Today's highlight was the very tough climb from Rueibin to Jiufun,another very popular spot for the local as well as the oversea tourists,while we were hard cranking up, there were many tour and local buses sharing the same road with us too.There were many temples,old streets and off course,many hotels to cater for the tourists.Our 2 recumbents with our full loaded panniers caught many attentions with unbelievable looks.We could hear words of "jia yu...jia yu" which we happily acknowledged with a smile. We continued to push on after Jiufun with further climbs,where we met many cyclists on both ends,seems to be very popular training roads for the locals cyclists like our back home Genting Sempah or Ulu langat rides.At the top of the hill,there is a resting place where most of the cyclists gathered and rest before the great downhill to another town where we ordered a big bowl of beef noodle soup as our lunch and drink in 7-11. After 2 days of camping,we agree to stay in a budget hotel in Fulung,the room cost NTD 1200 with a double and a single bed, we took a walk around the town comes with a beautiful beach.
