Nankan River Riverside Bike Path Introduction
Most towns have bicycle paths, but only a few offer the opportunity to appreciate waterfront views up close. The Nankan River Riverside Bike Path is one of the few successful leisure paths that integrate natural landscapes. It stretches 22 kilometers, connecting parks and scenic bridges across Guishan, Taoyuan, Luzhu, and Dayuan. Cyclists can enjoy the rare open vistas of the city, with different atmospheric charm during the day and night. Riding along the bike path, native fish swim in the creek, and the clean water attracts many egrets searching for food. The riverbanks, constructed from locally sourced pebbles, resemble an ecological landscape painting. The path runs from Nankan Bridge in Guishan District, through Hutoushan Park, to Nankan Creek Bridge in Luzhu District, along a continuous green corridor with trees such as Juisung, willow, peach blossom, and mountain cherry, adding to the vibrant green ambiance beyond the rural scenery.
