Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Banqiao do Miaoli

Get ready for an awesome ride! You’ll start off in Banqiao, a bustling district in New Taipei City known for its lively night markets, beautiful parks, and easy connections to downtown Taipei. From there, you’ll make your way southwest for about 136 km all the way to Miaoli, a charming town famous for its Hakka culture, delicious strawberries, and scenic hilly landscapes.

The route is cyclist-friendly, with nearly half the distance on designated cycleways and plenty of quiet roads to soak up Taiwan’s countryside vibe. There’s some climbing involved—about 1,000 meters of ascent—and a maximum elevation just under 400 m, so expect some rolling hills, especially as you get closer to Miaoli. Most of the ride is on paved surfaces, but there are some sections where you might encounter unlisted or mixed terrain, so be prepared for the occasional bumpy patch.

As you roll into Miaoli, treat yourself to Hakka snacks or a local tea, and enjoy the laid-back pace that this part of Taiwan is known for. It’s a satisfying long ride, perfect for adventurous cyclists eager to see Taiwan beyond the city limits!
