Looking for a peaceful place to bike we found this little known bike trail along the coast line of Hsinchu.

  • Map of the 新竹縣濱海自行車道 (Hsinchu Coastline Bike Trail). ([local:/gallery/data/hsinchu-coastline-bike-trail/images/original/20101121-154033_IL0472_FX520.jpg Click here] for a bigger version.)
  • The mouth of the 頭前溪 (Tou qian river) along which part of the bike trail goes. Most of that area is still under construction though and the bike trail instead leads through the small roads of a residential area.
  • A little rest stop on the dam of the 頭前溪 (Tou qian river).
  • The river park of a small side stream of the 鳳山溪 (Feng shan river).
  • Almost the entire stream is inhabited by mangroves (紅樹林).
  • Sunset mood on the 新竹縣濱海自行車道 (Hsinchu Coastline Bike Trail).
  • This little bridge leads from the bike trail to the 鳳山溪橋 (Feng shan river bridge).
  • We were a little surprised once we arrived here. The bike bridge leads right to the southbound side of the 鳳山溪橋 (Feng shan river bridge). We're not quite sure whether we missed one of the not-so-obvious bike trail signs or whether bikers are indeed supposed to cross the bridge in the wrong direction. Luckily traffic was very light, so we plucked up our courage and went ahead. 台15線 鳳山溪橋
  • On the north side of the 鳳山溪 (Feng shan river) the dam is painted with beautiful aquatic scenes.
  • The entrance to the 新月沙灘 (Xin yue beach).
  • Looking northwards from 新月沙灘 (Xin Yue Beach).
  • The ocean near 新月沙灘 (Xin Yue Beach).
  • Large parts of the 新竹縣濱海自行車道 (Hsinchu Coastline Bike Trail) are actually not quite along the coast but go through forest areas further inland.
  • This is the entrance to a short connecting part of the bike trail between two roads.
  • On the other side is the 台15線. The bike trail follows it for a few hundred meters before it turns into a more quiet area again.
  • The bike trail goes along the tunnel that covers the 台15線.
  • On this section of the coastline trail you can even see the ocean once in a while. :-)
  • Sunset over the ocean.
  • The old 海岸路 (Hai an road), which is now a bike trail (with the occasional "lost" scooter or car).
  • The north entrance to the 海岸路 (Hai an road) bike trail.
