Cycling day trip from Banqiao District to Taoyuan City

Starting your cycling adventure in Banqiao District, you'll set off from one of the bustling hubs of New Taipei City, known for its vibrant night market scene and local cultural spots like the iconic Lin Family Mansion and Gardens. As you make your way, you'll cover a neat 38.4 kilometers to Taoyuan City.

This route is mostly a relaxing meander, with over half of your journey on dedicated cycleways, perfect for soaking in the scenery without the stress of busy roads. You'll pedal along quiet roads lined with glimpses of Taiwan's unique blend of urban and natural landscapes. There's a bit of an uphill challenge, with a maximum elevation hitting around 122 meters, but nothing too strenuous with only 234.5 meters of ascent spread throughout.

With around 77% of the surface listed as missing (gotta love the mystery), but the parts where you’re sure of your footing are mostly asphalt and paved, making for a smooth ride where it counts. As you roll into Taoyuan City, you'll find yourself in a region known for its diverse culture, from tech innovation to delicious street food, giving your journey a fitting and interesting end. Enjoy the ride!
