A 1,000km Bike Ride Around Taiwan
The Huandao cycling route lets riders explore Taiwan's coasts, small towns and changing landscapes at a slower pace.
In Taiwan, many people take a long bike ride called the Huandao. The name means around the island. The full route is almost 1,000km long.
Riders often start in Taipei and travel clockwise. They see rocky coasts, fishing villages, forests, beaches and busy cities. Some people ride the whole route. Others choose only one part.
For many students, the journey is a special challenge before university. It is also becoming popular with visitors who want to travel slowly and see places outside the big cities.
The BBC says spring and autumn are good times to cycle. Riders can rent bikes, stop at small shops and stay in family-run guesthouses. The Huandao shows that a bicycle can be a simple way to discover a place.
