Quick ride by bicycle from Zhongxing New Village to Nantou City

Get ready for a gentle yet scenic ride as you head from the leafy heart of Zhongxing New Village down to Nantou City! This route is just over 13 km—perfect for a relaxed morning spin or a breezy afternoon ride. Starting from Zhongxing New Village, Taiwan’s unique ‘garden city’ built in the 1950s as the seat of the provincial government, you’ll pedal through peaceful neighborhoods and enjoy the village’s famous tree-lined boulevards.

Most of the way is on quiet roads, so it’s both safe and pleasant, with just enough uphill (about 157 meters in total) to get your legs working before you cruise into downtown Nantou. While there’s a little bit of everything surface-wise, most riders will appreciate the paved and occasionally asphalt sections.

Arriving in Nantou City—the county seat—you’ll find plenty of local food, culture, and maybe a bubble tea to reward yourself. It’s a great short trip combining charm, history, and the pastoral vibe of central Taiwan!
