According to Ms. Sylvia Yu, Director of Taiwan Tourism Bureau in San Francisco, bike routes in Taiwan are already well received internationally. There are more than 80 dedicated bike routes that cover more than 3,000 miles winding through cities and countryside in Taiwan. Round-island cycling and bicycle tourism have also become very popular. With the outstanding facilities of rest stops, service stores for repairs and tune-ups all across the island, Taiwan is truly an ideal place for cycling enthusiasts worldwide to experience bicycle tourism. CNNGo Travel even named the Sun Moon Lake area as one of the world's 10 most breathtaking cycling routes, where the internationally renowned Taiwan Cycling Festival takes place annually. Moreover, with a grueling 105-kilometer route that takes cyclists through mountains, including an 87-km ascent via the breathtaking Taroko Gorge to Wuling, a peak of Hehuanshan, which rises to an elevation of 3,275 meters, the Taiwan KOM (King of the Mountain) Challenge has earned its place on a list of the world's 10 toughest by French magazine “Le Cycle” and top 6 best mountain bike routes on the planet by SBS Australia.
