Bali Left Bank Bicycle Path Introduction
Bali District in New Taipei City has a rich fishing resource and cultivable riverside plains, which have attracted the indigenous people to settle here early on. It later became a settlement for immigrants and was the first developed commercial port at the mouth of the Tamsui River. Subsequently, the port declined due to silting, yet it has preserved a strong cultural atmosphere and abundant natural resources, showcasing different characters from the right bank of the Tamsui River, making it a popular tourist destination in recent years. The Bali Left Bank Bicycle Path starts from the ferry terminal and runs through the Old Banyan Fort, Left Bank Park, Shui-Hsing Temple, Left Bank Theater, Wazihwei Mangrove Natural Conservation Area, wastewater treatment plant, and ends at the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology, covering a total length of approximately 4 kilometers. In the early mornings and evenings on weekdays, it is a great place for residents to exercise—jogging, walking, and cycling allow people to escape the hustle and bustle, enjoying peaceful and comfortable moments. On weekends, many tourists enhance the lively and vibrant scenery here. Entering from the Erchong Flood Diversion Canal to the Tamsui River Gate and crossing to the other side, one can connect to the Bali Left Bank Bicycle Path via the Guanyinkeng Bridge, with beautiful riverside attractions such as the忠孝碼頭, New Taipei Bridge, and Happy Water Park along the way. After the arrival of the adorable Miffy-themed landscape at Bali Cultural Park, the Bali Left Bank has become even livelier and attracts many family visitors, especially suitable for families to rent bicycles together and enjoy various attractions along the left bank. It is a bicycle path that combines nature education, sports and leisure, and beautiful scenic views perfect for taking photos. Bicycles can be rented at both the Bali Ferry Terminal and Bali Left Bank Wharf, allowing visitors to choose where to rent based on their itinerary.
