Changqing Bicycle Path Introduction
The Changqing Bicycle Path connects Tianzhong Forest Park and Qingshui Rock, serving as a shared path for both cyclists and pedestrians. Along the way, it boasts rich low-elevation ecosystems, and the mountain pavilions offer views of the vast plains and high-speed rail trains passing by, making it popular among cyclists and local residents. The Changqing Bicycle Path spans approximately 6 kilometers, which can be divided into ordinary and challenging routes based on surface smoothness and slope. The ordinary route measures nearly 4 kilometers and passes by Zantian Temple and Qingshui Rock, reaching Hutiangong in Shetou Township. This route has a gentler slope, making it a great choice for families and fitness enthusiasts. The challenging route, known as the "Seven Thousand Route," measures about 2 kilometers, with an endpoint marked at 7100 meters. It features steep and rugged terrain, requiring more physical effort while cycling, so it's advised that cyclists prepare accordingly and choose a route that suits their physical condition. Every year around the vernal equinox in March, flocks of gray-faced buzzards migrate over the Bagua Mountain Range, and the endpoint of the challenging route is very close to the Hengshan Eagle Watching Platform, attracting many cyclists who enjoy the thrill of the ride followed by the rare spectacle of eagles soaring in the sky. Additionally, the paulownia blossom season from late spring to early summer is also a must-see, where cyclists can admire the beautiful blossoms while enjoying the mountain breeze, creating a dreamlike experience that is a great pleasure.
