[2025 Nantou ] Travel Guide for Sun Moon Lake Bikeway (Updated Aug)

When you come to Sun Moon Lake, you must ride one of the "most beautiful bicycle routes in Taiwan reported by CNN", which is the section from Shuishe Pier to Xiangshan Visitor Center🚴‍♀️ The weather in autumn is great, with sunshine but not too hot, it is very comfortable to ride 😌. Along the way, you can see the turquoise surface of Sun Moon Lake with the sunlight shining on it, the whole thing is sparkling and very beautiful✨ There is also a bald cypress secret place below the Xiangshan Visitor Center🌳, which is very suitable for outdoor photography😆. The architecture of the visitor center itself is also very distinctive and looks like a work of art. However, there are so many people that it is difficult not to take pictures of people🤣, so I just took a few photos🥲 #NantouTourism #NantouAttractions #NantouTravel #NantouFishpond #Photography Guide for Attractions#Cool Travel Experiences#Travel Inspiration#Learn Photography Skills#Beautiful Travel Photos of Beautiful Girls#Travel Tips#Where to Go in Summer

Years ago, I had the chance to cycle around Sun Moon Lake and was captivated by its stunning scenery. This time, I took advantage of the holiday to revisit Sun Moon Lake for another cycling adventure. The night before, I stayed near Ita Thao Pier and explored the surrounding area. The next morning, I rented a bike near Shuishe Pier. There are plenty of bike rental shops in the area, so I checked Google Maps for highly-rated options and eventually chose Dian Xiao Er Bike Rental. Their prices were reasonable, and the rental period lasted until 6 PM. The entire cycling route offers breathtaking views, especially the "Xiangshan Bike Path." Riding along the lakeside, you’ll have the lake on your left and lush greenery on your right. You’ll also pass a winding wooden boardwalk that looks postcard-perfect in photos. The breeze along the way is refreshing, and the air is incredibly clean. I took my time, stopping to snap pictures and enjoy the wind, making the whole experience feel wonderfully relaxed. Even if you’re not someone who exercises regularly, there’s no need to worry. While there are a few small slopes, the overall route isn’t too strenuous. Plus, there are plenty of rest stops and observation decks along the way where you can take breaks and enjoy the scenery. I also spent some time at the Xiangshan Visitor Center. The architecture is stunning and thoughtfully designed. They even sell coffee and ice cream, which was perfect for a quick energy boost.

This journey, with its stunning views of Taiwan’s serene waters and lush mountains, feels like an intimate conversation between you and nature. The winding road takes you through shaded paths, offering cool respite from the sun as you coast along the peaceful lake’s edge. Every pedal stroke brings you closer to the Xiangshan Bike Trail, where the landscape transforms into a vast panorama. The trail itself challenges you, but it rewards with breathtaking vistas that make every effort worthwhile. Cycling here isn’t just about the path—it’s about the connection to the heart of Taiwan.
