Shihting Beiyi Highway Introduction
The Beiyi Highway is a road located in northern Taiwan, connecting Taipei and Yilan, with a total length of 58 kilometers. It reaches the Lanyang Plain after descending from Jinmian Mountain in Toucheng Township, Yilan County, ending at the junction with Qingyun Road in Toucheng Township (Taiwan Route 2 Geng Line) at 70K of Taiwan Route 9. The highway passes through Xindian District, Shiding District, and Pinglin District in New Taipei City, as well as Toucheng Township in Yilan County. The Beiyi Highway in Shiding is a challenging route for cycling in the mountains, starting from Bitan in Xindian, turning left onto Beiyi Highway (Taiwan Route 9), connecting to North 47 or North 47-1 to Shiding, and then to Line 106乙 until reaching Shenkeng via Shuangxi. The route features frequent ups and downs, testing the cyclists' stamina and endurance, but the scenery along the way is quite beautiful, especially in March when the cherry blossoms bloom in shades of pink, creating a picturesque scene as the petals fall in the wind, refreshing the spirit. There are no bike rental stations along this route, so cyclists need to bring their own bicycles.
