Toushe Bicycle Path Introduction
Toushe is a small village located southwest of Sun Moon Lake, with an elevation of approximately 640 to 670 meters, which is about 80 meters lower than Sun Moon Lake. The terrain is very flat, making it ideal for cycling, and the starting point of the bike path is right next to Taiwan Highway 21. The area of the Toushe Basin is only about 2 square kilometers, featuring flat land, lush greenery, flocks of herons, and simple farmhouses that together create a beautiful rural landscape. Riding a bicycle along the countryside paths here is truly refreshing. The most famous and widely cultivated crop in Toushe is the loofah. From June to August each year, the yellow loofah flowers bloom beautifully. Additionally, the sea of daylilies, which blooms about a month earlier, is also in the Toushe Basin, filling the fields with vibrant orange flowers, making it a perfect spot for Instagram-worthy photos from any angle! Along the Toushe bike path, you can also see laundry areas where grandparents used to wash clothes together. If you're curious about how people in earlier times would socialize while doing laundry, don’t miss these three laundry areas when you visit! During the summer vacation, if you want to avoid the crowded areas around Sun Moon Lake, consider bringing your bike here to explore at a slower pace and genuinely experience the most authentic and warm rural surroundings.
