During our month or so spent in Taiwan we pedaled 1250 kms, got lost, viewed sights of uncomparable beauty, made a load of new friends (we hope you take us up on our offer to visit us in the US), learned a lot of history not taught in school, cried (out of happiness),laughed, and simply enjoyed ourselves. We can not stres enough how strongly we believe everyone with the ability must visit Taiwan at least once in their lives.
Reasons to visit:
- the food and huang cha (cold tea with sugar)
- the people
- great roads for touring whether you are looking for breathtaking views, picturesque landscapes, culture rich cities or hellacious climbs
- the cost is very manageable, though accomodation can be slightly more pricey when you get into the more touristy locations
-the convenience of everything- water, wifi, bike pumps, food, help if you need it
Reasons to NOT visit:
-none
Seriously folks, get your tickets to Taiwan and pack up your bike NOW!
