The Siraya National Scenic Area Administration, Tourism Bureau, MOTC, will hold the “2022 Siraya Cycling Activity – Reservoir Cycling” at Guantian Visitor Center on November 12–13. You can register now on the ACCUPASS website. Three different routes are planned: Guantian Visitor Center to 175 Coffee Road (77K)
Guantian Visitor Center to Wusanto Reservoir (23K)
Guantian Visitor Center to Hatta Yoichi Memorial Park (10K)
 You can choose the route that best suits your interests. Part of the event connects the Mountains to Sea National Greenway and the Tainan Loop Route. Participants will receive a Mountains to Sea National Greenway Commemorative Ring Buckle and a Siraya Scarf. Discount coupons will also be available for use at the market and shops along the route. We sincerely invite cycling enthusiasts from across Taiwan, as well as parents looking for a fun-filled holiday with their children.

Siraya is home to many reservoir, each with unique historical and cultural significance. The three cycling routes all pass through the Mountains to Sea National Greenway—specifically Dazhen Road (MSTW07). This route bears witness to the development of water conservancy projects during the Japanese occupation and the contributions of Hatta Yoichi to Taiwan's water infrastructure. The transformation of the Chianan Plain from dry farmland to a fertile region has enabled the cultivation of crops like Tainan rice and Guantian water chestnuts. Through this cycling event, we hope more people will recognize the importance of southern Taiwan’s water resources.

The Guantian Visitor Center to Hatta Yoichi Memorial Park (10K) route features guided introductions to Guantian Visitor Center and opportunities to create lasting memories. To enhance the experience, we offer live performances, a grassland market, and sunshade equipment rentals. There will also be photo spots designed in the shape of donuts. The journey concludes at Hatta Yoichi Memorial Park, where visitors can admire Japanese-style dormitory buildings and cultural landmarks. Activities include wagash -making, tea ceremonies, and guqin performances, allowing tourists to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Taiwan during the Japanese occupation while enjoying peaceful moments. The total value of the package exceeds NT$1,000, but now, you can experience it all for just NT$150—far beyond expectations!

The director of the Siraya National Scenic Area Administration noted that the region boasts abundant reservoir landscapes perfect for cycling, walking, and family-friendly explorations during holidays. In an effort to showcase the beauty of cycling in the Siraya precinct, the Guantian Visitor Center to 175 Coffee Road (77K) route integrates part of the Mountains to Sea National Greenway, a scenic stretch from Mt. Jade to the sea that traces historical paths and cultural heritage. Along the way, participants can enjoy locally brewed Dongshan coffee.

Additionally, the Guantian Visitor Center to Wusanto Reservoir (23K) route highlights natural ecology and historical sites. Cyclists may spot Pheasant-tailed Jacanas dancing in rice paddies and admire the Chishan Longhuyan Temple, a blend of traditional Chinese temple architecture and Baroque-style influences from the Japanese occupation period—an incredible testament to cultural fusion.

The Siraya Cycling Activity – Reservoir Cycling is an annual event aimed at helping cycling enthusiasts discover Siraya’s diverse landscapes and enjoy this welcoming region.
