I’m hatching a travel plan and would appreciate feedback from anyone who knows the Fulong/Nanya area. My general idea was to grab my folding bicycle, hop and the train to Fulong and bike up to Nanya. After seeing the funky rocks, I would hop back on the bike, head to Fulong for a swim and then catch the train into Taipei. Does anyone have any reasons this wouldn’t work? My bike doesn’t have gears so if the road is really hilly I might be S.O.L. Does anyone know how long it would take to get from Fulong to Nanya?
Also, does anyone have an opinion on whether it’s worth it to go to the paid part of Fulong Beach? My boyfriend and I hit the free part of the beach lately and found it to be completely garbage-ridden. Maybe we just picked the worng day to go though because it was a Monday and piles of garbage were being burned. Is this how locals dispose of the garbage that has piled up over the weekend?
