Wuling Pass

At 3,275 meters, Wuling Pass is the highest paved road in Taiwan and a rite of passage for cyclists. With an average gradient of 8%, the 87-kilometer climb from Hualien demands 3,800 meters of elevation gain. This route outperforms #6 Shifen–Pingxi Rail Trail in both difficulty and altitude, offering unmatched summit views at the crown of the island.
