With the azure coastline, verdant mountains, luxurious beautiful scenes, warm and down to earth people, and stores cheering for you along the paths, Taitung County is waiting for every dream practitioner.
The extravagant enjoyment of mountains and seas
The azure coast and verdant mountains offer the most extravagant enjoyments for people from the northern and western parts of Taiwan; however, they are very common in Taitung. The most complete Guanshan bicycle trail in Taiwan is safe and quiet without interference from vehicles. Taitung City, Luye Longtian, Chishang, and the coastline all have their own exclusive bicycle trails. Just like riding in the Peach Blossom Land, there are a variety of natural and simple sceneries along the trails.
International Triathlon
Triathlon is a three-in-one race that combines swimming, cycling, and road running. Taitung’s pure land with good mountains and water is the best environment for training triathletes. It is hoped to become a place to cultivate triathletes of the Asian Games and Olympic Games.
Strolling along the authentic bicycle trails
The East Rift Valley has flat and green fields with green or golden yellow paddies; rapeseed flowers breed on warm winter days. You can ride through the checkerboard fields, cross the green tunnel in the morning dawn, pass the streams that extend along the rift valley, and the verdant fields and mountains are always with you.
