Neil continues his cycling journey to Taroko National Park along the majestic coasts of eastern Taiwan. Here, on the edge of the legendary Ring of Fire, nature’s power is never far away. The road winds high above the deep blue Pacific and the bike balances on the brink of the abyss. The travelers bear witnesses to the scars of the chi-chi earthquake and the people’s enduring resilience to rebuild in the wake of the tragedy on September 21, 1999. The Indigenous Ciwi people later teach hm to catch shrimp and prepare them over an open fire; before everyone visits a seaside café where the coffee is served with live snakes.
