Limited registration for the most beautiful cycling route: Sun Moon Lake Bike Day
Text by MOOK Scenic Spots Travel Life Network, reported by Chen Guanxin
The stunning mountains and waters of Sun Moon Lake are among Taiwan’s most famous tourist attractions. In 2012, the Sun Moon Lake lakeside highway was voted one of the world’s top ten most beautiful cycling routes by CNNGO, the travel lifestyle website under CNN. In response, the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area Administration, in conjunction with the 2012 Taiwan Cycling Festival series of events, will launch the family-friendly “Sun Moon Lake COME!BIKEDAY” cycling event on November 11. The event offers two routes: 30 kilometers and 10 kilometers, allowing participants to ride along the Sun Moon Lake highway and the water cycling path. With the picturesque lakeside scenery as a backdrop, visitors can fully enjoy the beauty of Sun Moon Lake. Registration for this event is now open, with a limit of 2,000 participants.

The event features two routes: a 30-kilometer self-challenge around the lake and a 10-kilometer leisurely ride. The registration fees are NT$600 and NT$400 respectively. Participants will receive a long-sleeve sweatshirt, a large sports towel, snacks, and a set of customized event stamps. Those in the self-challenge group will also receive a commemorative medal and certificate. There will also be prize draws worth over NT$100,000 at the event, with lucky cyclists standing a chance to win.

Additionally, this event is part of the 2012 Taiwan Cycling Festival — “Taiwan King of the Mountains Cycling Challenge.” It will invite both domestic and international elite cyclists who participated in the King of the Mountains event on November 10. On-site cyclists will also have the chance to see stars such as the 2010 Tour de France King of the Mountains, the 2011 Tour de France Combativity Award winner, and the 2012 Giro d’Italia stage champion.
