Biking along the Danshui River

The city of Taipei sits in a basin surrounded by mountains in the northern part of Taiwan. In the Taipei basin there are three rivers, The Danshui, Keelung, and Xindian. They all merge with the Danshui river and flow to the ocean. At the mouth of this river is Danshui city. Following the river from Taipei to Danshui is a bike trail and park system. So, this Saturday, me and some friends rented bikes in Danshui and biked along the river. It was beautiful and quite scenic. I would like to buy a bike of my own, but for now, I'm content with renting them for $4 a day.
