Hsinchu Harbor South Coastal Scenic Area Introduction
Hsinchu Port South Coastal Scenic Area is located in the northwest of Hsinchu City. Originally a beach for swimming, it has been closed to swimming due to recent pollution in the area. Instead, a vast and beautiful recreational area with abundant amusement facilities has been planned within the embankment, serving as a recreational spot along Hsinchu's western coastline. The area was planned as one of the Western Coastal Recreational Area attractions in 2003 by a consulting company commissioned by the Tourism Bureau. Following the plan, the city government strengthened river management and constructed public facilities such as walking paths, pavilions, and children's play areas. After significant renovation, the previously barren area has been revitalized, becoming a popular spot for relaxation on weekends. In 2017, the city government actively revamped the South Port area, where the South Port Canal is 20 meters wide and 1500 meters long, making it one of Hsinchu City's top eight attractions. The ecologically reclaimed land along the canal has transformed over the years to create a diverse and precious ecological environment. The city government will introduce various water activities to provide a high-quality urban recreational green corridor.
