This is the starting point for both the Dongfong route and the shorter, but equally worthwhile, Houfong Bicycle Path (后豐自行車綠廊). Renting a set of wheels costs between NT$100 and NT$250, depending on what kind of bicycle you want. On weekends and holidays you might be asked to return the bikes within three hours; on weekdays you’ll likely to be told there’s no time limit. If pedaling isn’t your thing, spend a bit more and get an electric bicycle or a golf cart. There’s no point in shopping around to save money, as almost all rental outfits charge prices set by a county government-backed business association. However, discounts are sometimes offered in mid-week. |
