Taiwan End to End

Fuguei to Eluanbi 370 miles

In January 2017 I cycled the Taiwan End to End with my chum Tim, from Fuguei at the northern tip to Eluanbi at the southern end.

The End to End route was roughly 370 miles and took nine days of cycling. We stayed inexpensively in guesthouses and hostels.

We cycled about 550 miles in total, including city-based day-trips, while in Taiwan.

Cycling round Taiwan is, literally, a Route 1 affair

Our bikes were hired from Giant. We picked up in one of their stores in Taipei, and returned them to a branch in Kaohsiung.

Completing the ride at Eluanbi. What better way to celebrate than with an ice-cream? With a bowl of hot noodles, obviously. It was cold and wet.
