We will start at the Nangang TRA Station. Do not go to the high speed train as that will not go to Fulong. Try to take the 4152 Train at 8:01. Do not be late! This is a "local train" so it has several extra stops but is still fast. You can use your easy card to pay for the whole trip. Arrive approximately 9:20 at Fulong. Try to meet up near the gates to go to train, or on the platform.

1. If you miss the 4152 Train, take the next 4022 Train at 8:40. You will be able to catch up as we will be renting bicycles nearby for a while certainly. Arrive at approximately 9:40 at Fulong.

Cost: 60-120 for train each way, easy card is best way.

Note: I WILL NOT BE ON THE TRAIN. I will be driving a car there and will meet everyone in Fulong. You can lock any items you want to leave during the bike ride or beach in my car to keep safe or just avoid carrying them.

The Old Caoling Tunnel is a great and fun activity. You rent a bicycle, or electric bicycle and ride through the tunnel. After the tunnel, we will ride around the coast road to return to Fulong. There are great ocean views, and it is a lot of fun. 2 hours or so.

Cost: 200-600 depending on what bike/electric bike you rent and if you share. They have double bikes, and also shared electric carts that seat multiple people.

After the biking and lunch, we will go to the beach and enjoy the sand sculptures, swimming, playing in the sand, and any games if people bring balls, throwing discs or other things to enjoy. Bring beach items if you like, and your swim suit/towel/sunblock/etc. You can leave them in the car while we are biking. There is also paddle boarding nearby in the river, and other activities. Chairs and umbrella can also be rented. There is nice shower area for changing and washing off sand available. Be done at 15:00-16:00 or so.

Cost: 100-200 for nice beach area entrance, renting chairs/umbrellas will add extra.

After the beach, you can easily return to Taipei on any train that stops in Fulong station. Or continue your adventure camping. You do not need any equipment to participate - can rent there.
