If you didn't know, Taiwan actually has a dedicated cycling route that circumfrances the entire island, it's call Cycling Route 1, and this is what we will be following (with a couple of detours) over the next three weeks.

Cycling route 1 can be done in just 9 days for those who are really looking for a challenge, but we want to explore all the stops along the way so we're adding extra days to ensure we not only get challenged but we also get to travel Taiwan in the most unique way possible!

Epic 110km Cycling Adventure In Taiwan! (Biking Taiwan Day 2)

This vlog documents Max and Jacqueline's second day of their ambitious 1000km cycling journey around Taiwan. Starting in the vibrant city of Cintu after enjoying incredible dumplings, they face their first challenge: sore bottoms from the previous day's 75km ride. They choose the challenging 110km route to Taichung City over the shorter option.

Their ride takes them past the ocean for the first time in their trip, a welcome sight after days spent inland. They enjoy a dedicated bike lane for 15km, providing a welcome respite. The route winds through picturesque landscapes, with enchanting bamboo forests and twisted vines. They encounter a beautiful statue and temple, with a strong scent of incense and stunning orchids. The temple features the goddess Mazu, goddess of the sea, a fitting location given their proximity to the ocean.

Their journey isn't without its difficulties. They encounter a steep uphill climb near the end, testing their physical and mental endurance. Max and Jacqueline's determination shines through as they push themselves to the limit, even when they doubt their ability to finish. The final downhill into Taichung City is exhilarating, despite a wrong turn adding to the excitement.
