Miaoli must-see attractions! Old Mountain Line Rail Bike
➤ The most beautiful railway scenery in Miaoli, finally came to pilgrimage
!
⠀⠀
A half-day trip to Miaoli Shengxing Station. First, taste Hakka food and snacks in the old street near Shengxing Station, then walk and take photos on the tracks on the old train station, and finally take the most popular #OldMountainLineRailBike!
⠀
This electric bicycle ride on the old rails has three old rail routes to choose from. This time we took Route A, which departs from Shengxing Station. It is also the most classic and beautiful route: starting from Shengxing Station, passing the northern section of Longteng Broken Bridge and Yutengping Iron Bridge, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way of the highest railway station on the Western Longitudinal Railway.
⠀
The sound of the rails and the gentle breeze make it a comfortable ride even in summer. The highlight is that when you ride your bike across the Yutengping Iron Bridge, the view from the sky is so spectacular. Afterwards, a professional guide will take the tourists to the secret place of the South Broken Bridge and quickly introduce the history and reasons of the Broken Bridge to everyone.
⠀
Finally, don’t forget the Broken Bridge Crackers (Nt.38), which are only available at the station. The strawberry condensed milk flavor is worth taking home as a souvenir!

Advance reservation is recommended
The Old Mountain Line Rail Bike is very popular. Although there are tickets for the site and waiting list, there are really not many tickets available. It is strongly recommended to make a reservation on the official website or ibon a week in advance.
⠀
Seat restrictions
The number of people in a car is four. If you don't want to ride with others (two people will definitely be combined), it is recommended that you gather four people before entering
⠀
Electric Vehicles
In fact, although it is called a bicycle, the vehicle is actually a modified version of an electric car, so it can be driven easily. The driver is responsible for the accelerator, and the passengers in the other seats can just enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you still want to experience the thrill of riding your own bike, you can, but you must pay attention to the speed of riding to avoid being hit by the car behind you.
⠀
luggage
If you have a backpack or small items bought in the old street, there is a locker under the seat area where you can put them. Although the space is not large, small items can still be placed. There is also a small storage basket on the armrest to place small items, such as mobile phones and drinks.
