Tou-She Bicycle Path Introduction
Toushe is a small village located southwest of Sun Moon Lake, with an elevation of about 640 to 670 meters, which is approximately 80 meters lower than Sun Moon Lake. The terrain is very flat, making it ideal for cycling, and the starting point for the bike path is right next to Taiwan Highway 21. The area of the Toushe basin is only about 2 square kilometers, characterized by flat fields, green meadows, flocks of egrets, and rustic farmhouses, together creating a beautiful rural landscape. Riding a bicycle along the country paths is a delightful experience. The most famous and widely cultivated crop in Toushe is the bottle gourd, with vibrant yellow flowers blooming between June and August each year, creating a stunning sight. Additionally, the fields of daylilies bloom a month earlier, also located in the Toushe basin. The abundant daylilies turn the entire field orange, making it a perfect spot for beautiful social media photos from any angle. Along the Toushe bike path, you can also see laundry areas used by grandmothers and grandfathers. Want to know what it was like for people to socialize while doing laundry in the past? Be sure not to miss these three laundry areas when you visit! During the summer holidays, if you want to avoid the crowded areas around Sun Moon Lake, consider bringing your own bicycle here to meander and take your time to experience the most authentic and charming rural scenery!
