Excursión ciclista de un día de Banqiao a Keelung

Ready for an adventure from the heart of New Taipei to the breezy northeastern coast? Kick off in Banqiao District, a bustling urban hub packed with great eats, lively markets, and easy metro access. From there, you’ll roll northeast, leaving the city buzz behind as you pedal mostly on dedicated cycleways and quiet roads—perfect for a relaxed, scenic ride.

The route is about 67 km, with just enough hills (around 450 meters up and down) to get your heart pumping, but nothing too tough—the highest point is just over 100 meters. Expect a mix of surfaces; while nearly half the ride is smooth asphalt or paved, you're in for a bit of “mystery terrain” where the surface could vary, so wider tires are a plus.

Your destination? Keelung, famous for its vibrant night market and bustling port. Once you arrive, reward yourself with the legendary street food and enjoy the fresh sea breeze. It’s a satisfying day out, mixing city energy with river views, forest edges, and Taiwan’s unique urban-to-coast vibe.
