Hsinchu Port South Coastal Scenic Area Introduction
Hsinchu Harbor South Coastal Scenic Area is located in the northwest of Hsinchu City. Originally a beach for swimming, it has been closed for water activities due to nearby pollution in recent years. Instead, a vast and beautiful scenic area with abundant recreational facilities has been planned within the levee, making it a popular spot along Hsinchu's western coastal line. The planning of the Hsinchu Harbor South Coastal Scenic Area was commissioned by the Tourism Bureau to a consulting company in 2003, categorizing the area as one of the western coastal recreational spots. The city government subsequently strengthened river management and added public facilities such as walkways, pavilions, and children's play areas according to the planning concepts. After significant renovation and improvement, the area transformed from a desolate state into a vibrant destination for relaxation on weekends. In 2017, the city government actively revitalized the South Harbor. The South Harbor Canal is 20 meters wide and 1,500 meters long, recognized as one of Hsinchu's top eight attractions. The canal's coastal wetlands have evolved through years of ecological changes, creating a diverse and precious ecological environment. The city government plans to introduce various water activities, providing a high-quality urban recreational green corridor.
