Tanyas神 Greenway Introduction
Tanya-Shei Greenway (0k~14k) is insured with public liability insurance. Play and travel tips: ◼️ The total length is approximately 13.1 kilometers ◼️ Seasonal plantings showcase different sceneries along the way: cherry blossoms in early spring, golden rain in mid-summer, and golden maple leaves fluttering in autumn, with the green tunnel resembling an oasis in the city. The gentle slope of the road is suitable for families to ride together, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy the pleasant journey of natural healing. Built on the old military railway of the Shengang branch, it starts from Zhongshan Road in the Tanzi District, passes through the Daya and Shengang Districts, and ends in the Zhongke area of Daya District, with a length of about 13.1 kilometers. The Tanya-Shei Greenway has connected to the Central Taiwan Science Park and is linked with surrounding bike paths, becoming the best recreational place for local residents and tourists. The Hongzhentou Yimin Temple is located next to the rest stop at 5.25K along the Tanya-Shei Greenway in the Zhuangqian Village of Shengang District and is a must-stop for cyclists. Many visitors mistakenly think the Yimin Temple is a Tudi Gong Temple; in fact, it has traces of history and is also a site of local commemorative significance. The surrounding pastoral scenery is beautiful, and the good facilities of the Tanya-Shei Greenway bike path and pedestrian path have made it a favorite spot for local residents to take leisurely walks. The Hulukeng Waterway was completed in the 12th year of Qianlong (1747), irrigating areas that include today's Fengyuan, Shengang, Tanzi, Daya, Beitun, and Xitun. As irrigation improved, agricultural development progressed, with Hakka and Han immigrants gathering in the watershed. At that time, there were three tributaries: the first (Fuzhen), the second (Central Zhen), and the third (Hengshan Zhen), which correspond to present-day Shengang, Zuo-qian, and Shanpi Village, extending to Daya, still referred to as "Hongzhengou" due to the red soil at the site of its initial opening, hence "Hongzhentou." In the 51st year of Qianlong (1786), the Lin Shuangwen Incident prompted Hakka residents of Beizhuang, led by Li Qiao-ji, to form local militia to protect their village. However, they could not withstand the attack from the nearby "Hongzhentou" Holo settlement, resulting in a significant number of casualties. It is said that the remains were buried beneath the soil mound under the Yimin Temple, which became a historical artifact. The Hongzhentou Yimin Temple was constructed in June 2006 and completed by the end of the year, with surrounding scenery improved in July 2020, with the main deity being Yimin Ye. The bike route of Tanya-Shei Greenway starts from Tanzi Station (the starting point) → Xiaoyun Mountain Villa → Wanxing Temple → Shekou Lin Residence → Daya District Citizen Agricultural Park (Daya International Flower Market) → Qingquankeng Air Force Base → Qingquankeng sign (the endpoint).
