Friday Cycling – Up Pingding and down along HWY 14
Published January 31, 2009 Central Taiwan , Cycling , Nantou County 4 Comments
For the last couple months any cycling I’ve done has completely been limited to my commute to and from work. This morning, I managed to change this recent streak with a trip along the Caotun Bike Route [草屯鎮自行車道]. The first portion of the trip was up to the Pingding Sacred Tree [坪頂神木]. Usually there are cyclists resting on the benches near the tree. This time I felt lonely being the only one there, so after sitting a couple minutes and a few sips of Super Supau I was on my way.

A couple days before our wedding we brought my family and Cathy’s nephew up to Cingjing Farm [清境農場] for some great food and mountain scenery. The winding road going up still had a few sections of road missing from the previous typhoon [four months ago]. Luckily there were no delays as there was very little traffic going up or down from our destination because it was a weekday.
Our first stop after such a long drive was Yunwu [清境雲舞樓渡假花園] for some excellent Yunnan cuisine, no need for much description, I’ll let the pictures do the talking…
