騎鐵馬遊台灣 英國媒體喊讚
時間：2013/11/17
新聞引據：中國時報
位於台東縣鹿野鄉的龍田自行車道，是相當熱門的單車旅遊點，在舒適涼爽的綠色隧道中自在騎乘單車，讓人心曠神怡。
騎單車暢遊美麗寶島，賞美景嘗美食，體驗和善風土人情，已成為觀光客最愛。英國倫敦「地鐵報」(Metro)旅遊版，以全版面大幅深入報導國外觀光客瘋迷台灣自行車觀光旅遊，標題醒目寫著「騎上自行車 悠遊於遠離塵囂的台灣美景」。
報導指出，台灣自行車路網建置完整，具世界級水準；全國都有各項服務設施健全的自行車租賃計畫，甚至還有為自行車友特別設計的專用飯店。而騎上自行車去台灣各地的溫泉泡湯，目前則已蔚為時尚。
報導表示，台灣各地並經常舉辦的自行車休閒性活動，路線非常吸引人，包括了騎在田野鄉間綠意盎然的稻田、茶香四溢的茶園邊，或者可以選擇攀上景色極致魅力無窮無盡的綿綿山脈與岸堤海涯。
喜歡競賽者，可以考慮參加每年11月初的國際KOM登山王(King of Mountain)自行車賽和環島賽事。
報導引述英國自行車愛好者羅杰斯的經驗，曾參加過「台灣自行車節」KOM登山王自行車賽事的羅杰斯說，台灣自行車體驗，美好的讓人難以忘懷，「當你到達 終點，上氣不接下氣的喘著，知道自己終於突破萬難而抵達的那一刻，站在山頂看著台灣美景，想著一路經過的台灣自行車道景色是如此的獨特，絕無僅有」，「這 麼美好的經驗，應該讓更多人知道。」。
「地鐵報」並特別介紹台灣已成為影迷們愛去的國家，因為台灣是奧斯卡大導演李安拍攝「少年PI的奇幻漂流」取景所在。
另外，在1930年代有小上海之稱，日治時期的淘金重鎮九份，因為導演侯孝賢拍攝電影「悲情城市」，已使這個位於台灣東北角的小山城，成為知名旅遊景點。
最後，報導不忘大力推薦台灣美食，以及原住民狩獵學校，都是到台灣的必遊活動。

Get on your bike and explore off-the-beaten-track Taiwan
On your bike
Home to popular bike manufacturer Giant, Taiwan is bicycle-crazy. There’s an ever-expanding and easy-to-use network of cycling routes criss-crossing the country, as well as bike-hire schemes and even bike hotels. Bike spas are the latest fad, where you can check in your trusty bicycle for a spruce-up. As well as world-class road cycling, Taiwan also has challenging cross-island routes and leisurely paths through rice and tea fields that pass dramatic mountain and coastal scenery. This month, the third annual Taiwan cycling festival is taking place. It’s based around two main events, the leisurely round-island Formosa 900 tour (Sunday to Nov 18) and the Taiwan KOM Challenge (Sunday. British cyclist Lee Rodgers said of his KOM experience: ‘It was, in the end, breathtakingly beautiful yet incredibly tough. This is a race that more people should know about, because it is absolutely unique.’
Grasshopper Adventures offers bike tours across Taiwan, starting from around £615 per person for an 85-mile, five-day tour. www.grasshopperadventures.com
Get Spirited Away
Jiufen, a village in mountainous northern Taiwan, was known as ‘Little Shanghai’ in the 1930s and was at the centre of the gold-mining boom during the Japanese era. Today, it is famous for being the place that inspired the Oscar-winning Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away and it attracts fans who come to admire the decorative old teahouses, winding streets and food markets, just like in the movie. Taiwan’s film tourism is growing elsewhere too, bolstered in part by the country’s most famous export, Oscar-winning director Ang Lee. Most recently, Lee’s 3D film Life Of Pi, shot in Taiwan, caused such a stir that even some of the animals featured in the film now have celebrity status in their cages at Taipei Zoo.
Cox and Kings include Jiufen as a stop in its tailor-made Taipei tours. www.coxandkings.co.uk
Go off-grid
Lying deep in the mountains of Hualien County on the eastern coast, Cidal Hunter School offers a survival crash course that encourages tourists to get back to basics and learn about the island’s indigenous traditions, which are key to Taiwan’s story. Started by husband-and-wife team Valah and Banai, the Cidal Hunter School teaches age-old survival skills to participants, including the intricacies of net fishing and making fire using bamboo. Visitors also learn how to forage, make rope from vines and build a snare trap, as well as exploring wider hunting and shelter skills. The survival course taps into the off-grid trend and lets visitors reconnect with nature in a way that would make Ray Mears proud.
Weekend courses start from £355. www.cidal.com.tw
Buns of joy
Ignore Taiwan’s weird café craze, which includes restaurants such as Modern Toilet (complete with lavatory inspired dishware), and head over to BAO London instead, a street-food stall that has put Taiwanese food firmly on the capital’s gastronomic map. Run by three Taiwanese – Shing, Ting and Er – the stall can be found in London’s Netil Market on Westgate Street, and pops up occasionally at Kerb King’s Cross or Dalston’s Abbot Street car park. BAO’s signature small eats include soya milk fried chicken and gua bao (steamed bun with pork belly, peanut powder, homemade pickle and coriander). BAO’s fluffy steamed buns have also earned it lots of accolades, including
winner of the street food category at The Young British Foodie (YBFs) 2013 awards.
BAO is running a small street-food tour to Taiwan next March, from £645 (flights extra). www.baolondon.com
Outlying islands
The remote, outlying islands of Taiwan are a great way to get off the beaten track via rainforests, sandy beaches, tribal villages and even Cold War forts. Green Island, off the eastern coast, is accessible all year round and is home to Chaojih, one of only three seawater hot springs in the world where temperatures range from a balmy 53C-83C. The best way to explore the island is to set off on the Kuoshan Ku Tao trail. For a historical day tour with a difference, visit Green Island’s Human Rights Cultural Park (www.eastcoast-nsa.gov.tw), which tells the story of when the island was home to a notorious prison camp.
See http://eng.taiwan.net.tw for more information on visiting the outlying islands and elsewhere in Taiwan.
