Overview

Diamond Avenue (Jingang Avenue) is a prominent cycling route located in Changbin Township, Taitung, known for its unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountain range. The path runs through terraced paddy fields that change color from vibrant green to golden yellow depending on the rice harvest season. The absence of utility poles along the road provides an uninterrupted horizon line for photographers. It serves as a quieter alternative to the Chishang Brown Boulevard. The route connects the coastal highway to the base of the mountains, creating a visual effect where the road appears to descend directly into the sea. This region is part of the traditional territory of the Amis indigenous people.

Photo spot

Insider tips

Bring sun protection as there is minimal shade along the open road.

Visit during the golden hour to capture the reflection of the sun on the terraced fields.

Respect local farming activities and refrain from walking into private rice paddies.

What to avoid

Attempting to ride the full length without a bicycle, as the incline toward the mountains can be steep for pedestrians.

Etiquette

Avoid obstructing traffic for photos; stay on the paved path and do not step into farmers' fields.
