Riding on County Road 193
The starting point is located in Xincheng and the endpoint is in Yuli, Hualien. Hualien County Road 193, which is about 111 kilometers long, has convenient transportation from the starting point to the ending point, and it happens to ride along the west side of the beautiful coastal mountains. It is different from the route that mainly takes Provincial Highway 9 of the valley terrace, so this is a route that can follow the western foot of the northern section of the Coastal Mountain Range, and enjoy the intertwining fields and mountains of the East Rift Valley from another angle. Because this route is located on the west side of the mountain range and the road is densely covered with trees, whether going southbound or northbound, the sun will be blocked in the early morning of summer and there are Taiwan eucalyptus trees that bloom in rich colors. There are also poincianas that bloom red in early summer and golden shower trees (cassia fistula). Evergreen small-leaved terminalia trees are also scattered along the way, and there are many ups and downs along the route, so it can add a lot of fun to the itinerary. This itinerary is based on County Road 193 near the Coastal Mountains. It is recommended that you start from Xincheng on the first day and ride along the county road indicators. You can pass Qixing Lake (Qixingtan), Historic Trail, Shanxing, and Tafalong directly during the ride. On the first day, the lodging point can be arranged in the direction of Guangfu in the valley. On the second day, we will start from Guangfu and return to County Road 193. We will pass Tze Chiang minimum security prison, Police Station, Pu Tiantang Road, and other popular scenic spots or secret places, and finally arrive at the end of County Road 193 inYuli, and come toYuli City to enjoy the famous stinky tofu, jade noodles, and other local delicacies. Leave from Yuli Station to complete the journey.
