Gita in bici di un giorno da Taoyuan a Banqiao

This scenic cycling route connects Taoyuan District to Banqiao District, covering around 43 kilometers. Starting in Taoyuan, a vibrant area known for its international airport and lush parks, you’ll set out on a path that’s mostly flat with gentle ups and downs (expect a total ascent of about 176 meters).

The ride is very cyclist-friendly, with about two-thirds on dedicated cycleways, giving you plenty of time to relax and enjoy the journey without much traffic. The route includes several quiet roads, winding alongside rivers and through suburban neighborhoods, so it’s a great way to see the local side of both districts.

You’ll finish up in Banqiao, the lively downtown of New Taipei City, home to bustling night markets, parks, and plenty of spots to grab some post-ride snacks. With most of the ride on good, paved paths and minimal busy road sections, this is a comfortable option for both newer cyclists and those looking for a laid-back long ride.
