Toshih Bicycle Path Introduction
Tou She is a small village located to the southwest of Sun Moon Lake, at an elevation of approximately 640 to 670 meters, making it 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 the Provincial Highway 21. The area of the Tou She Basin is only about 2 square kilometers, with flat fields, lush greenery, flocks of egrets flying, and simple farmhouses creating a beautiful rural landscape. Riding a bicycle along the country lanes brings a refreshing spirit. The most well-known and widely planted crop in Tou She is the loofah, which blooms with beautiful yellow flowers from June to August each year. Furthermore, just a month prior, the golden daylily fields can also be found in the Tou She Basin, with vibrant orange daylily flowers coloring the entire area, allowing for stunning Instagram-worthy photos from any vantage point! Along the Tou She bike path, you can also see laundry areas where grandmothers, grandfathers, and others would wash clothes; if you're curious about how people used to socialize while doing laundry together, be sure not to miss these three laundry spots! During the summer vacation, if you wish to avoid the crowds in the Sun Moon Lake area, consider bringing your own bicycle and enjoy the local rural charm at a slower pace.
