If you're a cycling enthusiast looking for a scenic and adventurous route in Taiwan, the east coast is a great choice. Highway 11, which runs parallel to the Pacific Ocean, offers stunning views of the sea, the mountains, and the local culture. In this blog post, I will share my experience of cycling from Hualien to Taitung via Highway 11.

| Mt Xueshan with Monmaria |
Mount Xueshan, also known as Snow Mountain, is the second highest mountain in Taiwan, standing at a height of 3,886 meters. It is located in the Shei-Pa National Park, which is a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts in Taiwan. As hiker and lover of nature, I had long dreamed of making the trek to the summit of this majestic peak, and I finally got my chance on last December 2022.
The hike up Mount Xueshan is not for the faint of heart. It is a grueling climb, with steep inclines, treacherous terrain, and unpredictable weather conditions. But for those who are up for the challenge, the rewards are immeasurable. The views from the top are breathtaking, with panoramic vistas of Taiwan's stunning natural landscape.
