Daxi Yuemei to Longtan Siheng Riverside Scenic Green Corridor Introduction
Have you tried the "One Day Twin Old Streets" experience? Starting from Daxi Bridge and heading towards Longtan Sankeng, you can enjoy the relaxing riverside scenery, historical century-old monuments, rich natural ecology, local specialty snacks, and the slow-paced lifestyle that has remained unchanged for decades, all in one go. Whether you are a local or a visitor, you will be delighted! The Daxi Yuemei to Longtan Sankeng riverside sightseeing green corridor stretches approximately 7,190 meters, connecting the Daxi Old Street Riverside Path, Yuemei Bicycle Path, Shimen Dachen Bicycle Path, and Sankeng Old Street Bicycle Path along the Dahan River. Passing through Heping Old Street towards Daxi Bridge, you can admire the beautifully decorated street houses and the bridge featuring a semi-circular dome design while a Baroque sonata unfolds leisurely. After crossing Daxi Bridge, continue upstream to the Kanjin Bridge, with lush green farmlands accompanying you along the way, where the gentle scent of rice and leeks fills the air. If you visit in August or September, you can see a sea of leek flowers in Fanzi Liao, a romantic scene that rivals the snow of May's tung flowers! After the Erkan Rest Area, follow the Dahan River embankment to reach Sankeng Nature Ecology Park. Stand on the pavilion of the wooden walkway and quietly observe the emerald lake or stroll alongside the arch bridge and stream, unknowingly alleviating the fatigue accumulated from daily life, making the journey even more meaningful. Walking along Yongfu Road for about 2 kilometers brings you to Sankeng Old Street, known as "the First Street of Longtan." The traditional lifestyle here is still vividly visible; at the entrance, women chat about neighborhood matters while washing clothes in black and white wash basins. Yongfu Palace, a second-class historical site, has been the center of faith for residents for two hundred years. Next to it is the Qingqian House, a mansion from the Qing Dynasty now faded into simplicity. From Sankeng Old Street, you can access the branch Shimen Dachen Bicycle Path, with highlights along the way such as Sankeng Spring, Butterfly Flower Corridor, Coffee Forest Path, and Tung Flower Viewing Trail, making the journey full of surprises.
