DAY 02 Hengchun- Xuhai
Weather: 32-34° overcast, showers
Start: 12:00 – Arrival 19:20
Distance: 74km
After a night of heavy rain, we woke up and decided to take a look at Hengchun. Hengchun is a small charming city with four old gates and many old houses. The recent Taiwanese movie “Cape 7” permeates the town. It was pleasant to walk through and enjoy its peaceful atmosphere. At noon the rain had stopped and the typhoon had left Taiwan so we packed our stuff and followed the last leg of our road down south. We left Hengchun by the East gate where the Alangyi ancient road formally starts. Heading south, we passed Kending. Kending is an animated, lively area where people like to enjoy holidays on the sea. Shops, restaurant, music and young students were everywhere. After our meal we continued down and reached the most southeastern part of the island, Eluanbi. When we changed to a more easterly direction the landscape noticeably changed. There were no more shops, fewer cars on the road, and only trees and green grass faced the Pacific Ocean.
Arriving at Gangkou we rode County Road 200 to the mountains. After many ups and downs we finally arrived at the coast at the end of the day. There were still some kilometres yet to cover. The sound of the lapping waves and the blanketing darkness of the night welcomed us as we rode towards the guesthouse. The rain started again while we were eating our dinner. Happy and tired, we were pleased to again be able to enjoy another peaceful night of deserved rest.
