Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Chang-hua à Taichung

This mellow cycling route takes you from Changhua to the heart of Taichung—a perfect ride if you're looking to leave the small city vibe for some urban excitement. Starting out in Changhua, known for the iconic Great Buddha statue at Baguashan, you'll follow mainly quiet roads and access routes, with a little bit of officially marked cycleway for peace of mind. The distance is just over 24 km, so it's ideal if you’re after a relaxed half-day pedal rather than an epic trek.

Most of the route is paved or asphalt, but do be ready for some sections where the surface isn't as well defined—it’s all part of the adventure. The ascent is gentle, so you won’t be gasping, and you’ll get to enjoy a few rolling views, maxing out at around 95 meters elevation.

Arriving in Taichung, you'll have a whole city of attractions at your feet—think art museums, coffee shops, and the delicious Fengjia Night Market. Whether you’re commuting or exploring, this ride combines easygoing roads with a great change of scenery. Don’t forget to stop for snacks along the way!
