Cycling day trip from Douliu to Lugu

Set off on your cycling adventure from Douliu, the vibrant heart of Yunlin County, which is known for its delicious agricultural produce and charming local culture. We'll be heading to Lugu, often referred to as the "Kingdom of Tea" nestled within the picturesque Nantou County, home to the famous Dongding Oolong tea.

The journey stretches about 51 kilometers, a perfect blend of challenge and beauty, making it a rewarding ride with significant scenic diversity. Expect an elevation gain of over 1640 meters, giving those legs a good workout, but it's totally worth it. As you pedal along, you'll mostly encounter the peace of access roads and quiet roads, making up a whopping 77% of your route. Prepare to navigate a couple of tracks and roads, which only add to the adventure.

With 74% of the surface still missing, lean into your explorer spirit, but don’t worry, the stretched asphalt and concrete sections provide a comfortable ride when they appear. So, grab your bike helmets, take a deep breath and enjoy the multitude of landscapes this ride offers. As you approach Lugu, the air will fill with the scent of tea, welcoming you to unwind and treat yourself to a cup of their prized brew. Enjoy the ride!
