Gita in bici di un giorno da Banqiao a Taoyuan City

This cycling route takes you from Banqiao District, one of New Taipei City’s bustling urban hubs, all the way southwest to Taoyuan, a city famous for its international airport and historical temples. Covering just over 38 km, the ride is mostly on cycleways and quiet roads, making it a pretty relaxed journey—even if you’re not a cycling pro.

You’ll start among Banqiao’s lively streets, passing modern shopping areas and local eats, and then head out of the city as things get quieter and greener. There’s a gentle ascent (about 235 meters total) so expect a few mild hills, but nothing too daunting. Most of the path is paved or asphalt, so you won’t have to worry about rough terrain.

The destination, Taoyuan, is a great spot to wind down—grab some street food or visit one of the local parks when you arrive. It’s a solid ride for a day out, ideal for those who want a change of city scenery and some fresh air along the way.
