Cycling in Fulong

I want to introduce the cycling travel and start with Taipei County’s Old Caoling Tunnel. The tunnel was originally made for trains and was the longest in Taiwan. It is about 2 kilometers when it was built nearly a century ago. It was renovated a couple of years back and is now only for cyclists and pedestrians to enjoy. On the weekends, the Tunnel crowded with people on foot and bicycle.

There is Taiwanese folksong called "Diu-diu-dang-a," whose writer got his inspiration from this old train tunnel. In the tunnel, you can see old bomb shelters and train station signs. The railroad tracks have been removed and the ground repaved with track patterns. At just a little over 2 kilometers long, it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the other side.

You can feel good and cool inside in this tunnel. It's next to the ocean over here and connects Taipei with Yilan. The breeze is quite cool, so it's suitable for people to walk or cycle.

On the other side of Fulong Train Station is the Longmen Suspension Bridge. There is a cycling path on the bridge. From here, people can cycle to Yanliao Beach Park. Fulong has many cycling paths to be explored and can be a great place for a day-trip on the bicycle.
