Old Caoling Circular Bike Path Introduction

The old Caoling Tunnel Bike Path is approximately 20 kilometers long, and cycling round trip takes about 2 hours. The starting point is Fulong Station. Along the way, you can enjoy the views of Guishan Island, a continuous coastline, and magnificent mountain cliffs, making it a must-visit spot to appreciate the beautiful landscape where mountains meet the sea! You will pass through the old Caoling Tunnel, crossing the boundary between New Taipei and Yilan. After cycling through the tranquil and cool tunnel, it feels like entering the world of Spirited Away, where the other side reveals the vast ocean. Along the route, there are two small fishing villages that seem to be hidden paradises: Magang and Ma'ao, where time seems to stand still. The bike rental locations are available at the shops on either side of Fulong Station. It is highly recommended to rent electric bikes from these shops if you want to complete the full loop, as it may be challenging for those who are not physically fit. Additionally, if cycling in the summer, be sure to prepare for sun protection, and bring a mask and bottled water.
