About the lengthNational cycling portal (MOTC) multi-route 880700001000, 'Penghu multi-route (Juddao)': 109.7 km The 109.7 km covers a main line plus branches, not one continuous loop. The portal's main drawn line measures about 79 km; with the branches to Fenggui, Shanshui, Kuibishan and western Xiyu the drawn stretches add up to about 112 km. The portal also highlights the 19 km from the Penghu Visitor Center to Fenggui Cave as the part suited to older riders and families, with six supply points and a longest gap of about 6 km. Its listed riding time for that part is not used here.

Why these labels

Traffic and path type: Almost all road. On the portal's per-stretch road types, about 103 km of the drawn stretches is mixed traffic (no separation from cars, tour buses and scooters), about 8 km is a slow lane and under 1 km, in Xiyu, is shared walking and cycling path. The section from the Penghu Visitor Center to Fenggui that the portal suggests for families is drawn as mixed traffic. The route uses the bridges linking Magong, Zhongtun, Baisha and Xiyu.

Families: Almost the whole network is mixed traffic on roads, including the 19 km section the portal suggests for families. That is not separated from cars, so this guide does not call it a family ride.

Penghu's national scenic area administration points cyclists to the national cycling portal for recommended routes, and the portal's Juddao (菊島) multi-route is its round-the-islands option. It starts beside the entrance sign of the Penghu National Scenic Area Administration at the Penghu Visitor Center in Magong.

The line runs south from Magong to Fenggui Cave and Shili Beach, east through Huxi past Lintou Park, Longmen and Kuibishan, then north across Zhongzheng Bridge to Zhongtun, through Baisha past the Zhongtun wind farm and the Tongliang banyan, and over to Xiyu for the Daguoye columnar basalt, the East Fort and the West Fort. Points in Magong include Guanyin Pavilion and the Penghu Living Museum.

It is a road ride. The portal marks nearly every stretch as mixed traffic, and the published Penghu Xiyu bike route covers the Xiyu end in more detail.

Who it suits

Experienced riders comfortable on open roads with tour buses and scooters, riding over one or several days. Not for children or riders who want car-free paths.

The route

A ride plan, in order

  1. Penghu Visitor Center (Magong) south to Fenggui Cave and Shili Beach: the 19 km the portal highlights, six supply points.
  2. East through Huxi: Lintou Park, Longmen and the Kuibishan branch.
  3. North over Zhongzheng Bridge to Zhongtun and the wind farm, then through Baisha to Tongliang.
  4. Cross to Xiyu: Daguoye basalt, the East Fort and the West Fort (see the Penghu Xiyu bike route).
  5. Return to Magong the same way, or split the network over several days.

Getting there without a car

  • Per the portal: arrive by ferry at Magong Port, then take the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Penghu Airport Express toward the airport and get off at the Penghu Visitor Center stop. By car, County Road 204 from Magong.
  • Flying in: the Penghu Airport Express also links Penghu (Magong) Airport with Magong.

Bringing your own bike: Bringing a bike to Penghu by plane or ferry depends on each airline and ferry operator. Taiwan Navigation's published vehicle and luggage terms for the Penghu ferry do not mention bicycles; check with your carrier before booking. Whether Penghu buses and the Airport Express carry bikes was not verified.

Toilets, water and food

The portal lists 24 supply points, including the Penghu Visitor Center (toilets, accessible toilets, water, food), police 'bike stations' at Suogang, Longmen, Aimen, Baisha, Jiangmei and Xiyu (toilets and water; Baisha, Jiangmei and Xiyu also first aid and repair), visitor centers at Tongliang, Yuwengdao and the Xiyu West Fort (toilets, accessible toilets, water), Longmen seaside park, Kuibishan, Shanshui Beach and Fenggui Wenwang Temple (toilets), and several convenience stores (toilets, water, food).

Safety and conditions

  • Nearly every stretch is mixed traffic. Expect tour buses and rental scooters, ride single file and use lights in poor visibility.
  • The bridges and coastal roads are exposed. Check the CWA wind forecast before setting out, and walk the bike or turn back in strong gusts.
  • Shade is scarce between villages. Carry plenty of water and sun protection.
  • Wear a properly fitted helmet.
  • Check the Central Weather Administration forecast before you go. Heavy rain, typhoons and earthquakes close paths, river parks and roads, sometimes for weeks.
  • Wear a properly fitted bike helmet, whatever the law says for your bike.
