Shimen Changbin Bike Path Introduction
Taiwan's East Coast has been shaped by the collision and compression of the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate over centuries, resulting in orogeny and creating excellent geological landscapes. Connected to the Pacific Ocean, it boasts rich marine ecology, where jumping whales and dolphins can often be seen, inspiring awe at the wonders of nature. The Changbin Bicycle Path passes through famous East Coast attractions such as Shitiping, Changhong Bridge, the Tropic of Cancer marker, and Ba-Xian Cave, providing opportunities for stops and arrangements for half-day or full-day itineraries. The flat coastline and windbreak forest landscape of Changbin has also served as a filming location for movies like "The Furthest Distance" and "Etude." Additionally, the East Coast National Scenic Area Administration has set up carefully designed scenic pavilions along the route, located in open areas with excellent views, allowing visitors to rest and enjoy the breathtaking landscape of the East Coast. One of the most unique experiences is cycling along the path, where you can admire coastal flora typical of the East Coast, such as coastal forests featuring species like Lintou, Huangtong, and Caohaitong, as well as coral reefs and large tidal pools. Furthermore, you can spot rare and precious birds like terns, Black-headed Gulls, waterbirds, and sandpipers, all set against the remarkably advantageous geographical environment, making it a perfect retreat and visual feast.
