En bici de Taipéi a Banqiao

This cycling route takes you from the vibrant heart of Taipei to the bustling Banqiao District. Setting off from central Taipei, you’ll quickly escape the city frenzy as you glide along a mix of quiet roads and dedicated cycleways—about two-thirds of your ride will be pretty peaceful, perfect for casual cruising.

Most of your 13.8 km journey is on paved or asphalt surfaces (no need to worry about bumpy gravel), and there’s only a gentle climb, so your legs won’t hate you at the finish. Expect a mix of city neighborhoods, leafy riverside views along the Tamsui River, and possibly some local markets as you head southwest.

Banqiao, your endpoint, is New Taipei’s administrative hub and known for its lively shopping districts and parks—great for a post-ride snack or stroll. All in all, this route gives you a refreshing city-to-suburb experience, getting you from Taipei’s urban core to the quieter side of the river in just about an hour and a half on two wheels. Enjoy the ride!
