Seventeen Kilometer Coastal Scenic Area Introduction
The 17-Kilometer Coast Scenic Area refers to the coastline of Hsinchu City, stretching approximately 17 kilometers from 南寮 (Nánliáo) in the north to 南港 (Nángǎng) in the south. It is a water-accumulated coastline, and the thousands of hectares of intertidal zones make it the largest coastal wetland in northern Taiwan, breeding a large number of shrimp, crabs, and shellfish. The scenic area is planned with eight major zones, including Hsinchu Fishing Port Recreational Fishing Boat Dock, Sea Viewing Park, Horizon Sea View Area, Gangnan Canal, Charming Coast, Mangrove Park, Haishan Fishing Port Viewing Platform (including rest and dining activities), and Nángǎng Birdwatching Area. Additionally, there are plans for a sailing sports park, Nánliáo Recreational Old Port, Environmental Leisure Park, Hsinchu City Nursery, Sea Viewing Park, Environmental Education Center, Gangnan Coastal Scenic Area, Jincheng Lake Birdwatching Area, Kejia Water Resource Treatment Center, Xiangshan Wetland Natural Ecological Area, Nángǎng Crescent-shaped White Sand Bay, Wind Power Plant, five characteristic bicycle bridges, and the blue sea route from Nánliáo Fishing Port to Haishan Fishing Port. This allows visitors to enjoy delicious food, beautiful scenery, recreation, sports, and cultural tours during their travels, making the 17-Kilometer Coast Scenic Area a famous leisure and tourism destination in Taiwan.
