Fulong
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Fulong; 4–6 h covers beach, bike tunnel and a quick bite.
Fulong is a small coastal village in New Taipei with a popular beach, a bike‑rental shop, the Ling Jiou Mountain monastery and the old Caoling Railway Tunnel. The train station sits within a few minutes' walk of the beach, so a single day is enough for most visitors.

Rules in force · 5
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- Taiwan ↗Check visa-exemption length, passport validity and the online arrival card (TWAC) on the official sites before you fly.
- Taiwan ↗An EasyCard (or iPASS) covers MRT, buses, local trains and many convenience-store purchases; buy one at the airport or a station.
- Taiwan ↗When a local government declares a typhoon day, transport and sights can close for the day; follow the official notice, not the forecast alone.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
