Shiding Beiyi Highway Introduction
The North-Yi 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, and ends at the intersection with Qingyun Road in Toucheng Township (at the 70K point of Provincial Highway 9). The route passes through Xindian District, Shiding District, and Pinglin District in New Taipei City, as well as Toucheng Township in Yilan County. The Shiding North-Yi Highway is a segment of mountainous road challenging for cyclists, starting from Bitan in Xindian along the North-Yi Highway (Provincial Highway 9), turning left onto North 47 or North 47-1 to Shiding, connecting to Route 106-B and continuing to Shenkeng via Route 106. The route features frequent ups and downs that thoroughly test cyclists' stamina and endurance; however, the scenery along the way is quite beautiful, especially in March when the mountains are adorned with pink mountain cherry blossoms. When the wind blows, petals scatter, refreshing the spirit. There are no bicycle rental stations along this route, so cyclists need to bring their own bicycles.
