Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Nantou do Lugu

Get ready for a ride that showcases the heart of central Taiwan! Starting in Nantou City, you’ll set off from the lively county seat, famous for its night markets and city parks, and start pedaling southward into lush, rolling hills. The route to Lugu covers about 43 km with a good bit of climbing—over 1,200 meters of ascent—so pace yourself and enjoy the journey!

Most of the ride rolls along quiet access roads and scenic, peaceful stretches, with a touch of dedicated cycleway here and there. Expect to wind past farmland and forested hills, especially as you enter the tea country around Lugu, renowned for its award-winning Dong Ding Oolong. With a max elevation at almost 570 meters, you’ll definitely earn your downhill finish, which drops you right into the heart of Lugu township.

Pack some snacks and a camera—the views are great, especially as you get closer to the tea plantations. Once in Lugu, treat yourself to a tea tasting or a stroll through the bamboo forests. This ride offers a real taste of rural Taiwan and ends in one of its coziest towns!
