The Lanyang River Cycling Path can be divided into two routes: the North Bank and the South Bank. The North Bank route starts from Lanyang Bridge and extends eastward to the mouth of the Lanyang River, covering approximately 6.5 kilometers. The South Bank route also begins at Lanyang Bridge and stretches east to the Qingshui Sluice Gate, with a total length of about 8 kilometers. Cycling along the Lanyang River Cycling Path allows access to multiple biking routes and offers the chance to enjoy the unique river landscape of the Lanyang River or birdwatch at the Lanyang River Estuary Bird Sanctuary. Along the way, you will pass by various attractions such as the Erjie Wang Gong Temple, Lanyang Bridge, Qingshui Sluice Gate, leisure agricultural areas, and the estuary of the Lanyang River. Not only can you sample high-quality whiskey produced in Yilan and famous fresh fruits like Hami melons and golden tomatoes, but you can also appreciate the local culture, history, and beautiful rural scenery of Yilan. On clear days, you can even gaze at the hazy Guishan Island from the estuary. This experience is more than just cycling for fitness; you can also participate in various rural experience activities, making it a fulfilling cycling trip.
