Taiwan - World's Hidden Treasure [ Cycling around Taiwan]

For many people, Taiwan,also known as “Formosa”, is one of the most well-known countries in the world, since people mayhave ever heard of “Made in Taiwan”or used the product made in Taiwan.. Other than producing the products of best quality, Taiwan is also a place famous for its unique culture, local gourmet, and natural scenes. One of the best ways toTaiwan is via a bike tour around the island.

Taiwan Cyclist Federation and many students club is frequently organizing a cycle tour which will circle the island in 11-20 days. You will join a challenge team of college students to circle the island just with your feet on the paddles. You will visit major cities and small townships of Taiwan, visit major temples of local religions, experience famous night markets and enjoy local snacks and cuisine. The bike route will cross the island from the west to the east, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of east coast as well as the spectacular Taroko Gorge of the Taroko National Park.
