While attempting to land on Runway 17R at DEN; a B737 taxied in front of the landing runway on Taxiway ED; which is also Hotspot 1. We did not see the aircraft until about 100 ft. AGL; at the same time Tower directed us to go around. We flew right over the top of the taxiing aircraft. We executed the go around normally and came back around to land uneventfully.
We were on final approach to Runway 17R in DEN. At approximately 200 ft. AGL; we saw an aircraft taxiing in front of us on Taxiway ED - we were low enough that we could see its livery illuminated by our landing lights. After we flew over the top of him; we were directed by Tower to go around at about 100 ft. AGL. We executed an uneventful go around; came around and landed on Runway 16R. The area of Taxiway ED in question is designated as an incursion hotspot on the chart.
