New Taipei City Travel

Tamsui Kavalan Trails refer generally to the major traffic route from Tamsui Sub-Prefecture to Kavalan Sub-Prefecture of the Qing Dynasty. “Liulanglu Sightseeing Hiking Trail” was previously a push car railway from Ruifang to Jiufen with a total distance of approximately 1.6km, making it suitable for hiking beginners’ debut route to experience Tamsui Kavalan Trails. After leaving Ruifang Train Station, go straight for approximately 100m and you will spot Ruifang Food Court, which offers historic pork thick soup, Taiwanese pork chop rice… It is a gourmet center with 25 years of history! After renovation, the dining environment has become more comfortable; with the air conditioning, you won’t get all sweaty while you eat. There is such an amazing selection of tasty food in Ruifang; before leaving the Trail, it is recommended to visit on your way home the famous dessert shop in the area – Misty Cake, and bring home a golden puff made of sweet potato, a local specialty, as a reward for your workout! There are cooling and refreshing lush greens along Liulanglu Sightseeing Hiking Trail. Once reaching Liulangtou Observation Deck at the top, visitors can have a bird’s eye view of the splendid sceneries in Badouzi, Keelung and Ruifang. Stepping outside the Trail and you will be in Jiufen! Many people may not know that there is actually a Jiufen Gold Ore Museum, which is different from the widely known Gold Museum. It was founded by an old miner Mr. Tseng Shui-chih and has a display of various kinds of mining tools; visitors will also have the opportunity to experience gold panning here! Let us bring you the mountain town’s night view of Jiufen Old Street as the ending of your journey – enjoy the mountain town sceneries that grow more and more strikingly beautiful at night!

The Dahan River bike trail is divided into the left and right waterfront. The left band connects Hsinchuang, Shulin, and Yingge, entering from the bike trail section of Shanjia Gan Yuan bridge and passing Gan Yuan Ecological Riverside Park, which is a feature eco-park, linking the entire river bank into one green alleyway. Enjoy the peacefulness of nature within the park. When the large hand molded cup shape tower and characteristic Longyao bridge are in sight, the bike trail is nearing its final destination “San-Ying Waterfront”. Grandma Sushi on the old street and pottery DIY immediately comes to mind in Yingge, or one could visit Yingge Ceramics Museum, the most beautiful museum of New Taipei to be awash in arts. Or perhaps take the bus to Sanxia Old Street filled with Baroque style. It is the few complete traditional street districts in Taiwan of historical value and great for strolling.
