ROAD BIKING AROUND THE LINE
Ershui and Jiji have short cycling paths but the rural roads all over this area are
great for longer rides:
Ershui to Jiji on County Rd 152 (20km)
Jiji to Shuili on Township Rd 27 (7km)
Jiji to Changhua on County Rd 139 (50km)
Shuili to Sun Moon Lake on County Rd 132 (22km)
Sleeping & Eating
Jiji is a pleasant alternative to base yourself in if you find accomodation in Sun Moon
Lake too expensive and the Sitou area too remote. You'll find places to eat both around
the train station and at various stops along the bike routes. There's a night market on
Tuesday and Saturday.
