  • I decided to take a ride along a part of Taiwan that I'd never been to or heard much about. Now I know why!
    Join me as I ride 60km along the Taichung coastline.

    Wrapping your wife's Brompton in the rain jacket to end up with a package TRA is happy with is a smart move.
    I've had 12°C and rain in Taichung once and it was miserable, so props for heading out on the bike at 15°C.
    Merry xmas and keep 'em coming.

      Unfortunately, it didn't work and I almost missed my train as I rode around the station area looking for a black rubbish bag to put my bike in. Bloody jobsworth TRA staff!

      @@AsiaHikelopedia I see a new Hikelopedia product here: Richard's signature rain jacket that can morph into a TRA-compatible Brompton cover by undoing some buttons...
      Keep in mind Brompton has a stronghold in urban Asian markets, so there actually might be a market for such a product in Tokyo, Osaka, Singapore...

    The brompton bicycle can be equipped with an electric motor, so that it will not be tired for long distances, and it will be fast.

    Hello Richard, I am also considering going to ride in Taiwan. Maybe this fall/winter 2023-24. We travel the same way, hotels and minimal luggage. I thought about joining an organized group but most only melt the East Coast in 7-8 days. I would like to spend three weeks seeing the coast and also the mountains. My concern lies with the food side. Of course, Taiwan is famous for its food and cuisine (and I like oriental cuisine), but I'm not very comfortable ordering from menus and restaurants written in Mandarin Chinese, especially outside of large cities. Eating well while cycling is important! I'm a bit of a "traditional picky eater", especially at breakfast. In your video, you seem to like convenience stores for eating. I admit to being a little surprised if I am offered to eat noodles or soup for breakfast as I have read on travel forum. What about ordering food and booking hotels if you don't know Mandarin? Can we get by with Google Translate? Thank you in advance for your advice.

    • @AsiaHikelopedia
      @AsiaHikelopedia  Рік тому +1

      Most people who work in the tourism industry and shopkeepers in Taiwan speak at least a little English and restaurants in touristy areas will have an English menu. If not, Google will work for sure. For breakfast I eat like a local, but for picky eaters there are breakfast shops that sell decent sandwiches (bacon and egg) in pretty much every small town. Otherwise 7-11s have western stuff too. Most importantly, people in Taiwan are super friendly and always willing to help out foreigners. So don't worry, you will have a great time!

    You might want to invest in some pepper spray for dogs in future - always an issue in Taiwan sadly.
    That Outlet Mall actually has some excellent food options. I even found fish n chips last time I was down there!
    Thanks for another excellent video. I do wish that the Taiwanese government would take better care of the west coast areas - especially the beaches. Zhunan beach is lovely but the local government has done very little to develop or protect it.

    上次騎新竹十七公里海岸線景觀自行車道還蠻不錯的,但如果騎到沒人管的西部海岸線,就是殘破、荒蕪、風沙大及垃圾一堆的景緻,政府單位及在地民眾要好好檢討一下,為何美麗的海岸線會管理成這樣.

    • @jontheb123
      @jontheb123 Рік тому +1

      Yes, especially the Miaoli sections of it. Zhunan Beach could be a great tourist attraction if the government took proper care of it...

    I rode my scooter around the coast of Taiwan back in June. I saw many places like this along the way. I'm making videos about it now.
    2:36 During my trip most of the dogs I came across were surprisingly chill, except the night in Chiayi when I was being chased by a pack (that I didn't see, only heard behind me) on a dark road between some fields. Thankfully the scooter is much faster.
    4:13 I drove through sand like that (and almost fell off my scooter) on my 4th day between Chiayi and Tainan. I had to change my route when it became too much to go through.
    4:52 I went by Songbo Fishing Harbour on my 2nd day (video is on my channel).
    13:31 I stopped there too on my 2nd day (It's also in my video)! Same beeping sound from the trucks too! lol
    Great video, overall! You've earned a subscriber!

    全世界廿座最佳離岸風電場,台灣就號稱佔了十六個,就知道台灣西海岸的風有多強了。。。第二段路你闖入台中港工業區了,那兒全是工廠,也是台灣離岸風電產業聚集地,離住宅區有些距離,所以也沒有商家,您找不到吃的也不足為奇了,因是港口,都是大型貨櫃車和連結車,不是遊玩的好地點,你看來就像是隻誤闖叢林的小白兔。。。
