Cycling day trip from Taipei to Keelung

Hey there, ready to pedal from the vibrant cityscape of Taipei to the coastal charm of Keelung? This leisurely ride spans about 36 kilometers and is a fantastic way to escape the urban hustle for a few hours.

You'll start in Taipei, a city known for its amazing street food, bustling night markets, and the iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper. Make sure you've had your fill of dumplings and maybe snap a few pics before heading out!

Your journey will mostly take you along dedicated cycleways, which is perfect for a relaxed and safe ride. The route is mostly flat, with a few gentle climbs totaling around 334 meters of ascent to get your legs working. You'll cruise past a mix of urban and quieter roads, giving you a taste of local life in the outskirts of the city.

As you head towards Keelung, don't forget to enjoy the sea breeze as you get closer to this lively coastal town. Known for its seafood market and the annual Ghost Festival, Keelung offers a refreshing end to your ride.

So grab your helmet, maybe toss in a raincoat for good measure (because you never know with Taiwan weather), and enjoy the ride from city life to ocean air!
