Cycling day trip from Xinying District to Kaohsiung City

Ready for a long ride? This cycling route takes you from Xinying District—known for its mix of rural charm and the famous Nanying Green Heart Park—down south all the way to the bustling heart of Kaohsiung City. You'll cover just over 127 km, which is a solid day’s effort, but thanks to the mostly flat terrain (with only about 480 meters of climb), it’s manageable for anyone with a bit of experience.

The route steers you along a nice mix of dedicated cycleways (about 44%) and quiet roads, with most sections being paved or asphalt. That means you can enjoy the scenery without dodging heavy traffic or rough surfaces, perfect for soaking in the Taiwanese countryside.

As you roll into Kaohsiung, you’ll be greeted by its vibrant urban energy, street food, and parks beside the Love River. Whether you end your journey with a snack at Liuhe Night Market or a stroll at the pier, it’s a ride worth every pedal stroke!
