Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Banqiao à Hsinchu

This cycling route takes you from the bustling Banqiao District in New Taipei—one of Taiwan’s busiest urban hubs—all the way to Hsinchu, a lively city famous for its tech industry and wind-swept coastal charm. Covering just over 87 km, the ride offers a mix of urban scenery and quieter stretches, mostly along tranquil roads and cycleways (bring your camera for some great city-meets-nature shots!). Expect some gentle hills to keep things interesting, with just over 760 meters of ascent, but nothing too intimidating.

A big chunk of your route is on dedicated cycleways and quiet streets, so it’s great for unwinding and enjoying the journey. Banqiao is a great place to fuel up with some local breakfast before you roll out, and once you reach Hsinchu, treat yourself to their famous rice noodles or wind-blown sweets! Perfect for a scenic day out or sporty weekend adventure.
