This cycling route takes you from the historic charm of Tainan City, Taiwan's oldest city known for its temples and street food, down to the lively streets of Pingtung City. Covering just under 90 km, it’s a great day out for intermediate cyclists looking for a mix of urban sights and rural scenery.

You'll mostly cruise along quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, so it's ideal if you want to avoid heavy traffic. Most of the route is on smooth pavement or asphalt, making for a comfortable ride. Expect only gentle climbs as the total ascent is less than 400 meters—no mountains to conquer here!
