Travel Taiwan

Let's go cycling! In Taiwan the new and popular recreation is cycling; during weekend you can see the young or old couples, men or women, children or adults, whoever are riding bikes on the streets. It's a good movement gets people exercise in this overweight society.

In Taichung County you can find a bikeway with the ideal scenes and designed paths and here while you enjoy the delight of the cycling you can discover the cultural heritage and local custom of Taiwan as well.

Let's go!

Take a break and appreciate the beautiful view!

Rejoin my trip. In fact, there are 8 kilometres left to the end!

The path I chose was DONGFONG which is the longest path(a 36 kilometres round trip) of these bikeways in this area. If you're afraid of riding so long then you can choose other paths. It's up to you!

I broke many times to take photos, admire the pretty scenery and enjoy the sunshine! Moreover, there are many plum blossoms planted along the way.

By the way, if you love riding you can also visit Houli horse farm.

Chinese New Year is a big festival in Taiwan and most people have a family reunion dinner on new year's eve. But for me, I always look forward to the second day of the new year not the new year's eve. The big, real, warm and tasty family reunion meal on the second day of the new year with over 20 relatives and the most importatnt key, my mom cooks! My mom has an incredible talent at cooking Chinese dishes and pastries. This time, as usaul, she fed over 20 people with these wonderful dishes and cooked in 3 and half hours!

Yum!

5 jars of wine is a hill in Taoyuon County and it's a good place for hiking. I didn't konw why this place called 5 jars of wine until I saw many sets of 5 jars of wine putting aside on the trail and then I began wondering "Is there any wine in those jars?"

The most excited moment in our hiking was going down the prependicular stairs. My friends and I were trembling down...

I finally sighed with relief when I stepped on the ground!

There are some more photos to share.
