Short trip to YULI in Hualien County (花蓮玉里短暫之旅)
After having fun at Ruisui (see previous video) we went further south to visit a farm where you can learn how to make scones and wheat beer, had lunch at the Yuli Noodles restaurant, and then went bicycling on the Yufu Bikeway. We saw a LOT of rapeseed flower fields. :)

Yuli
From Ruisui it’s a short drive south on Provincial Highway 9 or County Road 193 to Yuli Township. The latter is favored by seasoned cyclists doing round-the-island or just East Rift Valley rides who prefer to take a more scenic and quieter road. It also offers more shade, thanks to the many roadside trees. In addition, the road has numerous vantage points from which you can take in the marvelous scenery of bright green and yellow fields and the majestic views of the central mountains on the opposite side of the valley.
Shortly before reaching the Yuli Bridge, which traverses the Xiuguluan River and connects to Highway 9 and central Yuli, you come to the Dongfeng Leisure Agricultural Area, a multipurpose farm where visitors can try their hand at such fun as making scones and brewing wheat beer using ingredients grown on the farm’s fields. Creating the small-sized scones, made with eggs, butter, and flour from the area, takes about an hour under the staff’s expert tutelage, and making the beer, a crisp, pleasing wheat ale, takes around three.
The farm was started as a rice operation 20 years ago, with pomelos also grown, but today the focus is mostly on wheat, four varieties of rice, two different kinds of beans, and a small fertilizer factory catering to local farmers looking to further enrich the already fertile soil. The factory and the fields can be toured; the wheat fields are a rare sight in subtropical Taiwan.
The East Rift Valley is well known for its fantastic cycling paths, one of the most popular being the Yufu Bikeway. Close to Yuli Railway Station are a number of bike-rental operations which rent bicycles for NT$100/4hrs, and e-bikes for NT$300 for the same amount of time. The roughly 10-kilometer stretch of paved pathway runs from Yuli Railway Station to the old railway station at the village of Dongli, following an abandoned railway line, winding among rice paddies, fields, and irrigation ponds.
About two kilometers into the ride the bikeway crosses the Xiuguluan River and the fault line dividing the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates, traversing a railway bridge that had to be retired because of the slowly shifting land below, the work of primal tectonic forces churning many kilometers underground. Stop at the midpoint of the bridge and place your feet at a clearly marked spot that allows you to, approximately, stand with one foot on the first tectonic plate and the other on the second.
Riding along the bikeway is a great way to take in the land that is eastern Taiwan’s largest rice granary, much of the crop grown here bound for export to Japan. During the seasons of the year the views are markedly different, ranging from seas of golden rice ears to fields of bright-yellow rapeseed.
Along the pathway you will pass the platforms of two old railway stations, at Antong and Dongli, the latter marking the southern end of the bikeway. Adjacent to Dongli’s old platform, a very popular Instagram spot, is a small café where you can stop and relax, have a cup of coffee, and perhaps pick up a small locally-made souvenir before heading back to Yuli.
If you have worked up an appetite on your return to central Yuli, consider dining at the Yuli Noodles restaurant, a popular no-frills eatery serving generous portions of noodles, either dry or in soup, topped with slices of pork, celery, and bean sprouts.
Louise learns to ride a bike - Yuli Bikeway, Taiwan Vlog E35
Louise finally learnt to ride a bike at the age of 27. We went to Yuli and our airbnb gave us free bikes, so we took the day teaching Louise to ride it on Yuli Bikeway. Its a great cycle path which was nice and flat. Perfect for beginners.

Cycling Around Taiwan - Bikepacking Route One - Huan-Dao Bicycle Touring - 環島1號線
Join me on this 1000km bicycle tour around Taiwan on the Haun-Dao (環島). I took the counterclockwise route down the west coast, over the mountainous Shouka climb, and north through the East Rift Valley. Stops at the Mr. Brown scenic area and Taroko Gorge made for an unforgettable trip.
Bike Rental:
mathewbike.com
Mathew and May went out of their way to secure me a bike. Typically you need 2-4 weeks advance reservation. They found me one in about 7 days. Luckily I had no firm departure date. If you are picky about gear then consider bringing your own bike. All the rental bike companies in Taiwan use basic aluminum frames which are adequate for light loads; like a tent, sleeping bag, and clothes.
Season:
Based on the information I read on Paul & Anja's website (link below) I decided on late October and early November. I experienced only two days of rain, but sunburn became a problem. There were rainy forecasts for solid weeks on the east coast before leaving Taipei. This is how I decided on the counterclockwise route. The west coast forecast was dry as a bone. The best antidote for bad weather is more time and a flexible departure schedule.
Distances:
You will hear me say at the end “the tour totaled right near 1000km”. My distance counter got wet on the last leg of the trip and stopped working. I have a picture of it at 985km before it reset itself. That last leg was over 60km so the total was well over 1000km. However the counter started at 85km from cycling around Taipei at the beginning. A trip to Tamsui and Bitan were good warm-ups before the tour. Getting over jet lag is a concern depending where you are from. So, plan for 60-100 km per day over 9 cycling days and you will make the trip on schedule if you follow the downloadable guide below. There are several tangent paths off route one that you can take, including the southernmost point of the island, Kenting, and Taroko Gorge. Whatever you do, don’t skip Taroko.
Other notes:
If you think about deleting the entire west coast from your itinerary, I won’t blame you. Consider the eastern regions between Taipei, Taitung, and Kaohsiung. If you are into hiking, Taroko gorge and the surrounding areas offer several days of activities.
Most cyclist stay at hotels every night on this tour, so camping equipment is not totally necessary. In late October and early November there were always hotel vacancies. The hotel strategy also gets you close to all the exciting food options throughout the country. This is not to be missed! That said, I like to camp when the opportunity arises. The light equipment demands make Taiwan a dream for the road cyclist. Roads are smooth and maintained at a high level. An experienced rider could make the entire journey with a change of clothes and a credit card.

Cycling Taiwan - East Coast!! Part 2 (RAD Ep 24)- Manzhou - Jialeshui Beach - Gangzi - Dawu
Episode 24:
The East Coast of Taiwan continues to impress us and quite literally blow us away (har har). But seriously the head wind going north was insanity sauce. Still, gorgeous days and we did get an afternoon of reprieve in an awesome, tucked away surf spot called Jaileshui (definitely recommend stopping and staying there...even have a surf school!). If the wind had stayed calm we might've stayed there a week!
Best part of the vid? Puppies. Yes....PUPPIES! We were so tempted to tuck them in our panniers/handlebar bags and ride away. True story.
So, what was your favorite part of the vlog?! Don't be a stranger...show us some love in the comments!

++Wait, what's RaD?: Ryan And Darin (that's us! yes...we both have boy names...is that weird?). Get it? ...r And d...RAD.
++The Adventure: riding our bikes around a bunch of different places in this world for a year. Seeing new sights, trying new foods, meeting lots of new people, visiting old friends and generally having a swell ol' time challenging ourselves to EXPLORE MORE(!) from the saddle of a bicycle. Yay!
