Cycling day trip from Fengyuan to Miaoli

This ride takes you from Fengyuan, a district in Taichung known for its lively Miaodong Night Market and rich Hakka culture, all the way north to Miaoli—a charming city nestled at the foothills, famous for its serene landscapes and traditional Hakka cuisine.

The route covers about 76 kilometers, with a fair bit of climbing—over 700 meters of ascent—so get ready for some rolling hills and scenic countryside. You'll spend most of your time on quiet roads and access roads, making for a relaxing journey away from busy traffic. A handful of kilometers are on dedicated cycleways, which is always a treat, and the road surfaces are mostly smooth though some stretches may be a little patchy.

Along the way, you’ll pass through lush farmlands and gently rolling terrain, with chances to enjoy picturesque mountain views. When you reach Miaoli, take time to explore its laid-back vibe, local delicacies, and perhaps the Hakka Round House or nearby hot springs. It’s a rewarding trip—perfect for cyclists who enjoy a mix of challenge and tranquility!
