Cycling day trip from Banqiao District to Taoyuan District

Hey there, cycling enthusiasts! If you're looking to explore some of Taiwan's vibrant urban landscapes, we’ve got a nice ride lined up for you. Begin your journey in Banqiao District, a bustling hub known for its modern skyline and cultural hotspots, like the Banqiao 435 Art Zone and Lin Family Mansion and Garden.

Your route to Taoyuan District spans a mellow 36.5 kilometers, making it an enjoyable ride without overly demanding on the legs. You'll climb a modest ascent of 222 meters, with the highest point at just 122 meters elevation – so it’s pretty friendly terrain-wise.

Mostly on cycleways (58%) and quiet roads (30%), you can enjoy the ride without the stress of busy traffic – perfect for a leisurely day out. The surfaces are varied, but you’ll be gliding along asphalt for a chunk of it. As you pedal towards Taoyuan, the landscape shifts gradually from urban to more suburban vibes, marking an intriguing transition.

End your ride with a peek at Taoyuan’s local charms – maybe a visit to the serene Taoyuan Martyrs' Shrine or a reward-yourself session at one of the district's delicious eateries. Enjoy the cruise!
