Bikepacking de Chang-hua à Tainan

Ready for a long but rewarding ride? This route takes you from Chang-hua, a vibrant city known for its historic Bagua Mountain Great Buddha and the cool old-school vibes of its night markets, all the way down to Tainan City—Taiwan’s oldest city and a street-food heaven bursting with history and temples.

You’ll cruise south for about 179 km, mostly along peaceful roads and dedicated cycleways, so expect a mellow ride with only short stints on busier roads. The route is generally flat, with modest elevation gains and losses, making it a great choice for a steady day (or two!) in the saddle.

As you roll into Tainan, reward yourself with a bowl of local beef soup or try the famous danzai noodles. With almost the whole journey on paved roads, your trusty bike will roll smoothly all the way. This route is perfect for cyclists who enjoy a mix of culture, smooth pedaling, and just escaping into the heart of southern Taiwan.
