Gaomei Wetland located on the south of the mouth of Dajia River is a land mixed with both sand and soil textures and comes in 1,500 acres. That explains why it has complicated yet rich wetland ecology and possesses the largest group of Bolboschoenus planieulmis in Taiwan. Due to diverse geographical features, the species of its ecology is quite abundant. Every year around fall and winter, large flocks of migrating birds would come here for either short or long stay over the winter, serving as the best spot for bird-watching.

Fisherman’s Wharf, formerly known as Tamsui Second Fishing Port, is located at the right bank of the river mouth of Tamsui River and is well known for its sunset. Differing from traditional fixed docks, the dock floats with the tide. It can accommodate 150 fishing boats concurrently, which is very spectacular. Besides enjoying sunset at the Fisherman’s Wharf, visitors can also visit the not-to-be-missed Lover’s Bridge, travel on the blue highway by ferry, enjoy the beautiful fishing port along the wooden boardwalk, or ascend Lover's Tower to enjoy Tamsui scenery.
Walk on Lover’s Bridge to enjoy the sunset and night scene
The 165 meters long famous “Lover’s Bridge” is the landmark of Fisherman’s Wharf. The single-sided cable-stayed bridge that resembles a white sail spans the wharf and connects the boardwalk and the tourist fish market. In the evening, crowds will gather here for the beautiful view as the sun sets over the sea. As night falls, the white bridge transforms into a colorful bridge as light shines on it. It is also one of the must-visit night scenes of Tamsui.

Bali is a small town directly across the Tamsui River. It's slightly less croweded than Tamsui and offers beautiful views of the river, Tamsui and Yangmingshan Mountain (behind Tamsui), but it's otherwise similar in character and feel to Tamsui. The main attraction is the Left Bank Park, which is (strangely enough) on the left bank of the Tamsui River, or to the right as you enter Bali from the ferry terminal.
Left Bank Park is on the left bank of the Tamsui River. It is 280 M long and features Left Bank Conference Hall, Left Bank Pier and the Old Banyan Pillbox. The expansive park has a river view and it is on the Bali Left Bank Bike Trail continuum and there are plenty of places to rent a bicycle.

Tamsui Old Street is divided into the inner and outer side. The outer street is the golden anchor walkway of Tamsui river coast, while the inner side is a traditional old street lined with bustling shops. There are faithfully traditional pastry shops, groceries and stores selling trendy outfits and toys. The popular foods in the area include A Gei, fish ball, fried fish crackers, traditionally baked cake, Granny’s iron eggs, etc. are all must try goodies. In the evening, the beautiful scenery of the sun setting below the ocean horizon can be seen along the golden anchor walkway.
“Traditionally Baked Cake” is made with fresh milk. The rich egg pancake aroma wafts from the oven when taken out. It may look plain in appearance, but the silky texture is unforgettable. It is a local souvenir not to be missed and an extremely popular cuisine in Tamsui with a long waiting line.
The must try local snack “A-Gei” is transliterated partly from the Japanese word of “Oiled Tofu”. Prepared by emptying the center of the Tofu, adding fried clear noodles and soaking in marinade, then sealed off with fish mince and steamed. Sweet sour sauce or secret recipe of the store is poured on top before serving.
