Along the western coastal highway, after passing through Zhuwei Fish Port heading southward, one can visit the coastal paradise of Old Street Creek and the confluence of Double Creek. The sea is beautiful, the sky is blue, the black-winged stilt gracefully soars, mudskippers blink with their cute eyes, and time slowly turns like the windmills by the shore. Originally an abandoned military base, Xuzuo Port has developed a rich river system and mouth terrain, becoming an ideal habitat for migratory birds. Spanning 961 hectares and stretching 10.5 kilometers, the site was designated as an "Important Wetland (National Level)" by the Ministry of the Interior. Looking out, apart from the cycling path and the elevated boardwalk among mangroves, there are few man-made facilities. At first glance, it might seem ordinary, but in reality, it hides numerous "national treasures"—rich original ecosystems that offer new surprises every visit! Recognized as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International, Xuzuo Port Wetland welcomes many birdwatchers from October to May annually, eagerly anticipating reunions with migratory birds such as black-faced spoonbills, river lapwings, black-winged stilts, and lesser terns. With its intertidal zones, windbreak forests, fish ponds, and rice fields, the wetland serves as a crucial rest stop for birds during their southern migration. Over 200 species of birds have been recorded here, accounting for approximately 41% of Taiwan's 560 total species. Feeding and resting flocks create a tranquil ecological landscape. Binoculars, DSLRs, a respectful attitude of not disturbing wildlife, and leisurely pacing are essential for birdwatching. More than an ideal bird habitat in Taoyuan, Xuzuo Port Wetland also serves as a natural classroom to appreciate intertidal ecology. Plants like Taiwan reed, hackberry trees, and Pteralaixis chinensis, along with amphibians such as the marsh frog and black-eyed toad, as well as many endemic species unique to Taiwan, can all be discovered here.
