059 Cycle Touring Taiwan

(Leana) #1

(^22) Jiaoshi – Suao - 40km

After departing, my first stop was at the National Centre of Traditional Arts. The
centre occupied a massive 24-hectare site and was well-known for its folk art.
Unfortunately, the complex was disappointing, and I believed my incredibly talented
mother’s garden was more unique.
Being New Year’s Eve, I didn’t feel like camping all by my lonesome self. The quaint
settlement of Suao was a good place to spend New Year’s Eve. Not a significant
amount happened in Taiwan where people celebrate Chinese New Year instead of the
Gregorian New Year. There were, nevertheless, a few fireworks to mark the start of
the new calendar year.
