On Sunday, we took our second trip out to Taichung County for biking: our first trip was to the Dong Fong Bicycle Green Way, this trip was spent at the Tan Ya Shen Bike Path [潭雅神鐵馬道 (website)].
Despite the beautiful weather, the path was almost deserted.
Three things I didn’t expect to see on the path:
1) An F-5E Tiger II:
2) Ostriches (the only photo that came out decent shows one of the two that shared a small enclosure)!
A couple local children climbed one of the tanks to set off a small firecracker from the top.
On the way back I bought roses from a woman selling some along the path, I gave one to everyone… see, I can be nice sometimes.
All the girls went home with a rose, I went home with a bad sunburn.
Say, is that a bike-specific road, all clean and spiffy and well-maintained? If only we had some around here…
Sure is Paul… although one section of the path went through a residential area and people had a few cars and scooters parked on it. I don’t know the legality of it, because the signs say no motor vehicles… lack of enforcement in Taiwan? No way!
Stumble upon your site … nice info about taiwan. Maybe you can also come and check out http://www.intaichung.com. Nice website for and by expats in taichung .. enjoy ^^
