[2025 Taitung Attraction] Travel Guide for Guanshan Bicycle Path (Updated Jun)

Cycling has always been a great choice for family trips, especially when riding through the Hualien-Taitung Valley, surrounded by mountains and water, fields and forests. If you have to pick one place to recommend, the 'Guanshan Town Circular Bike Path' in Taitung's Guanshan Town is definitely the top choice! The 12-kilometer-long circular bike path is divided into two sections: the water-friendly section and the mountain-friendly section. Starting from Guanshan Water Park, it follows the shallow Guanshan Dapai and Hongshi Creek, offering expansive field views along the way. Overlooking the crisscrossing rice paddies, your mood will naturally lift. With beautiful mountains, water, and scenery, cycling in Guanshan doesn't feel tiring at all. Although it takes 1.5 hours, the pleasant scenery along the way makes it very relaxing. Couples can even ride a tandem bike to test their coordination and stamina, adding a bit of fun. The other mountain-friendly section has some gentle uphill slopes, but it's manageable. At the highest point of the bike path, there's a pavilion called 'Zhongguan Sun and Moon Pavilion,' where you can overlook the town's scenery, rice fields, and canals from a high vantage point. It's very simple and natural, and quite comfortable.

Every time I visit Taitung, I make sure to stop by Guanshan Water Park! The blue skies and white clouds paired with lush green rice fields instantly put me at ease. The gentle breeze feels incredibly refreshing. This time, I rented a four-person electric bike and leisurely rode along the Town Loop Bike Path for about 1 to 2 hours. The experience of cycling while enjoying the scenery was so relaxing. Along the way, there are mountain views, rice fields, and several small platforms where you can stop to take photos or simply zone out. It's truly therapeutic. The pace here is wonderfully slow, making it perfect for unwinding. If you're visiting Taitung, I highly recommend coming here for a stroll!

One of my favorite attractions in Taitung, I always come here. From the bustling crowds of tourists to the current decline (the crowds all went to Chihshang), it is really worthwhile to come here to ride on Sunday afternoons, and the whole place is reserved.

Beautiful Hualien and Taitung, slow-paced travel, worth a visit~
