- Episode 28: Taroko, Finally!!
After so much build up to this part of our ride, the day(s) finally arrived. We opted to take two days in order to spend a bit more time chillin’ among the stunning mountain cliffs in this goooorgeous gorge.
We’re also planning to make a “Taroko Tips” video for all cyclists interested in experiencing this stunning (and easily accessible) part of the world on two wheels. Subscribe and stay tuned!

++The Adventure: riding our bikes around a bunch of different places in this world for a year. Seeing new sights, trying new foods, meeting lots of new people, visiting old friends and generally having a swell ol' time challenging ourselves to EXPLORE MORE(!) from the saddle of a bicycle. Yay!

Toroko Gorge was so unexpected and beautiful! I am learning so much through your travels! It's like getting a geography lesson for me:)
Patty Voisinet Yay! So glad you liked it! And extra points for the geography lesson 🤗 🗺 . Actually one of the things we love about travel, learn about so many incredible places and how the world fits together
Holy Moly, amazing nature !
Andy DerksMKKT953DI Really!! Definitely a known spot, but really wasn’t very crowded and amazing
we could camp by ourselves (and for free!). That would never happen back home in such stunning wilderness!
Idyllic very enjoyable watch.
Mike Lees Thanks Mike! Definitely a special place
One of your best! Very well composed and the geography was stunning.

Alan Bartz Aww thanks so much Pa!!
I was leaning to see the summit through my laptop LOL.... Loved mother nature
Vinaykumar Eluri Reeeeally beautiful. Next time think we’d stay another night and do more hiking and perhaps cycle a little further into the gorge (though it get crazy steep).
WOW.....felt so disappointed that I did not ride in to the Taroko Park but only had a brief visit around the entrance area during my solo round island ride during early autumn 2017. I had made my accommodation reservation to Hualien for at 3 nights at least early next month just to see Taroko Gorge with my wife but not cycling. This will give me a good excuse to ride solo and wild camp there next time in near future from east side at Hualien to west coast across the Taroko and Mount Wuling to Taichung. You gals rock.....ride on and have safe and fun ride in this beautiful country especially for those cycling tourers from abroad.
Yes...you need to go and ride it!! You'll definiely want a road bike if going all the way to Wuling! It gets insane!! The camping was super peaceful though. And thanks Wong, we really loved our time in Taiwan!
In Taipei I met so many cyclists who had cycled around the coast of Taiwan. Big roads and heavy traffic. It looked so boring and not fun in comparison to riding in the central hills and beautiful mountains. You should definitely go back and ride the full length of the gorge from the top down. It's a long way.
Alex Morgan Would definitely like to do that next time. Sure we’ll be back to Taiwan some day 😉
Amazing adventure! Love the blog. Gunnar says hi!!!
Bob Turner Bob! I have been thinking about you guys! So happy to hear from you and even happier that you’re all enjoying the vlog! Hi Gunnar!
Wow, you guys seem to have really enjoyable tour in Taiwan with beautiful scenery.
Marko Salmela Yes the beauty really took us by surprise daily! Recommend a tour there
The look of awe and wonder on your face as you both were riding though the gorge was genuine and i loved it!
What a spectacular day, stunning, beautiful ride you made, thanks for sharing. will try nextime. safe rides.....
Awesome!
Greeting from Taiwan. Thank you for introducing this bike trip in Taiwan.
Such a beautiful country to cycle.
wow,
what an awesome view
im planning to go there next month,i want to experience what you experienced guys,thank you for your tips n video
keep pedaling 🚴🏼♂️🚴🏼♂️
Thanks Mark! Enjoy your time there. I know you'll love it! Just hope for good weather. Are you cycling all around Taiwan?
rad bike adventure
im currently working in taiwan,and i start loving cycling here,lots of beautiful places and taroko gorge is my top 1 favorite,
you gave me brilliant ideas on how i enjoy my vacation there
i pedal during my day off,
1 place at a time,
when i have long vacation i try the taiwan loop
That sounds like a great way to do things. The loop of the 1 is not my favorite part. Definitely try to get off the main "1" route and do smaller roads. Much more interesting!
Mark Jay, so happy to be helping you with your trip ideas! If you look at our route you can get an idea of where exactly we pedaled. I hope to have a GPX route in future for download. radbikeadventure.wordpress.com/our-current-route/
This is an amazing vid so beautiful & filming brilliant !! Man o Man do I want to go to china now!!!
I went there on a rented scooter, if you ride all the way up the top you are literally in the cloud, beautiful gorges!
Would love to ride the whole thing someday (maybe unloaded...)!
Beautiful
Yes, such a special place in the world! Have you traveled there?
How were logistcs through the gorge (conbini, supermarkets etc)? ...Ah so you guys doubled back towards the coast to get the train then. At what point roughly did you turnaround?
Nice
Thanks Harish Arya! Have you visited Taroko or would like to?
You guys took video mostly on the way back, right?
It was better filming cruising back down yes!
I like you guys.
Thanks! glad you enjoy our videos and our personalities!
You only rode on the easy parts of the national park ladies.
Richard Orr Yes we definitely did. We were way to loaded down to get to the very top section of the trans highway and it just didn’t make since for the loop we were doing. Next time we will have to go with less stuff!
You only rode such a short section of the gorge. You missed out on so much.
Alex Morgan Too much gear and wasn’t on our route to cut across the island. Leaves something for the next time for sure! (Also one of us is still recovering from ACL surgery so too many steep climbs not the best...)
Those the worlds widest bike lanes, i bet.
nah, in Taroko, gotta share with the cars
rad bike adventure, you are a brave person for riding along high way traffic. Especially in places where traffic signs are considered ornaments or non existent. Stay safe.
Student Loans Are Cool People here are VERY respectful of the roads and cyclists! Feel much safer than in the US
rad bike adventure, thats good to hear! Good luck!
