The Tamsui River is the soul of Taipei. The Taiwan Strait enters the Taipei Basin from Tamsui Port and enters Dadaocheng and Monga Pier. The right bank of the river is Taipei City, and the left bank of the river is New Taipei City (the original Taipei County). Most cyclists are familiar with the Yuanshan-Guandu-Tamsui bicycle line on the right bank. Today, the cyclists took a tour on the left bank of the Tamsui River: the Sanchong-Wugu-Bali line. There are not many tourists on holidays, but the bicycle lane planning is very smooth. Along the way, it starts from the left bank. Compared with the prosperous simplicity of the right bank, the scenery and feelings are unique.

This ubike tour started from Sanchong MRT Station. When we stepped out of the MRT station, the Erchong Floodway embankment was right in front of us. We chose a good bike at the ubike pick-up place near the station, adjusted the seat height, and stepped on the bicycle pedal. , start today’s journey. Although the riverside bicycle path on the Floodway was blocked by cross lanes several times, fortunately there were not many vehicles and the waiting time for the signal to change was very short. Moreover, there were many professional cyclists traveling with us, and they felt that we were not alone on the road and enjoyed cheering each other up. smell.

Wugu is located in a low-lying area where the Tamsui River flows into the Taipei Basin. It is constantly flooded and has become a wetland viewing area.

The bicycle path can be connected from the Sanchong area to the left bank lane of Bali, which is even better than the Tamsui bicycle path on the right bank.

Turning from the riverside of the floodway into the Bali left bank driveway, you will see the wide Tamsui River in front of you. The Guandu Bridge spans the river. The red bridge is reflected in the Tamsui River. This scene makes the rider feel that their trip is worthwhile. The river is very foggy today. Looking at Guandu on the right bank and Tamsui City where it enters the sea, it looks like a mirage.

Ride to Bali Pier, facing Tamsui across the river. Bali is much simpler and more natural than Tamsui. Bali Pier is now mostly of tourist value, and the restaurant features peacock clams. The rider did not stay at the pier for long. He followed the driveway and headed west along the coastline, passing by Bali Ecological Park, and finally arrived at his destination: Bali Thirteenth Line Museum. Unfortunately, the museum is closed due to the epidemic, and riders can only wander around and take photos. Thirteen Lines is an archaeological site of Taiwan’s ancestors and is an important landmark for understanding Taiwan’s prehistoric history.
