Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Chiayi City à Tainan

This ride takes you from the heart of Chiayi City—famous for its lively night markets and as a gateway to the scenic Alishan mountains—to the cultural gem of Tainan, Taiwan’s oldest city, packed with temples, heritage sites, and legendary street food.

The route is just over 81 km, so it’s a nice day trip or a long morning ride. You’ll gain and lose a few hundred meters in elevation, but nothing too steep, with a high point just under 100 meters. Most of the way you’ll be cruising on cycleways or quiet access roads, making it relaxed and safe for most riders. Around 87% of the surface type isn’t specified, but much of it is paved, with a bit of asphalt and some sections of concrete and paving stones.

Enjoy open countryside, pass through small villages, and finish in the bustling city streets of Tainan—be sure to visit the Confucius Temple or snack your way through the historic Shennong Street! Perfect for those who want a scenic slice of rural Taiwan with an exciting urban finish.
