Add to My Favourites

In 2024, we aim to bring this prestigious sporting event to Sun Moon Lake - one of the world's renowned cycling routes. We want friends from both domestic and international communities to come together on this land, experiencing the charm of the Tour de France.

Sun Moon Lake is Taiwan's largest natural lake, with its water originating from Mount Hehuan.

Its picturesque landscape, with rolling mountains and shimmering lake waters, resembles a green gem set in the land.
This year's Tour de France Challenge will feature a route meticulously designed by Tour de France route experts from France, ensuring international race standards are met at Sun Moon Lake. The event will blend local elements of Sun Moon Lake with the style of the Tour de France, creating a Tour de France feast unique to this region!
