2016 Sep. Yilan.
从太鲁阁下山后，在花莲搭火车到宜蘭。又遇上了超可爱的火车。宜蘭是我回台北途中，经过稍作停留的最后一站。
Yilan is the last stop of my Taiwan round island tour. Known for its wonderful street food and onsens, I only stopped over for a brief afternoon. I visited the garden by cartoonist Jimmy, ending my memorable and adventurous trip on a happy and whimsical none.
2016 Sep. Taitung. Sanxiantai.
蘭嶼搭船回到台东，隔天就开始骑着我的小摺脚车从台東，沿着海线骑了三天，一直到花莲。全程要167公里，心里大概有个方向，分三天的车程。沿途有美的风景就骑去看看，饿了就找吃的，累了再休息找民宿。
After returning to Taiwan mainland from Orchid Island, I started my ambitious 3-day foldie bike trip from Taitung to Hualien the following day. It was a gorgeous scenic ride which covered about 167km along the stunning coastal road facing the Pacific Ocean.
2016 Aug. Rail & Bike Travel Itinerary. Taiwan Island & Orchid Island.
背包旅行真的会让人上瘾。独自为伴随性出发，放任享受大自然美景，轻松体验生活可以很简单，沉淀心情回归自己。
念念不忘半年前二月份的台湾花东自由行，决定在回去上班前再来一次台湾环岛行。这次想走得更偏远，从北到南绕一圈，也到离岛蘭嶼看看。自备折叠脚车，想到哪儿就骑到哪儿。
先在台北住了一星期，期间去了乌来、台中、瑞穗、玉里。之后的三个星期，单人行程从台北出发搭台铁沿西海岸南下到內灣、高雄、墾丁，转游轮到蘭嶼，返程到台東、骑车沿东海岸北上经三仙台、石梯坪到花蓮、搭客运到太魯閣、火车到宜蘭、再转客运回台北。
这一个月的轻松旅行，接下来慢慢与大家分享。。。

Taiwan is one of my favorite travel destinations that I keep going back, again and again. The island is blessed with gorgeous natural landscapes, delicious local delicacies, convenient transportation, and very friendly people wherever you go. Traveling within Taiwan is easy and comfortable. Quality homestays in scenic areas are common and best of all, very budget friendly.
I decided to go on a more ambitious round-island solo backpacking trip via rail, bus, and my foldable bike this time. After spending a week in Taipei taking short trips nearby, I started my solo round island trip. The highlight of my itinerary is Orchid Island, an offshore hard to get to island still inhabited by its native aboriginal residents, that retained much of it pristine natural beauty and tribal charm.
My following blog posts will share more pics and details of my month-long travel…
