Explore New Taipei's Mountain and Ocean Route - Connecting Mountain Towns and Coastal Views
 
  [New Taipei City News] The New Taipei City Government Tourism and Travel Department has launched the "Mountain and Ocean Route" low-carbon travel initiative, allowing visitors to explore the Northeastern Coast tourism areas using green transportation options such as trains and bicycles. The project reevaluates and reorganizes tourism resources in areas like Mudan, Shuangxi, and Gongliao, connecting mountain towns and coastal scenic spots in the Northeast. Key natural and ecological attractions, including the "Thirteen Levels Waterside Park," "Bald Cypress Secret Spot," "Fish Market Station," and "Gongliao Eco-Park," are featured, inviting everyone to experience this charming light-travel route.

  The "Mountain and Ocean Route" is an extension of the Centennial Railway Loop Plan, linking key spots along the Pingxi and Yilan railway lines. This initiative has secured funding from the central government, supplemented by NT$21 million from the city, totaling NT$38 million. The plan maximizes the existing natural environment, integrating landscape features to create unique points of interest. It aims to provide comfortable, eco-friendly recreational spaces for people of all ages.

  The Gongliao Eco-Park, originally featuring bald cypress trees and large grassy areas, has been redesigned with hill-like landscapes and a wetland trail. The new layout enhances floodwater retention capacity and includes a PushBike area for children. The park also features a coniferous forest theme, integrating paths to create a new resting spot. Meanwhile, the Shuangxi Bald Cypress Secret Spot, located beside the Yilan railway line, features an elevated boardwalk offering a unique view of passing trains. The Shuangxi Fish Market Station has been revamped with new resting areas and landscaping, combining a local temple, observation deck, and seating area into a cyclist-friendly rest stop. Additionally, the Mudan Thirteen Levels Waterside Park has been mildly renovated to improve water permeability and provide a relaxing forest atmosphere.

  Traveling along the Mountain and Ocean Route by train allows visitors to easily explore the areas between Mudan and Gongliao, with convenient access to scenic coastal corridors and the rich mining culture of the Ruifang, Pingxi, and Shuangxi regions.
