Taiwan is an international cycling paradise. In order to encourage people to travel at a more leisurely pace along the north coast, North Guan National Scenic Area built Shuangwan, Wanta, Wanjin and Waimushan bike routes over the past few years. Riding a bike along Taiwan Provincial Highway No. 2 next to the ocean is the best way for bikers to find their own secret paradise.
Fugui Cape Lighthouse, the northernmost point in Taiwan, is the connection point for a series of bike routes along Keelung's north coast area. The “2022 Taiwan Bike Tourism Festival Extreme Point Slow Travel - Extreme North Point Biking Tour Series Event” takes place from July to October, including an “Independent Biking Tour Certification Event,”“Volunteer Leading Biker Training, “Bike Summer Camp” “North Pole- Fugui Cape Lighthouse Ride” and other events.
