Shen’ao RailBike – Romantic summer night railroad journey under the starry sky. Shall we get on the road now, darling?
(New Taipei City News) To welcome the upcoming hot summer and Chinese Valentine’s Day, Shen’ao Railbike will be offering additional nighttime operation hours from July through September. Along with the brand-new Chinese Valentine’s Day theme and romantic lighting setting, we are bringing everyone a loving summer night riding experience. At the same time, we are also coordinating with the nighttime operation with itineraries on the sea, providing everyone more fun travel options in Shen’ao at night.

Valentine’s Day Theme Light Tunnel: Ride the fugu bike to Love Island

Since the opening of Shen’ao RailBike, its most popular ocean-theme light tunnel has been using light sculpture display of vivid marine life to accompany the passengers as they travel through the secret ocean paradise. Coordinating with the arrival of summer, the RailBike will launch Chinese Valentine’s Day theme from July through September. Visitors will embark on a romantic adventure while riding the adorable fugu carts, as they “swim” towards Love Island with pairs of marine life. It’s your turn now to share this fun journey with your important loved ones underneath the welcoming fireworks!

Light up Shen’ao – Ride the RailBike under the starry sky.

In response to nighttime operation times from July through September, Shen’ao RailBike will also be introducing sparkling romantic lighting along the route, bringing rarely seen charm for its visitors. One will see the sparkling starry ornaments at Badouzi Railway Station platform, and the starry lights will accompany visitors to the ocean-viewing segment, where alphabet spelling out the word “love” in different languages are installed as light sculpture, reminding everyone that love is borderless. The artful display is complemented by the breathtaking luminous sea of roses under the starry night – appreciating this dreamy light art flowery scene under the starry sky will be an amazing experience that cannot be found anywhere else. Arriving at the hills segment of the road where Jianji Coal Mine historic site is located, visitors will be welcomed by the tunnel furnished with seas of starry lights – the decoration of heart-shaped LED lighting just seems to be leading everyone into a romantic fantasy land. Lastly, visitors will arrive at Shen’ao Station platform where heart-shaped ornaments are hung everywhere to create a sweet loving ambiance, wishing each and every passenger arriving at Shen’ao a wonderful night.

Shall we get on the road now, darling?
