This route also conveniently leads visitors to Taipei City's last Sampan pier, known as "Sanjiaodu".

Set amidst lush hills and pristine waters, the left and right bank riverside bikeways along the Jingmei River feature a diverse landscape with prominent attractions like the Taipei Zoo, NCCU Stadium, and abundant greenery. This scenic route includes sprawling green lawns and crystal-clear streams, offering a remarkably comfortable and delightful experience.
The bikeway continues along the banks of the Xindian River after the Huajiang Bridge. The riverside scenery of the Xindian River resembles "green spaces within the city" as it passes through Banqiao, Zhonghe, Yonghe, and Xindian. Each year from October to March, visitors can also observe wild geese, ducks, and protected migratory birds along the route. Integrating your cycling routine with the enjoyment of leisure, fitness, and delicious cuisines, you can certainly have a fulfilling and enriching day.
Finally, the Tamsui River Riverside Bikeway is constructed along the Yanping Riverside Park from the Dadaocheng Pier.
