Off
the airplane, and onto a bike. There's
no better way to see east
Taiwan than from the saddle of a bicycle,
and you don't even need to bring your own. Several businesses in
Taitung and Hualien countries rent out good bicycles, and there's a
growing number of dedicated cycle trails to explore.
In
the east, two-wheeled travelers can
immerse themselves in a bucolic landscape of rice
paddies, aboriginal
villages and Hakka towns. Unlike visitors dependent on buses and
trains, cyclists
can stop whenever something takes their fancy, be it a
folk shrine, a
picturesque courtyard house, or
a vendor selling
custard apples or
some of the other delicious
fruits Taitung is
famous for...
This article appears in the March-April issue of Unity; the photo shows a couple of cyclists I ran into at Taitung's railway station.
