Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Pingtung à Hengchun

This cycling route takes you from vibrant Pingtung City down to the laid-back town of Hengchun at Taiwan’s southern tip—a fantastic ride for anyone looking to see a dramatic change in scenery! Starting out in Pingtung, a hub of local culture and great food, you’ll head south through the lush and rural landscapes of Pingtung County. With just over 117 km to cover, expect a generous amount of climbing—around 1,376 meters—making this ride a good challenge for those who like rolling terrain.

Much of your route follows quiet roads and access lanes, so there’s plenty of space to enjoy the views. Soon enough, the city vibes give way to breezy farmlands and gentle foothills, before you cruise into the Hengchun Peninsula, surrounded by ocean on three sides. Once you reach Hengchun, you’ll be at the gateway to Kenting National Park, famous for its beaches, coral reefs, and chill vibes.

Make sure to stop at a roadside snack stand, enjoy the scenery, and pack some sun protection—the southern sun gets strong!
