The district of Bali in New Taipei has long been inhabited by indigenous people due to its rich fishing resources and arable riverside plains. It later became a site for migrant settlers and was the earliest commercial port developed at the mouth of the Danshui River. Although it declined due to the silting up of the harbor, it managed to preserve a rich cultural heritage and abundant natural resources. The area presents a distinct appearance compared to the right bank of the Danshui River, making it a popular tourist destination. The Bali Left Bank Bike Path starts from the ferry terminal, passing through the old banyan tree fort, Left Bank Park, Shui Xing Gong, Left Bank Theater, Diguaizui mangrove nature reserve, sewage treatment plant, and the Museum of Thirteen Lanes, stretching approximately 4 kilometers. On weekdays, early mornings and evenings are ideal times for locals to exercise; jogging, walking, or cycling help people escape the hustle and bustle, allowing them to enjoy quiet and comfortable moments. On weekends, the numerous tourists add to the vibrant atmosphere. If one enters from the Erhong Floodgate into the Danshui River gate and crosses to the opposite bank, then heads towards the Guanyin Pit Creek Bridge, it's possible to connect to the Bali Left Bank Bike Path. Along the way, one can admire the Zhongxiao Dock, New Taipei Bridge, and the beautiful scenery of the Happiness Water Park. Since the installation of the adorable Mickey Mouse landscape in the Bali Cultural Park, the Bali Left Bank has become even more lively, attracting many families with children to visit. It's especially suitable for families to rent bicycles together and explore the various scenic spots along the Left Bank. This bike path combines natural education, recreational sports, and beautiful scenery, making it perfect for photography. Bicycles can be rented at both the "Bali Ferry Terminal" and the "Bali Left Bank Dock," allowing tourists to decide where to rent based on their itinerary.
