The best mountain biking in Taiwan!

Hi there,

I am looking at putting together a 7-10 day mountain biking adventure taking in the most spectacular trails to be found up the length of this island.

With such magnificent terrain on this gnarly island there has got to be some awesome rides out there!

I would be interested to hear back from all the avid mountain bikers out there as to what you consider to be your favorite trails, or if you have heard of some epic trails existing but have yet to check them out. Also any hikers that have come across some cool trails that could be mountain biked.

The more radical the better…rivers, swing-bridges, mountain top views, rolling 4 wheel drive tracks, tea fields, and aboriginal villages. The less tarmac the better

I live in Taipei and am familiar with some of the Wulai trails, in particular the Tonghou and a couple of other local rides. Have yet to do the LaLaShan to FuShan ride but it is next on my hit list! Have hiked up ChilaiShan and that would be another great ride also…prehaps going all the way to the east coast?

What ya think!
