First, from Taipei to Chiayi, in Chiayi look at the Coral Lake, go Kaohsiung, Hengchun. I want to try to run up the road from Dawu(大武) to Taito, continue running from the Taitung to Hualien coastline, go up from Hualien to Taroko, further up from Tensho ... Then come down and run through the Shimizu cliff and go around from Suao to Keelung and Taipei.
There were plenty of amazing scenery.

When the best season for traveling to Taiwan?
I think it is October or November.
Not hot and not cold, the typhoon season ended and no wind.
So I decided to go on November 1st.

I write about the map.
When I got lost, I have no time to spread the map in its place, the map will increase my luggage and the paper map will take time to identify where I am. So I will use GPS.
I made red lines on the daily route.The route was set so that I could reach the front door of the hotel.

How much it cost ...
Tickets round trip 18,700 yen
Food expenses, domestic transportation expenses, SIM purchase, hotel etc. 80,000 yen
Total about 100,000 yen
