The highest altitude on this route is 2610m. Please make sure your body can handle high-altitude riding.
Decreased ambient air pressure: The air is thin, reducing the efficiency of oxygen exchange in the lungs and causing a decrease in arterial oxygen levels. When engaging in activities at high altitudes, please slow down your pace, take deep breaths, and pay close attention to your body's reactions.
High altitude symptoms include vomiting, dizziness, headache, slow reaction, and in severe cases, pulmonary edema or cerebral edema. Therefore, those in serious condition should be quickly transported down the mountain.
The temperature difference in the high-altitude climate is large, so please prepare warm clothing and take precautions against the cold.
The mountain roads are narrow, and to ensure a smooth rescue operation, the supply vehicle will remain at the back of the team and proceed in a fixed manner. Riders are advised to bring their own warm coats, water, and food.
The Sun Moon Lake Bike Path is primarily designed for cyclists to ensure a smooth and safe experience. While certain sections may accommodate pedestrians, it's generally recommended for walkers to use designated pedestrian areas or sidewalks alongside the path. Cyclists should always be mindful of any pedestrians present and share the path respectfully to maintain safety for everyone.
Cycling a full loop of the Sun Moon Lake Bike Path typically takes about 2 to 3 hours at a moderate pace, including short stops for photos and enjoying the scenery. The path itself covers approximately 30 kilometers. Utilizing an E+Bike, which provides electric assistance, can make the journey feel easier and potentially quicker, allowing more time to appreciate the stunning lake views and tranquil atmosphere.
Participants can conveniently book the 2-day 1-night cycling tour, which includes E+Bike rental, through KKday. Booking via KKday offers a seamless experience, ensuring your electric-assist bicycle is arranged in advance as part of the tour package. This eliminates the need to find a rental shop upon arrival, allowing you to start your journey directly and enjoy the scenic Sun Moon Lake, Ershui, and Jiji bike paths without any hassle.
Yes, E+Bikes (electric-assist bicycles) still require pedaling. They are designed to amplify your pedaling power, making climbs easier and extending your endurance, rather than being fully automatic. This means you get the benefit of exercise with less effort, allowing you to comfortably enjoy the longer distances and varied terrains of the Sun Moon Lake, Ershui, and Jiji bike paths throughout the tour.
When using an E+Bike on the Sun Moon Lake, Ershui, and Jiji bike paths, always wear a helmet and ensure the bike is properly adjusted for your height. Be aware of your surroundings, especially on shared paths, and maintain a safe distance from other cyclists and pedestrians. Familiarize yourself with the E+Bike's controls, particularly the assist levels and brakes, before starting your ride to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.
Along these paths, cyclists can enjoy diverse scenery. The Babaozhan Waterway offers historical agricultural landscapes. The Jiji Green Tunnel is famous for its lush, tree-lined canopy, providing a cool and picturesque ride. The Moon Bay Bike Path, a segment of the Sun Moon Lake Round-the-Lake Road, presents stunning lake views and tranquil coves. The tour generally highlights the beauty of natural lake and mountain scenery, alongside opportunities to appreciate nostalgic old houses.
The Ershui Bike Path, which includes the scenic Babaozhan Waterway, typically takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to explore at a leisurely pace. The Jiji Green Tunnel section, combined with the wider Jiji Bike Path, usually requires approximately 1.5 to 2 hours for a comprehensive ride and enjoyment of the surroundings. These durations allow for stops to appreciate the unique landscapes and nostalgic charm of these routes.
To reach the tour's departure point in Changhua, travelers can take a high-speed rail (HSR) to Changhua Station, then transfer to a local train or bus to the city center. Alternatively, taking a regular train (TRA) directly to Changhua Station is also a convenient option from various cities across Taiwan. It is advisable to check local bus routes or taxi services for the final leg to the specific departure location to ensure a smooth start to your cycling adventure.
