Excursión ciclista de un día de Taichung a Zhongxing New Village

Set off from the bustling heart of Taichung and wind your way south to Zhongxing New Village—a unique new town built in the 1950s as the administrative center of Taiwan Province. This ride is about 29 km, so it’s perfect for a leisurely morning or afternoon outing.

You'll mostly stick to quiet roads, with a stretch of dedicated cycleways to keep things relaxed and scenic. Though the route involves some gentle climbing (about 125 meters of ascent), nothing here is too taxing—the journey’s suitable for casual riders looking to explore outside the city.

As you pedal away from Taichung’s urban bustle, the landscape shifts to greener outskirts and, eventually, the tree-lined, orderly layout of Zhongxing New Village. While a good chunk of the route may feature mixed and sometimes unpaved surfaces, most is paved—so a hybrid or road bike will do well.

At journey’s end, take some time to explore the laid-back charm of Zhongxing, known for its historical buildings and park-like avenues. Perfect for catching your breath before the ride back!
