Bikepacking z Taitung City do Hualien City

This epic cycling adventure takes you from the laid-back vibes of Taitung City all the way to Hualien City, tracing one of Taiwan’s most spectacular coastal corridors. You'll cover over 217 kilometers, much of it on quiet roads with dramatic ocean views and lush mountain backdrops—the kind of scenery that makes your legs forget they’re working!

Taitung City is famous for its relaxed pace, vibrant indigenous culture, and beautiful seafront parks. As you roll north, expect a good dose of ups and downs (over 1,500 meters of elevation gain in total), but nothing ridiculously steep. Most of the route hugs the coast, offering glimpses of turquoise Pacific waves and remote fishing villages, especially lovely around Donghe or Shitiping.

Hualien City marks your finish line, nestled between the mountains and the sea. It’s the gateway to the majestic Taroko Gorge, and the bustling Dongdamen Night Market is a perfect place to fuel up post-ride.

Pro tip: The climate can shift quickly, so pack for rain and sun. And get ready—a ride like this is as much about the journey as the destination!
