Hsinchu Port South Coastal Scenic Area Introduction
Hsinchu Port South Coastal Scenic Area is located in the northwest of Hsinchu City. Originally a swimming beach, it has been banned from swimming in recent years due to nearby pollution. As a result, a large, beautifully landscaped recreational area with rich amusement facilities was planned within the embankment, becoming a leisure spot along the west coast of Hsinchu. In 2003, the Tourism Bureau commissioned a consulting firm to plan the area as one of the western coastal recreation spots. The city government then strengthened river improvement projects and built additional public facilities such as walking paths, pavilions, and children's play areas according to the planning ideas. After significant renovation and transformation, the area, which was quite barren before, has been revitalized into a destination for the public to relax on holidays. In 2017, the city government actively revitalized the Port South area. The South Port Canal is 20 meters wide and 1500 meters long, making it one of the eight major attractions in Hsinchu City. The coastal sedimentation area of the canal has gone through years of ecological evolution, creating a diverse and precious ecological environment. The city government plans to introduce various water activities to provide a high-quality urban recreational green water corridor.
