    I just came back from Taiwan 2 weeks ago, I cycled for 6 weeks around the island and spend one month in one of the surf towns you cycled trough. Taiwan is indeed a great place for cycling, perfect roads and amazing views in the mountains and on the coast. Also super friendly locals who often wave at you and support you, especially on the climbs. Thank you for the video!, really nice to see familiar places! And yes I also highly recommend Taiwan for cycling! O and the tea eggs are strange, needed to eat them for the proteins, but after 2 weeks I couldn,t eat them anymore.

    Great video, Sherry. More people should know about this awesome country, a hidden gem in Asia. I lived there in the past for two years and afterwards went back many times for vacation. It just has a special place in my heart. TW number one!

    As a Taiwanese and a cycling enthusiast, I have circumnavigated the island three times. The first time was when I graduated from high school. Now, at 31 years old, I am considering embarking on another journey with a backpack to rediscover the dreams of my youth while I have the time. I also hope that your travels in Taiwan are smooth and enjoyable. Best wishes to you!

    Indeed, Taiwan is a great place for cycling. 70% of the island is mountains, with good quality of highways. You may challenge to climb to Wuling,the highway highest point of Taiwan,with an elevation of 3,275M(10,746ft). The expenses for tourism is reasonable. Locals are friendly. Taiwan is also known for safety.

  • @user-ko1xd7mn6f
    @user-ko1xd7mn6f Před 3 měsíci +40

    Taiwan is great for cycling, and as a Korean, I can't help but praise Taiwan. Korea's bicycle paths are among the best in the world, but Taiwan's scenery looks better. Always pay attention to safety and health, and I hope you always have a pleasant ride. 번역기이므로 문법이 이상하더라도 이해해 주시기 바랍니다. This is a translator, so please understand even if the grammar is strange.

    I don't know how you made this cycling trip looks a trip to the park. I am familiar with the whole route and it is hard, I mean really hard on one's body physically. Especially when each day's scheduled so tight as you guys did. Obviously, your trip is well planned and executed (and lucky with great weather). We travel from Texas to Taiwan, rent a car and tour the island for one month every year. The best part of Taiwan is definitely the mountains and the east side of the island. Hats up to you guys and cheers from Dallas, TX.

    Nice video. We (8 riders from Singaporer) are going to Taiwand end of march (22.3.) to do our 1200km RTI (round the island) cycling tour. We will go ACW (anti clock wise), first west coast to the south and then east to the north. Also visitng the most north and south lighthouses. During our trip we have planned to avoid the cities as much as possible. Unfortunately I cannot upload a pic from our track here.....but after our tour - will see

    Just back from Southern Taiwan for CNY with my wife's family. Took my bike and was out riding every morning in the low mountains around the city, the best roads, views and people I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy, and that is saying nothing about the food and drinks to keep you fueled.
    So hard to come back to daily life after the holiday, already planning the next trip back in a couple months 😁
    It's wonderful to see you enjoying this beautiful place that I am lucky enough to call my second home. Hope you will have the chance to come back again

    I live in Taiwan and the cycling is an undiscovered gem! Kudos to those that put together your route! They totally nailed it. You picked the perfect season and lucked out with the lack of rain. Great video!

  • @bengt_axle

    5:17 FYI, regarding the Swastika: It is not uncommon to see this in Asia, and it does not represent Nazi Germany. The Swastika originated in India and the word in the original Sanskrit language refers to health, prosperity and good luck. It was later used by Europeans, including Carl Jacobsen, the philanthropist and founder of Carlsberg Brewery in Denmark, who put it on his first brew kettle in reference to the original meaning. Later, it was appropriated by the Nazi Party, and that is how most people in the West came to recognize it in the post-war period. In Asia, Swastikas often appear in horizontal rows or around the periphery of many old buildings and temples, similar to how it is shown here.
    This film definitely got me wanting to go Taiwan to cycle the route you did! Thank you very much for the video.

      補充一下,看這個圖外圍比較像原住民風格 ,所以也可能是賽夏族的 雷女紋 ,參考wiki: zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/娃恩 加上這位車友的騎乘路線,個人覺得經過 賽夏族部落附近的可能性蠻高的。加上佛教的萬字符號通常是正,不會傾斜。

    The tea egg is put egg in the sauce, which mix with tea (most black tea), soy sauce, and many kind of spices, then boil the egg with slow warm heat until the egg is delicatessen.

    That is not a symbol of the Nazi swastika. If you look closely at the symbol is different, it goes the opposite direction/ way. That symbolize (Buddhist) continuation of life (reincarnation)
