Fulong tourism sector promotes SUP and rock climbing

Besides a golden sand beach, a popular bikeway, and a sand sculpting festival, what else does Fulong Village’s tourism sector have to offer?

Stand up paddling (SUP) and rock climbing are being promoted to inject new energy into Fulong, which is a coastal village located in Gongliao District, New Taipei City in Northeastern Taiwan.

Fulong boasts the Fulong Beach, the 20km Old Caoling Trail Circle-Line Bikeway that passes through old fishing villages along the northeastern coast and the Old Caoling Tunnel, as well as inexpensive Fulong lunch boxes.

As it is located at the outlet of the Shuang River, Fulong is also an ideal place for water activities, including surfing, windsurfing, kayaking and SUP.

In addition, the Longdong Rock Climbing Yard, which is only 15 minutes’ drive away from Fulong, is a natural rock climbing area with much of its natural landscape being relatively well-preserved. The spectacular scenery around the almost perpendicular rocks is said to be so distracting that it poses extra challenges to climbers.

The Fulong Sand Sculpting Art Festival, which opens on May 7, is sure to bring more beachgoers to town.
