Gaomei Wetland tide forecast
Although Gaomei Wetland is not large, its mix of muddy and sandy flats, together with the adjoining estuarine marshes, nurtures a rich and complex wetland ecosystem. It harbors the largest known population of Yunlin grass (Bolboschoenus planiculmis) in Taiwan, creating a mosaic of wet and dry terrain interlaced with vegetation. This varied topography supports an equally complex array of life: birds, fish, crabs, and many other invertebrates. Every autumn and winter, great flocks of migratory birds stop here—some for a brief rest, others to overwinter—adding new ecological color to Gaomei and turning the area into a fresh destination for bird-watchers.
The Gaomei Bikeway follows the Qingshui Drain and the seawall to Gaomei Wetland, running 3.3 km from Binhai Bridge in the south to the Gaomei seawall flood-prevention road in the north. With the Qingshui Drain and the wetland right beside it, riders can look down on the entire wetland, enjoy bird-watching, and watch the sunset. In the future, visitors will also be able to gaze at the offshore wind-turbine farm under construction on the western coast—making this bikeway an ideal place to relax and sightsee.
