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.

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.
