Cycling day trip from Pizitou to Tainan City

Kick off your ride in Pizitou, a peaceful spot in Chiayi County known for its rural vibes and lush green fields. From here, the route stretches south for about 82 km, rolling gently towards the historic heart of Tainan City. Most of your journey takes you along cycleways and quiet access roads, letting you really soak in the local scenery—think rice paddies, small villages, and the occasional heron standing in a field.

With just under 280 meters of elevation gain, it’s a pretty friendly route for most riders. Expect mostly paved paths with some surprise surfaces here and there—great for a bit of variety under your wheels! As you spin into Tainan, treat yourself to some famous local eats (like the irresistible danzai noodles or mango shaved ice).

Tainan is Taiwan’s oldest city, famous for its temples, old streets, and vibrant night markets. It's the perfect end point to park your bike, stretch your legs, and explore the history-packed alleys. This ride mixes the best of Taiwan’s countryside with the rich culture of its southern cities—a real treat for the curious cyclist!
