This route (which we have decided not to do again for a few years) is made unique by the amount of bicycle carrying involved, 4 hours of it! The 50 km loop starts at Manjhou, in the middle of the Kenting peninsula, a pleasant 6 km crossing of a ridge bring you down to the coast just north of Jialeshuei. This, Jaileshuei to Jioupeng, part of Taiwan's coastline is the only section that does not have a road (public or otherwise) running along it - long may it stay that way. Heading northwards, after some fun single track, the carrying begins.
The scenery is spectacular and fairly untouched - well except for the remains of a ship that came aground a few years ago. Northern sections unfortunately sometimes have a bit too much washed up trash. The last few rocky kilometers before arriving at Nanren village are ride-able, more tolerable with the rear suspension you've had digging into your shoulder for so long! From Jioupeng follow the public highway back to Manjhou.
Warning note: This can be very arduous on the shoulders/ankles/body in general/brain/bicycle - with no easy escape routes.
