GuGuan to Puli, Auwanda Back road,Over He Huan Shan to Wuling and Yilan

Thanks to an excellent logistic system of scooter and motorcycle transport from anywhere to anywhere in Taiwan, I managed to get quite a distance covered on a 3 day break starting Taichung. This scooter/motorbike delivery system enables a rider to travel one way amd take the train or bus back and the bike will arrive at the nearest scooter shop back home a day or so ,ater. I travelled from Taichung harbor area to Guguan and then the 21 route to Puli, camped for the night above Puli where the paragliding takes place, NT300 for a camp spot per person, and took off the next morning riding the 71 & 83 up to Auwanda reservoir below/before Qing jing farm area and then over Hehuan Shan to Wuling.
Tucked away in the hills on the back road to Auwanda a beautiful aboriginal village

Camping above Puli at the paragliding launch area
You can join for a tandem flight 

A nice ol Taiwan guy asked me to sit on his bike for a pic
I travel on an old SYM Wolf 125cc, takes me everywhere with a small duffel bag strapped to the back.



Wuling Farm is a great place to camp or rent a small hut/bungallow for the night, just watch the monkeys! Macaques, they will steal and grab anything they can lay their hands on.
