十七公里海岸线
A coastal bike path running from Nanliao Fishing Harbor to Nangang, linking Gangnan Canal, mangroves, Xiangshan Wetland, and sea-viewing spots. It is dubbed one of the Eight Views of Hsinchu.
The 17-km coastline is a coastal tourist zone running from Nanliao Fishing Harbor in the north of Hsinchu City to the bird-watching area of Nangang in the south. The whole route has a bike path and passes Gangnan Canal, Haitian Yixian Seaview Park, the Xiangshan Wetland crab-watching boardwalk, Haishan Fishing Harbor, and other sites. It is known as the 'Eight Scenic Views of the 17-km Hsinchu Coastal Scenic Area.' You can rent a bike at Nanliao or Gangnan and ride the whole route in about 1.5 to 2 hours. The path is flat and suitable for families with children. The coast is windy and sunny, so bring sunscreen and a jacket, and avoid midday in summer. The map coordinates refer to the bike path around Gangnan.
