📍Tamsui Old Street is the busiest area in Tamsui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. It is centered on Zhongzheng Road, stretching from Gongguan Lane in the west to Chongjian Street in the east. Tamsui District is located on the southwest coast of New Taipei City, with the Tamsui River as its main river. Historically, this town was the starting point for the Spanish landing in Taiwan and establishing a maritime trade base in northern Taiwan. It was formerly known as "Huwei" and later renamed "Tamsui," after the Tamsui River. 📍Tamsui Old Street is filled with bustling shops and traditional bakeries selling a variety of Taiwanese pastries. The main snacks include the famous A-Gei, fish balls, and fish crisps. The main attractions in Tamsui District include Fort San Domingo and Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf with the Lover's Bridge. 📍Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf is a popular tourist attraction located at the western end of Tamsui District, New Taipei City. It is situated on the east bank of the Tamsui River estuary and was an important fishing port in northern Taiwan. It was formerly known as Tamsui Second Fishing Port. To improve the fishing port operations and the living environment of the fishing village, the Taiwan Provincial Government selected this location as a multifunctional demonstration fishing port, providing substantial funding and planning the Fisherman's Wharf as a high-quality park that combines fishery development and tourism. It has successfully diversified the functions of the fishing port. 📍Originally just a traditional small fishing port, Fisherman's Wharf now boasts a beautiful floating pier. The most famous attractions are the 330-meter-long boardwalk, the harbor park, and the Lover's Bridge, forming a circular route that allows visitors to fully experience the charm of the fishing port. Standing on the boardwalk, you can enjoy a distant view of Guanyin Mountain and the Taiwan Strait at the mouth of the river. Watching the sunset slowly descend over the horizon is a breathtaking experience that leaves visitors reluctant to leave.🌇

Guandu Temple in Taipei attracts countless visitors with its magnificent architecture and long history. This place is not just a temple, but also a spot where one can feel the blend of religious culture and natural beauty. Early in the morning, I arrived at Guandu Temple. The sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the ancient stone steps, creating a sacred atmosphere. The main deity of Guandu Temple is Mazu, and the intricate carvings and vibrant colors inside the temple are awe-inspiring. Standing in front of the temple, I felt a sense of tranquility, as if it could cleanse the dust from my soul. Inside the temple, the incense was burning vigorously, and the smoke was swirling. Many devotees were praying for peace and success, creating an atmosphere filled with reverence and harmony. I also lit an incense stick, prayed silently, and felt the peace and blessings. After visiting Guandu Temple, I decided to explore the surrounding natural scenery along the trails. The Guandu area is surrounded by beautiful riverbanks and rich ecological resources. I went to Guandu Nature Park, which is an excellent place for bird watching and walking. The park has several trails where you can see various wildlife and plants. Standing on the observation deck, I had a panoramic view of the Tamsui River and Guandu Bridge, and the picturesque scenery was refreshing. Next, I headed to Tamsui Riverside Park, where the bike paths and trails are perfect for exercise and leisure. I rented a bike and rode along the riverbank, enjoying the fresh air and breeze. By the river, I encountered many families and friends, all enjoying their leisurely time. After the tour, I couldn't miss the local delicacies. I found several food stalls in the market near Guandu and tasted the local specialties, including crispy salt and pepper chicken and fresh seafood. Every bite was filled with the flavors of Taipei, leaving a lasting impression. This trip to Guandu Temple and its surroundings allowed me to experience the profound religious culture and the magnificent natural scenery. Whether visiting the temple, strolling in the park, or savoring the food, I felt the unique charm of Taipei. If you have the chance to visit Taipei, Guandu Temple is definitely a place worth visiting, where you can find a piece of tranquility in the bustling city.

Asahi Huuhu This is a shaved ice shop located on the Danshui River promenade It is a shop run by a couple, and one side sells shaved ice and the other side sells crepes. It has a Google rating of 4.6 and many reviews. It is popular with many people because they say that the desserts you can eat while looking at the Danshui River view are so good. It is a place where you have to wait on weekends. The shaved ice sold here is very generous and comes with a lot of toppings. You must try the tree shaved ice that came out during the Christmas season. The matcha flavor is strong, and the red bean topping inside is not sweet at all, and there is also rice cake, so it was so delicious to chew. I highly recommend it to those who are looking for a shaved ice cafe near Danshui River. 📍Location: No. 233-3, Zhongzheng Rd, Tamsui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan 251 ⏰Opening hours: Daily 12:00-20:00 #Emotional Cafe #Taiwan Travel #Danshui Cafe #Taiwan Hot Place
