Bikepacking z Taitung City do Hengchun

Get ready for a truly epic cycling adventure! Starting in the laid-back coastal city of Taitung—famous for its vibrant Indigenous culture, easy-going pace, and views of the Pacific—you’ll be pedaling almost 193 km all the way to Hengchun, the historic gateway to Kenting National Park at the southern tip of Taiwan.

This is no ordinary ride: you’ll climb over 8000 meters in total, with some hefty ascents through lush mountains, high plateaus, and rolling farmland. The route is refreshingly quiet, mostly country roads and tracks, offering those classic East Coast vistas—towering cliffs to one side, endless ocean to the other. Expect the surface to be a bit of a mixed bag, mostly paved but with a need to stay alert for concrete patches and the occasional bumpier stretch.

Reaching Hengchun feels like a reward: it’s an old walled town brimming with history, and just a stone’s throw from the beaches and coral reefs of Kenting. This is a long, challenging route, perfect for adventure-seekers looking to experience Taiwan’s wild side on two wheels!
