Xindian Riverside Bikeway
The Xindian Riverside Bikeway is a flat bike path that runs along both sides of the Xindian River, offering a gentle ride for all ages. The route passes parks like Sunshine Sports Park and allows cyclists to cross between sides using the Yangguang Bridge, creating a connected loop system.
The Xindian River and settlement of this area date back to early regional development in New Taipei City, with the name reflecting how the landscape was transformed at that time. The bikeway developed later to provide the growing population with a safe and accessible route for recreation.
The name Xindian means "new flatland" and reflects how people settled this area historically. Today, locals use the path as a daily gathering place where you see families cycling together and neighbors meeting for walks, showing how the river connects the community.
The path is well-maintained and easy to ride on, with wide trails and clear markings that make navigation simple. Many sections offer shaded areas under trees and rest spots where you can stop to relax or have a snack.
A standout feature is the connection to a bike rental system starting at the Bitan Station, allowing visitors to easily rent a bike and start their ride right away. This makes exploring the river accessible to people without their own bikes and offers a convenient way to discover the area.
