A CYCLING DAY AT DONGSHAN RIVER WATER PARK (冬山河親水公園)

I have not ridden a bicycle for a long time, even though biking is such a hot leisure activity in Taiwan. We took a family trip to I-Lan and stayed near Dongshan River (冬山河) after Christmas last year. Since the hotel offered free bicycles, I borrowed one and rode to Dongshan River Water Park (冬山河親水公園) to enjoy a nice ride along the river.

Though ridding on a rusty bike, I still enjoyed the fun of cycling because of the pretty view and very few bikers there.

Will I buy a bike after this trip? I don't think so. I really don't think Taipei area is a bike-friendly place, and I still prefer hiking than cycling.
