The winding coastline, gushing waves, such as green hills, flowing clouds, undulating wheat fields, tall windmills, endless roads...you can experience the freshness and freedom of Taiwan by riding all the way.
If you have good physical strength, you can try cycling around the island. A circle around the island is about 1,200 kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of a Jiangsu province. The local bicycle culture is very developed. There are dedicated bicycle lanes all over the island, with good road conditions, good scenery, and many cycling service stations.
Many local private bicycle shops not only provide car rental services, but also take a shower and surf the Internet. It can be said that if you come to Taiwan without experiencing cycling, you will come here for nothing!

It is located between Fulong Station and Shicheng Station in Yilan County. It is very famous in Taiwan. The volcanic cave mentioned in the song "Throwing Copper" is here. Built during the Japanese occupation, it is now a popular cycling spot.
It is better to say that the feelings are more beautiful than the beautiful scenery. Riding from Fulong Station to Old Caoling, passing through the tunnel is a strong retro feeling. When you come out, you see another sea. Sitting on the steps beside the track and enjoying the sun, I feel that time is wasted.
The most surprising part of the road is Daxi Primary School.
