Photo Gallery

The walking routes of this year’s event are set in the scenic Tamsui (淡水) area. Tamsui, a hidden gem in the northern part of Greater Taipei, is renowned for its captivating blend of riverside landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and breathtaking coastal scenery.

Participants will enjoy an immersive journey featuring a series of iconic landmarks, including the panoramic Guandu Bridge (關渡大橋), the breezy Tamsui Golden Waterfront (淡水金色水岸), the vibrant Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭), and, in particular, the magnificent Tamsui–Bali Bridge (淡江大橋), currently the world’s longest single-tower asymmetric cable-stayed bridge. The route also includes the scenic Bali Left Bank Park (八里左岸公園), the culturally significant Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology (十三行博物館), and the historic Fort San Domingo (紅毛城).

The majority of the routes are flat and well-paved, with minimal elevation gain (generally below 300 meters), ensuring a comfortable experience for participants. The use of trekking poles is optional but recommended for added support over longer distances.
