Coastal Viewing Promenade Introduction
The Guanhai Long Dyke is located within the Wazihwei Protected Area in Bali District, New Taipei City, at Lane 87, Section 1, Zhongzheng Road. It faces the river mouth, with Fisherman’s Wharf to its right and Bali to its left. The dyke stretches a total of 306 meters and is the endpoint of the Wazihwei Lagoon's river mouth, making it the best spot to view both sides of the Tamsui River and the estuary. There is a military defense near Guanhai Long Dyke, thus entry was initially prohibited, but it has since been opened for people to observe waves, birdwatch, and enjoy the scenery. Wazihwei in Bali and the Youchekou area of Tamsui look across the Tamsui River, where the mighty Tamsui River flows into the Taiwan Strait. Standing on the wooden plank road of the Guanhai Long Dyke, visitors can enjoy the magnificent scenery where the sea and sky meet. Along the dyke, there are bilingual ecological plant signs explaining species such as Ephedra and cacti. During low tide, one can also overlook the numerous mud crabs scurrying below the dyke, appreciating the beauty of nature’s ecology.
