I'm currently walking (mostly) around Taiwan. When telling locals this, which of the many words for "walk" is the best to use? I'm currently walking around Taiwan. Well mostly I'm walking, but I'm also interspersing some hitchhiking.

EDIT: By "walking around" I don't mean "here and there", I mean literally "around" the whole island, mostly following 環島1號線, but sometimes on other highways or smaller roads.



When telling locals in Chinese what I'm doing, which word for "walk" is the best to use?

Here are some of the words for "to walk" in Mandarin that I've come across so far:


步行 (bùxíng)
健行 (jiànxíng)
散步 (sànbù)
徒步旅行 (túbù lǚxíng)
遠足 / 远足‎(yuǎnzú)
走 (zǒu)
行走 (xíngzǒu)
走路 (zǒulù)


If the preferred word varies by region, I'd want the one most appropriate in Taiwan. But just in Mandarin since I haven't learned any Taiwanese.
"徒步環島" or "環島步行" is most appropriate for "walking around taiwan". 

"環島" is around the island.

great activity, how many days you need? and where're you now?

have fun :)
