Saturday: Shokoua – Manzhou

Meal: Breakfast
After you’ve had breakfast (and maybe a stroll and swim at the beach?), we’ll head to a traditional morning market, onto the luckiest temple in south Taiwan, and then drive to the peak of the SW mountain range.
From here, it’s a 63 km ride (at your own pace) downhill through tropical mountains on quiet, well-sealed roads, where we’ll likely see monkeys in the trees, then a long stretch alongside the beautiful blue Pacific. We’ll rest and have some drinks and snacks at a shaded spot, with hammocks waiting for you, right next to a swimming area.
From here, we’ll head through a small hillside range and finish at a local farming town for a fantastic local lunch. And after lunch, we’ll go to a beautiful, secluded waterfall and waterhole perfect for a soak.
In the afternoon, you can watch the sun set into the ocean from the beach or the roof terrace - a perfect way to end the day.
And if you’d like to do more, we’ll happily take you around the night market, where there’s delicious food and games galore!

Following breakfast - and maybe another morning beach walk and swim - we’ll ride around the peninsular, starting and finishing at your accommodation. And enjoy a late checkout; we want you to enjoy as much of your last day as possible!
We’ll head into the National Park, with a beautiful climb and descent with many large trees and plenty of foliage, then past beautiful bays and sandy beaches.
We’ll cycle by the most southerly point of Taiwan as well as Baisha beach (used for a filming location in the Life Of Pi movie) and onto the best seafood restaurant around for a fantastic lunch – and then a quick ride back to the hotel where you can shower and pack.
We’ll then take you to Kaohsiung International Airport (KHH) or High-Speed Rail in time for your departure flight or train.
