Last year, Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je completed the ride from "Fugui Cape Lighthouse to Eluanbi Lighthouse" in 28 hours, successfully conquering the "Cycling Dual-Towers in One Day" challenge, sparking a cycling craze in the biking community. But the one-day dual-towers mission, which is tough for most people to complete, now has an "easy version" in Taipei City—a "Taipei Dual-Towers Lite" that can be conquered in just 2 hours. Launched by the social enterprise JoiiUp (a company promoting healthy exercise), the "JoiiSports Taipei Dual-Towers" event invites Taipei residents and tourists to use the JoiiSports app to take on the challenge at an average speed of under 20 km/h from now until May 9. Participants will follow Nanjing East-West Road through the "Towers" City Street and "Towers" Leisure Road, experiencing Taipei’s unique cultural history and local culinary culture on foot.

City TravelXA New Light Exercise Route is Born Complete the "Taipei One-Day Dual-Towers" in Two Hours!
The "Taipei Dual-Towers" refer to "Tower City Street" in Datong District and "Tower Leisure Road" in Songshan District. The route connecting the two towers is Nanjing East-West Road in Taipei, which runs from west to east and showcases four distinct vibes: historical culture, tourism, urban finance, and everyday life. Not only does it invite citizens to deeply experience urban culture through light exercise, but it also offers foreign visitors a new way to explore Taipei City. Via the JoiiSports app, participants can choose either Tower Leisure Road or Tower City Street as their starting point and take on the Taipei Dual-Towers challenge on foot, by bike, or via YouBike, all at an average speed below 20 km/h.
