Huanxi Bicycle Path Introduction
The "Hanjing West Road Bicycle Path - from Dong District Liberty Road Bridge to Dongmen Bridge" and "Hanjing East Road Bicycle Path - from Songzhu No. 2 Bridge to Juxing Bridge" are insured under public liability insurance. This bicycle path along Hanjing East Road spans across five administrative districts: Dali, Taiping, Beitun, Tanzih, and Fengyuan. Due to the numerous intersections, dedicated bicycle traffic lights have been installed. Parts of the first half of the bicycle path run under bridges, and public facilities along the way include: resting benches, bicycle racks, information boards, guardrails, mileage markers, resting nodes, reflective facilities, streetlights, and bicycle-specific traffic lights. The main plant species include: Lagerstroemia speciosa, Taiwan mesua, Ficus microcarpa, Bougainvillea, and Murraya paniculata. The route of the Hanjing Bicycle Path starts at Liushun Road in the south, and goes north under the Dongmen Bridge to its endpoint at Songzhu Road, covering approximately 10 kilometers. The bicycle path is well-established along the side of the bridge. After proceeding about 1 kilometer to the Dongmen Bridge, there are wavy-shaped park benches available for rest, where travelers can enjoy the soothing sound of flowing water in the refreshing afternoon breeze. Cyclists can continue north past the Yuying Bridge and Leyeh Bridge, and because it is near the suburbs with reduced traffic, every intersection is marked with bicycle-shaped traffic signals, and there are clear bicycle route indications at the crossings. After passing the Liberty Road Bridge, the bicycle path's surrounding wall features an eye-catching graffiti wall, and the bicycle path crossing Jingwu Bridge turns toward the waterfront. Thereafter, the bicycle path is isolated from the vehicular road, becoming a closed pathway that enhances the waterside experience. Additionally, at the intersection of Hanjing East Road and Zhenxing Road, there is Hanjing Night Market, which attracts 20,000 to 30,000 visitors on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, featuring around 300 stalls with food, drinks, and entertainment. Cyclists are welcome to "ride" and explore the night market.
