By scooter, it’s going to take you a solid 4.5-6 hours to get from Taitung to Kenting on this route, while route #1 should only take about three hours in total.

A small detour off just before the point where highways 9 and 11 meet will bring you to Zhiben Hot Spring and National Forest Recreation Area. Highway 11 end when it rejoins with Highway 9 just south of Taitung City. We spent about 6 hours scootering this route from Hualien to Guanshan in Taitung, with few stops, to give you a general idea.

Check the direction of wind before you decide whether to cycle southward or northward. There are plenty of service points along the way so not to worry.
Near the entrance to lover's cave is a tunnel that goes through the mountain. I first thought it could have been an ROC air raid shelter, but acutally was an early road connecting the villages. Many passerby's think that it is "Lover's Cave," so it has been also named "Fake Lover's Cave." When the ROC first occupied Taiwan they also sent soldiers to Lanyu. The soldiers were sometimes rude and bullied the locals who could not speak Mandarin and still practiced their native culture.

Just after Highway 11 reaches the coast, you’ll reach Farglory Ocean Park, the largest of Taiwan’s theme parks that has a marine focus.

A second option for getting from Taitung to Kenting is the slow route that mostly sticks to the east coast. You’ll pass very few settlements, and see almost no people, but the road itself is very smooth the whole way, making for gorgeous riding. Note that this route will take you into Kenting National park from the east side, while route #1 will take you in from the west side.

There are also two souvenir shops where you can buy hats, fans, umbrellas and more with Huang’s artwork. While the village is free to visit, they supposedly accept donations.
