Bali Left Bank Bicycle Path Introduction
Bali District in New Taipei City has a rich fishing resource and cultivable riverside plains, which have been inhabited by indigenous people for a long time. It later became a point of reclamation and was the earliest developed commercial port at the mouth of the Tamsui River. However, due to siltation of the port, it declined, preserving a strong cultural atmosphere and rich natural resources. The right bank of the Tamsui River and this area each present different sceneries, making it a popular tourist attraction in recent times. The Bali Left Bank Bicycle Path starts at the Ferry Terminal and runs through landmarks such as the Old Banyan Bastion, Left Bank Park, Shui Xing Temple, Left Bank Theater, Waziwei Mangrove Nature Reserve, sewage treatment plant, and the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology, totaling about 4 kilometers. On ordinary weekdays, early mornings and evenings are ideal for residents to exercise, with activities like jogging, walking, and cycling, allowing people to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy peaceful, comfortable moments. On weekends, the presence of numerous tourists enhances the lively and vibrant scenery. Entering from the Erchong Flood Diversion Canal to the Tamsui River Gate and crossing over to the opposite bank, the Guanyin Cave Bridge connects to the Bali Left Bank Bicycle Path, where one can enjoy beautiful riverside attractions such as Zhongxiao Wharf, New Taipei Bridge, and Happy Water Park. Since the adorable Miffy Rabbit installation has arrived at Bali Cultural Park, the Bali Left Bank has become even more vibrant, attracting many family visitors, especially suitable for families to rent bicycles together and explore various attractions along the Left Bank. This is a bicycle path that combines natural education, recreational sports, and beautiful scenery perfect for photography. Bikes can be rented at both "Bali Ferry Terminal" and "Bali Left Bank Wharf," allowing visitors to decide where to rent based on their itinerary.
