Gita in bici di un giorno da Zhubei a Taipei

Get ready for an epic ride from Zhubei all the way up to the vibrant heart of Taipei! Starting out in Zhubei—a young, rapidly growing city in Hsinchu County known for its tech industry and chill riverside parks—you’ll roll northeast for around 107 km. Most of your route sticks to cycleways and quiet roads (a big win for a relaxing journey), with only a small chunk on busy roads.

You’ll get a decent workout, climbing nearly 952 meters with the highest point topping out at 387 meters. The scenery keeps things interesting, shifting from Zhubei’s modern buildings through green stretches and small towns, eventually blending into Taipei’s urban buzz.

Surface quality is mostly paved or asphalt, but do be ready for a few mystery sections where the surface might be unpaved—so a versatile bike is a good pick. Once in Taipei, reward yourself with some legendary street food or a stroll along the Tamsui River.

Definitely bring some water and snacks, pace yourself, and enjoy the transition from Zhubei’s tech hubs to Taipei’s energy-packed streets!
