Jinguanyao River Cycling Path Introduction
The Jinguayliao River Bicycle Path can be divided into two sections: from the riverside suspension bridge to the Jincxi Police Station, and from the Jincxi Police Station to the endpoint at Jiuyonggen Riverside Park, with a round-trip distance of approximately 22.1 kilometers. The outbound journey includes uphill sections, so it is recommended to prepare water, snacks, and other supplies before setting off. Along the Jinguayliao River Bicycle Path, travelers can enjoy the winding scenery of the Jinguayliao River, passing through the separated bike path for fish watching, allowing riders to bike without worrying about vehicles. Continuing on, the route features the Jinguayliao Iron Horse New Paradise, the picturesque tea plantation villages, and the Jinguayliao Fish Fern Trail. The Jinguayliao Fish Fern Trail is a popular summer retreat for many, offering a serene atmosphere, rich fern ecology on the rock walls, and abundant fish in the stream, making it a recommended outdoor trail for travelers by Lonely Planet in 2017. The full bicycle path route is as follows: Pinglin Riverside Suspension Bridge (Pinglin Visitor Center) → Fish Watching Bicycle Path Monument → Jinguayliao Iron Horse New Paradise → Jincxi Police Station → Northern Entrance of Jinguayliao Fish Watching Trail → Jiuyonggen Riverside Park.
