Biking Activity and Visit Naluwan Aboriginal
By: Denni Kurniawan

Biking is quite fun activities, especially on weekends. Many people do this activity in Taiwan, and it’s quite different compare to our hometown in Indonesia. On 16th April 2011, we get change to do biking activity to explore around Nanliau. This activity fully support by BCUA, a partner local NGO in Taiwan. We arrive in Nanliau around 9.20 and then we rent bicycle in a rent shop. The price for one bicycle is around NT$100, but because we rent more than 10 bicycle, we just paid NT$80/bicycle.

The trip started from 9.45, and we just follow the bicycle route which is very clear and easy to follow. On the trip, we saw a big building which is a landfill for Hsinchu. Maybe you couldn’t imagine such a place for landfill, because in Indonesia most of the landfill just open and we think unmanaged and organize well.

We also visit Naluwan aboriginal community in Nanlaou. Slightly the people don’t look like Chinese people, because their skin a little bit looks like people in Indonesia or Indian. And what more make us surprise is when the count from 1 to 10, the counting just similar with language Gayo language in Aceh, Indonesia. So, we think maybe there is a relationship between Naluwan people and the Gayo people in Aceh, Indonesia. After all activities, we went back to Hsinchu downtown by bus around 5 pm. The trips make us get more knowledge about Taiwan and also we have fun and healty.
