Where to stay

Stage towns, and the questions that matter to a cyclist.

We don't list hotels yet. A bed is only useful to a cyclist if it takes bikes, and we haven't verified that with any property. Here is how to choose, and where the official itineraries stop.

Stage towns

The official 9-day and 9+2 day itineraries stop overnight in or near: Hsinchu; Lukang (9-day trip) or Taichung and Douliu (9+2 day trip); Tainan; Donggang; Eluanbi; Taitung; Yuli; Su'ao (9-day trip); and back to Taipei. → Day by day

For the bigger stage towns, city guides explain the areas: Hsinchu City or Zhubei for a night, Taichung's areas to stay, by transit and which part of Tainan to sleep in. Ask any hotel about bike storage before you book.

Bike-friendly stays (official mark)

The Tourism Administration runs a bike-friendly accommodation mark. Its official lodging site, Taiwan Stay, lets you filter for properties with the mark. On 4 November 2026 the filter returned 4,897 properties across Taiwan. Each listing shows the mark and its legal registration number.

The official explanation of the mark says every bike-friendly property can give guests space to park bicycles and space to clean and repair them. No further criteria (such as tools, pumps or laundry) were found on an official page. About the mark

Before you bookThe mark tells you a property has bike parking and a cleaning/repair space. Ask the property directly about indoor storage, tools and early breakfast before you book.

What to ask before you book

  • Where will the bike sleep? Indoors and locked is best: a storage room, a garage or your room. Ask before you pay, and get the answer in writing.
  • Late arrival. A puncture or a headwind can make you late. Check the latest check-in time and whether someone is there.
  • Breakfast time. Riders often want to leave early, before the heat.
  • Laundry for riding clothes, and somewhere to rinse the bike after rain.
  • Distance from the route. A bed 5 km off the route is 10 km more riding.
  • Cancellation terms. Weather changes plans: flexible bookings are worth paying for, especially in typhoon season and on the east coast.
  • Holidays. Book well ahead for long weekends and Lunar New Year, when rooms and trains fill up.

Supported toursOn a supported tour the operator books the beds. Rooms in a tour package aren't necessarily bookable on your own. → Guided tours
