Wazihwei Wetlands Nature Reserve Introduction

Wazihwei Natural Ecological Reserve is a 30-hectare ecological protection area, named "Wazih" due to its curving coastline. The lagoon-like terrain provides a suitable growth environment for mangroves, making it the largest mangrove area on the left bank of the Tamsui River. The primary conservation targets at Wazihwei are the Avicennia marina (also known as black mangrove) and the diverse flora and fauna associated with it. One of the most beautiful sights in the reserve is the lush green Avicennia marina and the blue boats resting on the sandy beaches. In addition to Avicennia marina, visitors can observe precious wetland ecosystems at Wazihwei, which include various estuarine plants such as mangroves and Caulerpa, as well as reeds. During the daily tides, various creatures can be seen, including mudskippers, fiddler crabs, nerita, and barnacles. This location is also an important bird-watching spot in northern Taiwan during the autumn and winter seasons, hosting numerous species of migratory and resident birds. The coastal viewing platform provides a great vantage point to overlook Guanyin Mountain. Wazihwei Natural Ecological Reserve serves as an excellent natural geography classroom with a bike path, allowing visitors to cycle while enjoying the scenery. Along the way, there are many interpretive signs about the natural ecology, making it educational. It is common to see families here gathering material for assignments. Entering the coastal viewing platform in the northern area of Wazihwei offers a broad view of beautiful landscapes including the Bali Water Sports Center, Guanyin Mountain, and Tamsui.
