Coastal Viewing Promenade Introduction
Guanhai Longqi is located in the Waziwei Protected Area in Bali District, New Taipei City, on Lane 87, Section 1, Zhongzheng Road, facing the river mouth. To the right is the Fisherman’s Wharf and to the left is Bali. The total length of the long embankment is 306 meters, located at the top of the Waziwei Lagoon’s river mouth and is the best spot to view both banks of the Tamsui River and the river mouth. There are military defenses nearby, so access was initially prohibited; however, it has since been opened for visitors to enjoy bird watching and sightseeing. Waziwei in Bali and the oil terminal at Tamsui are situated across the vast Tamsui River, where it flows into the Taiwan Strait. Standing on the wooden walkway of Guanhai Longqi, visitors are greeted with a breathtaking view where the sea meets the sky, and along the embankment, there are bilingual ecological plant signage explaining various plants such as saddle vine and cactus. During low tide, visitors can also overlook a multitude of crabs scurrying beneath the embankment, appreciating the wonders of nature’s ecology.
