Good morning Xiao Liuqiu we took the scooters out again for a brief spin and breakfast. Here we were again at the Vase Rock for a lovely morning view. |
After the breakfast we returned the scooters and all packed to leave the island. Goodbye Greenie "minsu". |
For the last time in the street of Xiao Liuqiu as we gradually rolled out to the Ferry Terminal. |
We bumped into out minsu landlady and we shall remember her for chanting "Love you love you 爱你 爱你 Malaysian". Her son helped us to take this photo. Bye bye Xiao Liuqiu. |
At Tungliu Ferries Joint Sercive Centre and we took the second ferry at 9am. |
The distance from Liuqiu Island to Donngang Ferry Terminal is about 18km away. |
All set at for our next destination, Donggang and let's hit the road again. |
As much as possible we try to avoid the main road we saw this inner to road and gave it a go and hopefully it is accessible. |
All went well as far as the routing is concerned and the weather was wonderful. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the outskirt Taiwan. |
Still on the right track to Nanzhou Town where we hope to catch a train to Dawu. |
At a typical traffic light stop as we approaches Nanzhou. |
After 9km ride we were at this small town called Nanzhou. |
The train fare NTD26 from Nanzhou Station to Fangliao Station. |
We had a good meal at Tan Ma Ma Shop 陳媽媽肉圓 the dumplings were different and awesome. Everyone one of us left the shop satisfied and happy. |
Tan Ma Ma Shop is located opposite Nanzhou Station at Renli Road GPS : 22.492027, 120.511489 |
Another tough time carrying our bikes and luggage up and down the staircases to the platform. And finally the train arrived. |
The train service in Taiwan is efficient and reliable. The only dislike is we have to bagged our bikes whenever we embark on a train if not one will be imposed with an additional fare. |
At Fangliao Station 枋寮車站 GPS : 22.367886, 120.594990 |
All ready to go to the southern most tip of Taiwan Island at Kenting. |
We were surprised to meet Aroha and Alan on the road again. The last time we met this Melbourne couple was at Nantou Bus Terminal, Kaohsiung. They were on their way to Checheng. |
The wide motor cycle lane is always bicycle friendly and making it safe and comfortable. |
Lovely view of the vast South China Sea with good road laid in front of us. |
Taiwan people is really friendly always giving us encouragement to ride on. 加油! 加油! |
I could recognize this familiar face on the bill board, must be a TV celebrity seen on our Malaysian TV. |
Another stop at 7-11 outlet located at the junction of Delong and Route 1 GPS : 22.194768, 120.691934 |
The route was getting strenuous with the head wind as we pedalled along the coast line. |

The night market 墾丁夜市 of Kenting is found on the main road and it was near to our homestay. We took a walk to the night market to experience the atmosphere and pamper our hungry tummies.
Kenting night market is happening, full of visitors and many interesting to see. |
