Tourexpi
Taiwan’s dramatic mountains, surrounding seas, diverse
natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage have long made it a favourite
among international travellers. In the past decade, more visitors have chosen
to explore the island by bicycle, cruising at a relaxed 25 km/h through scenery
that can be experienced sustainably and supported by bike-friendly places to
stay.
A Cycling Paradise with World-Class Routes
For travellers who explore the world on two wheels,
Taiwan offers challenging terrain, excellent infrastructure, high convenience
and distinctive sightseeing. From coastal stretches and rice-field plains to
high-altitude climbs such as Wuling, cyclists can experience a variety of
landscapes and difficulty levels within a short distance.
One highlight is Taiwan Cycling Route No. 1, a 968-km
circuit that encircles the entire island. Marked with clear signage and
equipped with rest and refreshment stops, it enables international visitors to
plan a safe, smooth and worry-free trip around Taiwan.
Another iconic ride is the Sun Moon Lake Bikeway,
named by CNN as one of the world’s ten most beautiful cycling paths. With
lakeside views and gentle gradients, it is ideal for leisure riders and
families.
A Naturally Convenient and Cycle-Friendly Environment
Taiwan’s unique urban-rural layout makes exploration
exceptionally convenient. The island’s dense network of convenience stores
provides reliable resupply points, a feature cyclists often cite as a major
advantage.
To support the global shift toward low-carbon travel,
the Tourism Administration continues to expand its Bike-Friendly Accommodation program.
Certified hotels must offer secure bike parking, cleaning facilities, basic
repair tools and other essential services. Many also provide early breakfast,
late check-out and additional flexibility for riders. Combined with Taiwan’s
renowned hospitality, the program ensures that both cyclist and bicycle receive
the rest and care they need.
Countless international riders recall memorable
encounters with helpful locals—moments that often become defining highlights of
their journey.
A Destination Worth Returning To
Whether you are visiting for the first time or
returning to rediscover “Formosa” — the beautiful island — Taiwan offers an
unrivalled cycling experience defined by convenience, diverse scenery and
genuine warmth. Booking a Bike-Friendly Accommodation is the ideal way to begin
your next adventure on two wheels.
