Cycling day trip from Banqiao District to Keelung

Set out on a scenic cycling adventure from the bustling urban heart of Banqiao District, known for its vibrant street markets and the serene Lin Family Mansion and Garden. Your destination is the coastal port city of Keelung, where you can take in beautiful harbor views and explore a wealth of delicious seafood at the Miaokou Night Market.

The ride stretches over 67 kilometers of mostly cycleway routes, allowing you to pedal freely without much interaction with busy roads. About 38% of your journey will be on smooth asphalt, which should make your ride comfortable and enjoyable.

The route has a gentle ascent of around 452 meters and a descent nearly matching that at 449 meters, with the highest point at just over 109 meters. So, no steep climbs to worry about – just a pleasant, undulating ride through some of northern Taiwan's lovely landscapes.

As you cycle, soak in the changing scenery, from urban cityscapes to tranquil paths and quiet roads. With over half of the route's surface type unspecified, expect a surprise or two along the way! Finally, reward your efforts with Keelung's captivating seascape and bustling docks. Happy cycling!
