Old Mountain Line Bicycle Trail Introduction
Railbiking the Old Mountain Line: Experience the Beauty of San Yi Mountain City The Old Mountain Line was completed in 1908 and is considered a masterpiece of modern railway craft and aesthetics. It ceased operation in 1998 due to operational cost issues, but its rich railway technology, forest scenery, and cultural landscape have led the county government to preserve and revive this historical monument. Utilizing the old railway system, they have created Taiwan's first "Railbike Old Mountain Line," allowing visitors to experience the beauty of the Old Mountain Line in a low-carbon, environmentally friendly manner through dynamic cultural preservation. This initiative has also received certification from Italy as an "International Slow City"!
