Precautions

In the section of the Taiwan provincial highway 28 Cishan Bridge and Xinwei Bridge, pay attention to fast-moving vehicles.
This itinerary is a long-distance challenge. In addition to Meinong Lake, Meinong still has beautiful pastoral scenery and Hakka culture along the route. It is recommended that it can also be arranged independently as a one-day in-depth cycling tour.
If you want to rent a public bicycle to ride on the best part of this route, there are stations where you can rent and return YouBike in downtown Cishan, downtown Meinong, and Meinong Lake.
