Dahan River
Dahan River
The Dahan River is a 135km-long waterway that flows through Hsinchu County, Taoyuan, and New Taipei City before joining the Xindian River to form the Tamsui River. Travelers visit this area to access the riverside paths and view the natural scenery along the river's course.
Getting There
Access to the river varies depending on the specific section visited. From central Taipei, you can reach the lower reaches of the river via the MRT or local bus networks. Travel time typically ranges from 30 to 60 minutes depending on your starting point and the destination segment of the river.
Time Requirement
Depending on whether you are walking a short section of the riverside trail or cycling, allow 2 to 4 hours to explore the scenery and paths.
When to Visit
The riverside is best visited during the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. The autumn and winter months offer more temperate weather for outdoor activities. Like many public riverside spaces, these areas can become crowded on weekends and public holidays.

The river's proximity to other sites allows for combined itineraries. Nearby locations include:
- Xindian River (0.5km)
- Bangka Lungshan Temple (2.1km)
- Bangka Qingshan Temple (2.3km)
