Taijiang Cycling Humanities Tour
In the area near Haiqigu and Annan on the west side of Tainan City, it used to be the inland sea of Taijiang River. Now the sea water has receded, leaving behind many sandbanks, wetlands and lagoons, creating a rich ecology and landscape, and is a place for in-depth tourists to explore. From the perspective of pursuing history, I rode from Anping, Tainan to the estuary of Luermen Creek to appreciate how Zheng Chenggong used the tide to enter the Luermen Port Road to drive away the Dutch people in the 17th century, and visited the Luermen Tianhou Palace and the Orthodox Luermen Holy Mother Temple. In addition to sincerely visiting, we also understand the historical memories left here after the flooding of the two traditional temples of Luermen. From a geographical perspective, you can follow the path between the lagoon and wetland to the western point of Taiwan. In addition to the endless dunes of the Shazhou, here also stands next to it, the Guosheng Port Lighthouse, which is the westmost lighthouse on Taiwan's island and is also a must-see attraction around the island at the four poles of bicycles. In addition, in terms of ecology, the wetland from the western point of Taiwan to the south to the mouth of Zengwenxi River is the habitat of black-faced spoonbills for conservation animals in Taiwan. This is also a black-faced spoonbill reserve. Of course, in addition to the black-faced spoonbill, the wetland is rich in ecology and sufficient food, which is loved by migratory birds, so it must be an excellent place for birds to observe. Not to mention the unique landscapes formed by mangroves like the Four Grass Green Tunnel, which are very worth exploring through bicycle travel.
