Cycling day trip from Hengchun to Kaohsiung City

Hey there, cycling enthusiasts! Ready for a ride from the charming town of Hengchun to the vibrant city of Kaohsiung? This route will take you through roughly 140.5 kilometers of beautiful Taiwanese countryside and vibrant cityscapes, with plenty of ups and downs—literally! You’ll climb over 2,340 meters, so make sure those legs are warmed up!

Starting in Hengchun, known for its old city walls and occasional visits to the nearby national parks, you'll hit the road on a variety of surfaces, mostly missing (which maybe means local flavor, who knows?), with a nice bit of asphalt and paved roads. No worries, there are plenty of quiet roads and cycleways to cruise on, comprising most of your journey.

Kaohsiung awaits at the end of your adventure. It’s Taiwan’s second-largest city and offers a delightful mix of cultural landmarks, stunning harbor views, and tasty street food. Be sure to stop by Love River or pop into one of the many art venues this city offers.
