Eight days and seven nights locomotive round-the-island itinerary and expenses are enough to read this article｜Food, accommodation, attractions

Read this article for Taiwan’s round-the-island itinerary. I often hear people say that Taiwanese must go around the island by motorcycle once in their life. Why do people like to go around the island by motorcycle so much? Take Aa himself, the biggest advantage of riding a motorcycle around the island is that it is more beautiful if you see it You can stop immediately when you are enjoying the scenery, you don’t need to spend a lot of time looking for a parking space like driving, especially when you arrive at a popular scenic spot or night market, you don’t need to wait in line for a parking space, and the motorcycle around the island is also cheaper

This article mainly sorts out the places we went in each county and city this time. You can choose the parts you want to play from the following routes. You don’t have to follow the process from beginning to end. You can start from what you want to go or are interested in. Start your trip around the island~~ The main itinerary this time is in Nanheng and the eastern half, and Green Island is a temporary extra itinerary

▌ Things to pay attention to when traveling around the island

– Pre-departure locomotive inspection –

It is a long-distance trip to go around the island by locomotive. Before departure, ask the owner of the car dealer you know for a health check. Remember to tell the boss that you want to go around the island. Please help me check and maintain it. The owner of the car dealer will know what items to check for your car. The parts that need to be replaced still have to be replaced. Don’t save those costs. The following are the items that are more often replaced:

• tire:Long-term exposure and wear of the tires will reduce the grip and slip when riding, especially in rainy days. Therefore, it is necessary to check whether the tread pattern of the front and rear tires is deep enough before departure? If the tire has been ground or hardened, cracks must be replaced. In the tire pressure part, please ask the owner of the car dealer to help check whether it is within the normal range.
• brakes:It is very important to brake at any time when riding a bicycle. You can ask the owner of the car dealer to check whether the thickness of the brake pads can complete the entire roundabout or whether it is recommended to change to a new set before starting. If the brakes fail during the journey, it is no joke! In addition, the tightness of the brake can be adjusted to the tightness you are used to during the car inspection. Too loose or too tight is not the best state.
• transmission:When inspecting the vehicle, the owner of the vehicle dealer will open the transmission cover of the motorcycle to check the state of the transmission part of the vehicle, especially the "belt" of the transmission is one of the items that must be inspected. If the locomotive belt is broken during the journey, even if the locomotive can be started, it is still impossible to move forward without the belt. If it is necessary to replace the new belt during the inspection, please replace it directly!
• Oil:Before the trip around the island, if the mileage of the engine oil is more than 200 before replacement, you can calculate the mileage yourself and go to a car dealer in each county to replace it. If the mileage is below 200, it is recommended to replace it directly. In terms of gear oil, after all, the price is not expensive and in order to protect the life of the locomotive during long-distance journeys, it is recommended to replace it directly during the inspection.
• other:For example, whether the air filter of a motorcycle is clean or not, you can give it to the dealer for replacement or go to the motorcycle material store to buy a new air filter for replacement. Are the headlights, direction lights, and brake lights normal? The rear view mirror sometimes gets loose and can be locked along the way.

– Prepare luggage –

If Aa goes to the locomotive roundabout, he usually sorts it out according to the sorting list, because we are more free, so when arranging accommodation, we usually start looking for it at noon. We also have a form for everyone to make a preparation List, if you are interested, you can addofficial accountask for

• change of clothes: Clothes, coats, underwear, socks, towels, toilet utensils (some accommodations do not provide spare parts, you can consider bringing 3-4 sets of clothes, wash them every day when you take a bath, roll them up with a towel and dry them, then you don’t need them bring a lot of clothes)
• coat:When the sun is strong, it can be sun-proof and wind-proof (if you have friends who go up the mountain, you can bring a thicker coat to prevent the cold)
• 3C supplies:Mobile phone, power bank (necessary for navigation and Internet access around the island, so be sure to bring it on the road)
• Photographic equipment:Camera, portable tripod, charger (a tripod is one of the necessary items for a person who travels alone and wants to take good photos, so you don’t need to bother passers-by, just take a selfie)
• Footwear:One pair of slippers and one pair of sports shoes (slippers can be changed during rest or used when playing with water)
• Rain gear:Two-piece raincoat, rain boots, waterproof gloves (you can bring them according to your personal habits and needs)
• snack:When you are sometimes in a remote place or on a mountain with insufficient calories or low blood sugar, you can eat it
• other:Plastic bag, sunscreen, pumping or tire repair tool (don’t worry too much if you don’t know how to use it yourself, many passers-by can help), mosquito repellent (plastic bag can be used for changing clothes, if it rains, you can put your carry-on luggage waterproof)

– Special Reminders –

• If you are afraid of being too tired or traveling around the island for the first time, it is recommended that you ride no more than 150 kilometers per day
• If you are afraid of the danger of going around the island alone or your family members will worry, you can install a positioning app (Zenly, Bingyou, etc.)
• When arranging the itinerary, it is recommended to arrange a place for rest and toilet every 1~2 hours
• Refueling is also very important. It is recommended that if you have to go to North Cross, Central Cross, South Cross, Xibin or places with relatively few gas stations such as Taiwan Line 3 or the eastern coast, you should arrange refueling points in advance.
• If you need to change the oil or check if there is any abnormality in the car, pay attention to the business hours of the car dealers, most of the car dealers are closed on Sundays

▌ Day 1 itinerary (Hsinchu Kansai to Meilankou)

Because the main focus of this itinerary is on the south cross and the east half, so on the first day Aa set off from Hsinchu Kansai Terrace Line 3 very early, and agreed with the riders to ride from the south at 7 o'clock, and it is expected to arrive today Meilankou has a total length of 337 kilometers. There are relatively few rests in the itinerary, but I still ran a few scenic spots and delicious food. Because I don’t want to go to the mountain road at night, so the second half of the itinerary Aa is to choose a route that is more than the urban area.The map can be clicked here

Because the weather looks good, Aa decides to go to Green Island temporarily. We want to go to Green Island with our favorite locomotive KRN, but we won’t transport the locomotive over this time after passing by, all of them were crashes.
