Walking and cycling tours: there are several interesting cycle routes in and around Taipei. The Dan Shui Riverside Cycle Path begins at the south side of the Tam Sui MRT station and ends at the Hung Shu Lin MRT stop. The path offers excellent views of Pa Li Town and the mountain of Kuan Yin on the other side of the river as well as providing access to one of few remaining mangrove swamps in Taiwan. A number of joggers and walkers also use this route. Beaches: the Paishawan beach lies about 20kms north of Taipei. It is a stunning beach that is often crowded with water sports enthusiasts and sunbathers. Chinshan Beach gets very crowded during the weekends but is a lovely beach to visit on other days. The beach also has hot spring baths. Golf: several golf courses are available in Taipei but the three most popular with tourists include the Taiwan Golf and Country Club, Tan Shui Golf and Country Club and the Pearl Height Golf and Country Club. |
