Cycling day trip from Tainan City to Chiayi City

Kick off your cycling adventure from the charming, food-loving Tainan City, known for its irresistible night markets and historic temples. As you pedal your way out of the city, you'll mostly be rolling along well-maintained cycleways that make up more than half of this route—perfect for a relaxed ride!

This scenic 82 km journey leisurely takes you north towards Chiayi City. Though the route surface data is a bit incomplete, expect to cruise mainly on smooth asphalt and the occasional concrete path. You'll tackle a few gentle ascents, with the highest point being just under 58 meters, so even those rusty quads will handle it like a champ.

Along the way, enjoy the tranquility of quiet roads, making up 17% of your ride, interspersed with some access roads. As you approach Chiayi City, home to the lovely Alishan Forest Railway, the buzz and warmth of this spirited locale will welcome you with open arms. Whether you hang out at the lively night markets or delve into the local culture, this ride is as rewarding at the end as it is throughout!
