Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf is located on the right bank of the Tamsui River estuary, formerly known as the Tamsui Second Fishing Harbor, and is famous for its stunning sunset views. Unlike traditional fixed piers, this wharf can float up and down with the tide, accommodating up to 150 fishing boats at a time, making it a breathtaking sight. When visiting Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf, in addition to watching the sunset, you must visit the iconic Lover's Bridge, take a ferry ride on the Blue Highway, or stroll along the wooden plank road to take in the scenery of the fishing harbor. You can also climb the Lover's Tower to overlook the Tamsui landscape.
Walking on Lover's Bridge, watching the sunset and night view, as you enter Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf, you'll see the famous "Lover's Bridge" in the distance. The 165-meter-long bridge features a sleek, single-faced cable-stayed design that spans the harbor, with a white sail-like shape that catches the eye, connecting the wooden plank road to the tourist fish market. Every evening, you can see a large crowd gathering here to wait for the beautiful sunset view of the sun sinking into the ocean. When night falls, the white bridge surface is even more colorful under the light, making it a must-see night view in Tamsui.
Strolling, eating seafood, and drinking coffee, after crossing Lover's Bridge, enter the tourist fish market in the park, where travelers can choose freshly caught seafood and have it cooked by the store, and then visit the diverse shops and art street to purchase various creative gifts. The wooden plank road and seawall coffee along the pier are also great spots for couples to date.
