TAIPEI, Nov. 29, 2025 -- Taiwan is mountainous, and surrounded on all sides by the sea. It's blessed with diverse natural landscapes, a rich cultural heritage, and a captivating gastronomic culture. These have made it a favorite destination for international travelers. Over the past decade or so, visitors have increasingly chosen to explore Taiwan by bicycle. Cruising along at a leisurely 25 km/h, they can experience Taiwan's scenery in a sustainable way and stay at bike-friendly accommodations.

For people who love exploring the world by bike, Taiwan offers challenging routes, an excellent infrastructure, a high level of convenience and distinctive sightseeing features. This has made it a paradise for cycling tourism. Taiwan offers diverse terrain, from coastlines and rice-field plains to high mountains such as Wuling. This allows cyclists to experience a variety of landscapes and difficulty in a short time. Of special note, the 968-km Taiwan Cycling Route No. 1 encircles the entire island. It's equipped with clear signage and rest/refreshment stops along the way, enabling international travelers to plan a safe and worry-free trip around Taiwan. In addition, Sun Moon Lake's lakeside bikeway was selected by CNN as one of the world's top ten most beautiful cycling paths, and is another classic route perfect for leisure travelers and families.

Taiwan's convenient and cycle-friendly environment naturally encourages exploration. A high density of convenience stores makes resupply easy, with these stores serving as the most reliable supply points for cyclists.
