Light two-day travel in Lanyang Plain
The Lanyang area is located in the northeast of Taiwan, with high mountains on the west side. It is wet and rainy in the winter due to the influence of the northeast monsoon, and rains in the afternoon in the summer. With abundant water sources and fertile land in the alluvial plain, agriculture is very developed, with beautiful scenery and gentle terrain. It is a great place for bike tours. Toucheng, located at the northern end of the plain, was the first stop in the history of the Lanyang Plain. It is known as "the first city in Kailan". Therefore, this tour starts from the Taiwan Railway's Toucheng Station. First, visit Toucheng Old Street to imagine how the first inhabitants settled down here, and then go around to Wushi Port. In addition to cheering for the surfers at Wai'ao beach, you can also store bicycles first, take a whale-watching boat out to sea, go to Guishan island, and see Taiwan from a different angle. Leaving Toucheng, enter the YilanCoastal Bicycle Paths, go south along the Pacific coast to the estuary of Lanyang creek, and then connect to the beautiful DongshanRiver bicycle path by the highway. You can use the Sanqi Rice trail to cross the rice fields to Dongshan to end a happy day of riding. The next day, we will continue on the bicycle path between the DongshanRiver and Meihua Hu, which is ecologically rich and has roads around the lake. Then, we will follow the bicycle path on the right bank of the Lanyang creek and pass Luodong Sports Park to Yilan City at a leisurely and slow pace. Complete this wonderful two-day trip to enjoy the coast, settlements, and farmland of Lanyang Plain by bicycle.
