We leave the suburb after breakfast and cycle to Guangfu.
During the typhoon (presumably Typhoon Ragasa or Hato in September 2025, depending on the source), severe destruction and loss of life occurred in Guangfu Township, Hualien County, Taiwan.
Heavy rainfall from the typhoon caused a lake formed by

In the fridge of our rented house, we find regular bread, proper butter, and strawberry jam 🍓 - a dream.
At 8:30 a.m. we're on our bikes.
Almost 60 km and over 1,000 meters of elevation gain await us.
It turns out that the climbs are moderate and easily manageable on our bikes.
The climbs begin shortly

Today we're taking our time for the 40 km or so that lie ahead. Today we're reaching the southernmost tip of Taiwan.
We continue south along the western coast until we reach the point where the Pacific Ocean meets the South China Sea 🌊.
After waiting patiently, we arrive at the large rock for a photo

We leave Tinan after a really good breakfast. We left our bikes on the 6th floor.
On the way, we visit one of the modern express train stations. It looks like an airport. This, dear Deutsche Bahn, is what a train station looks like in the 21st century.
In the afternoon, we reach the vast grounds of the

Today we're starting early. Firstly, because we have almost 80 km ahead of us, and also because the forecast is for 36°C.
The route heads south through villages and towns. The planned route leaves the beaten track and takes us through cultivated areas and villages that no tourist would ever venture into

Today we're heading for Chiayi.
The ride once again takes us along Bike Route No. 1 and isn't very exciting.
It's mostly along the highway on the wide bike and scooter lane.
We pass through two major cities before reaching Chiayi.
From here, we'll head up to Alisan National Park tomorrow, at over 2,000 meters

Today, it's time to say goodbye to the Sun 🌞 Moon 🌛 Lake.
The path winds between mountain slopes and the lake until we reach the long descent that takes us back to the valley.
As the altitude drops, the temperatures rise.
I chose the route on the other side of the river valley for the trip to the provincial

After a truly Taiwanese breakfast, we set off for Sun 🌞 Moon 🌛 Lake.
The route today is short, and the climbs are quite steep.
As it turns out later, they are easily manageable.
We ride along the river valley and after about 10 km, turn off into the mountains.
We soon reach the lake, which we will circumnavigate

The fourth stage of our tour starts in the North District of Taichung. We cycle an incredible 13 km through the neighborhoods. The next town begins immediately after.
We enter Nantou County. Rice fields give way to houses for a short while before we reach Caotun.
It's market time—we're ready to join the

Our hostel in Schifen was situated on a steep hillside.
It even had a small adventure park.
Afterwards, we visited the local waterfalls. Weekend tourism had begun, and the town was quickly filling up with people.
We cycled swiftly downhill again and reached the sea 🌊 in the port city of Keelung. It boasts
