Bali Left Bank Bicycle Path Introduction
Bali District in New Taipei City has been inhabited by indigenous people for a long time due to its rich fishery resources and cultivable riverside plains. It later became a site for migration and was the first commercial port to develop at the mouth of the Tamsui River. Although the port declined due to silting, it preserved a strong cultural atmosphere and abundant natural resources, presenting a different charm compared to the right bank of the Tamsui River, thus becoming a popular tourist attraction. The Bali Left Bank Bicycle Path starts at the Ferry Terminal and passes by landmarks such as the Old Banyan Fort, Left Bank Park, Shui Xing Temple, Left Bank Theater, Waziwei Mangrove Nature Reserve, the sewage treatment plant, and the Shisan Hang Museum, covering a total distance of about 4 kilometers. It serves as a good place for residents to exercise in the morning and evening, where jogging, walking, and biking allow people to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy tranquil and comfortable moments. On holidays, numerous tourists further enhance the lively and vibrant scenery here. For instance, entering the Tamsui River Lock from the Erchong Flood Relief Channel to the opposite bank and continuing to the Guanyinkeng Stream Bridge connects to the Bali Left Bank Bicycle Path, where visitors can enjoy beautiful riverside attractions such as Zhongxiao Wharf, New Taipei Bridge, and Happiness Waterpark. After the cute Miffy Rabbit installation arrived at Bali Cultural Park, the Bali Left Bank has become more lively than ever, attracting many families with children, making it particularly suitable for families to rent bicycles together to explore various attractions along the Left Bank. It is a bicycle path that combines nature education, sports and recreation, and beautiful scenery perfect for photography. Both "Bali Ferry Terminal" and "Bali Left Bank Wharf" offer bike rentals, allowing visitors to choose where to rent based on their itinerary.
