Hsinchu Harbor South Coast Scenic Area Introduction
Hsinchu Port South Coastal Scenic Area is located in the northwest of Hsinchu City. Originally a beach area, it was prohibited for swimming due to pollution in recent years. Thus, a vast, beautiful scenic area with abundant recreational facilities has been planned within the embankment, making it a fun spot along the west coast of Hsinchu. The Hsinchu Port South Coastal Scenic Area was planned by a consulting company commissioned by the Tourism Bureau in 2003, with the intention of making it one of the coastal recreational attractions in the western region. The city government then strengthened river management and enhanced public facilities such as walking paths, pavilions, and children's recreation areas according to the planning concept. After significant renovation, the area transformed from being quite barren into a refreshing spot that attracts the public for leisure on weekends. In 2017, the city government actively revitalized the Port South area. The Port South Canal, which is 20 meters wide and 1,500 meters long, is one of the eight major attractions in Hsinchu City. The newly formed land around the canal has undergone years of ecological evolution, creating a diverse and precious ecological environment. The city government plans to introduce various water activities to provide a quality urban recreational green water corridor.
