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.

In the dense forests of Tanzania, a young researcher sat quietly among the trees, her gaze fixed on a troop of chimpanzees. It was 1960, and Jane Goodall, armed with nothing but a notebook and endless curiosity, was about to change science forever. Inspired by childhood stories like the Dr. Dolittle series, she had dreamed of Africa — and now, thanks to the encouragement of anthropologist Louis Leakey, she was there, face-to-face with the wild. What Jane discovered shocked the world. Chimpanzees weren’t mere creatures of instinct; they were individuals with emotions, families, and even the capacity for tool
