Taichung & Nantou County, Taiwan
I am contemplating a tour of Taiwan next month. The plan is to fly into Touyuan aiport, bus it from there to Taichung making use of the UBUS service that departs from the airport and start my tour in Taichung. After riding and exploring Taichung City proper, I'm thinking of heading southeast toward Nantou county and doing the bulk of my riding there, sans camping or cooking gear, relying on road-side accommodation. Depending on conditions, I may even ride up to Wuling at 3,275masl, take a pic and ride back down. Any comments or suggestions about touring this part of central Taiwan?
P.S. I already did the East Coast a few years back.
The heart of the matter, the heart of Taiwan

We did that climb this past Christmas from the east side via Taroko Park. It's a tough climb and you may begin to regret your life halfway up.
Be aware that Road 8 west of Lishan town is permanently closed due to landslide damage so don't try to loop through there.
We liked the Rainbow Village attraction in Taichung. The National Museum of Natural Science was also excellent. On par with the New York and DC museums.

Ren'ai to Lishan via Rt.89
Yes, I am aware of the closure of Rt. 8 mid-way down to Taichung west of Lishan.
