vehicle on hand to give you a lift if you need a break from the riding.
