About the length New Taipei's riverside office gives no length for the Dahan River paths. Measured on the portal lines: right bank, Huajiang Bridge ramp to the Fuzhou rental station about 7.4 km; left bank, start to Xinyue Bridge about 4 km and to the Sanying rental station about 18.5 km.

Why these labels

Traffic and path type: The portal classes both banks entirely as shared walk and bike path inside the riverside parks. Access is over levee bridges and ramps; the Huajiang Bridge bike ramp is the right bank's start. New Taipei's directions to the Xinyue rental station cross Xinyue Bridge from the Banqiao side, linking the two banks.

Families: Flat paths inside the riverside parks, away from cars, with rental stations, playgrounds and parks along the way. Choose a short out-and-back from a rental station rather than a full bank.

Below Banqiao the Dahan River joins the Xindian River to form the Tamsui River. New Taipei has built riverside parks along both banks, and the national portal lists a bikeway on each bank.

The right bank route starts at the Huajiang Bridge bike ramp in Banqiao and runs upstream past the Fuzhou riverside parks and Tucheng's Mazutian sports park toward Sanxia. The left bank route starts in the Erchong Floodway park in Sanchong and runs past Xinzhuang, Shulin's riverside parks and the Shanjia lotus pond to Yingge.

New Taipei describes the Yingge Shanshui trail on the left bank as linking New Taipei with Daxi in Taoyuan. Together with the Xindian River paths, these banks are part of the riverside network around Taipei.

Who it suits

Suits families for short sections from a rental station, and riders who want a long, car-free ride out of Taipei toward Yingge. Little shade or scenery for long stretches.

The route

A ride plan, in order

  1. Family option: rent at Fuzhou (right bank) and ride a short out-and-back upstream toward Tucheng's Mazutian sports park.
  2. Right bank: Huajiang Bridge ramp to Fuzhou rental station about 7.4 km, then about 8.5 km more to the Hengxi end near Sanxia (measured on the portal line).
  3. Left bank: Erchong Floodway start to Xinyue Bridge about 4 km, then about 14.5 km more past Shulin to the Sanying rental station near Yingge (portal line).
  4. From Yingge, ride on TRA from Yingge Station or return the same way.

Getting there without a car

  • Right bank start: Jiangzicui MRT (Bannan Line) Exit 5, along Wenhua Road and over the levee footbridge: about 20 minutes on foot to the Huajiang rental station (New Taipei). Bus 264 from Banqiao to the Huajiang Bridge stop is the portal's suggestion.
  • Fuzhou (right bank, mid-route): TRA Fuzhou Station then about 20 minutes on foot via Daguan Road, or Far Eastern Hospital MRT about 15 minutes, or bus 234 to the Fuzhou Bridge stop about 5 minutes (New Taipei).
  • Left bank start: Airport MRT or Xinzhuang Line Sanchong Station to the Erchong Floodway park (portal).
  • Left bank, Yingge: TRA Yingge Station, about 15 minutes on foot to the Sanying rental station via Guanqian Road (New Taipei).
  • YouBike (New Taipei): Huajiang Bridge bike ramp station at the right bank start; stations at Xinyue Bridge, Lujiaoxi Park, the Sanying water resources centre and the Yingge riverside bikeway.

Bringing your own bike: The portal lists TRA Banqiao, Shulin and Yingge as bike-friendly stations; check TRA's bicycle timetable. Taipei Metro takes full-size bikes in set windows with an NT$80 ticket; check the excluded stations first.

  • New Taipei bans micro electric two-wheelers (微型電動二輪車) from its riverside parks, with fines of NT$300 to NT$1,200 from 2026-01-01.
  • Long stretches have little shade; carry water in hot weather.
  • Check the Central Weather Administration forecast before you go. Heavy rain, typhoons and earthquakes close paths, river parks and roads, sometimes for weeks.
