Taiwan KOM challenge

As the home of GIANT and MERIDA, Taiwan is the ultimate cycling holiday destination for road cycling fans. Cycling is big here, in fact, there is an official 968km (602 mile) bicycle route, the Taiwan Cycle Route No.1, that will take you around the entire island on cycle paths, quiet country roads, and busier roads with dedicated cycle lanes, and so it is perfect for self-guided trips.

 

When you are not on your bike, you can head to the top of the iconic TAIPEI 101, previously the world’s tallest building, seek enlightenment at one of 12,000 temples, shop to your hearts content, and indulge in the lively street-food scene of the night markets, and so it really a great all-around cycling holiday destination.
