Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Zhongxing New Village à Puli

Kick off your ride at Zhongxing New Village, a relaxed government-planned community in Nantou that's known for its spacious layout and tree-lined boulevards. From there, get ready for a scenic—and seriously hilly—adventure through the lush heart of central Taiwan on your way to Puli.

The route spans a little over 51 km, winding its way through access roads and quiet byways, with only brief stints on busier routes. You’ll rack up over 2,000 meters of climbing, so pace yourself—those legs will feel it! Along the way, soak in mountain vistas, rolling tea fields, and maybe even grab a snack at a roadside stall.

The descent toward Puli is a great reward, rolling you down into a friendly township famous for its clear water and paper-making heritage. Puli is also the gateway to Sun Moon Lake and surrounded by beautiful peaks—so you’ll finish with lots of options for further exploration or just a well-deserved meal.

Heads up: Most of the data on the surface is missing, but for the bits we know, it's mostly paved. Still, expect some surprises! Enjoy the ride and bring your climbing legs!
