Excursión ciclista de un día de Daxi a Banqiao

Kick off your ride in Daxi, a charming old town in Taoyuan known for its century-old street lined with baroque-style architecture and famous tofu. From here, you'll wind your way north toward Banqiao District, the bustling heart of New Taipei City.

This 44 km route is friendly to cyclists, with most of the journey hugging cycleways and quiet roads—meaning you can enjoy the changing scenery without worrying about heavy traffic. Expect some gentle hills along the way (an overall ascent of around 160 meters), though you'll mostly be coasting downwards, so it's not too demanding.

You'll pass by a mix of rural views and urban neighborhoods as you get closer to Banqiao, a major transport hub and a spot to sample local food or explore mega-malls. The majority of surfaces are paved, making this ride pretty smooth, even if around three-quarters of the surface types aren’t explicitly mapped. Perfect for those wanting a little adventure from historic Daxi to the lively city.
