The Sankeng Cycle Route, which links the Sankeng Old Street in Taoyuan’s Longtan District and Dasi Bridge in Dasi District, is 7 km in length, has gentle slopes and is filled with rural landscapes, making it a favorite of cyclists.
Visitors can begin the journey from the Sankeng Old Street, ride along the Shihmen Canal and Dahan River, and reach the Dasi Bridge and Heping Old Street. Then, in about half a day, they can bite their way through the traditional cuisine and the famous Dasi dried bean curd on the two old streets. At a leisurely pace of 8 km per hour on a bike, a visitor can make a round trip between Sankeng Old Street and Heping Old Street within approximately two hours.
A major feature of the Sankeng Cycle Route is its multi-optional paths. If visitors only want an easy biking trip filled with rural landscapes, they can begin the journey from the Sankeng Old Street, ride along the channel and reach Erkan, then circle back to Sankeng Ecology Park. If they intend to ride for a longer distance, they can travel past Erkan to Dasi, then after reaching the Fanzailiao Resting Point, circle back to Sankeng Ecology Park. Both options are very suitable for family cycling trips.

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
