Coastal Watching Promenade Introduction
Guanhai Longpier is located in the Waziwei Protection Area in Bali District, New Taipei City, at Alley 87, Section 1, Chongjang Road. It faces the river mouth, with the Fisherman’s Wharf on the right and Bali on the left. The pier is 306 meters long and is the mouth of the Waziwei lagoon, making it the best spot to view both sides of the Tamsui River and the river mouth. Access to Guanhai Longpier was initially restricted due to military presence in the area, but it has since been opened for visitors to enjoy watching the waves, bird watching, and appreciating the scenery. Waziwei in Bali and the Tamsui Oil Terminal are situated across the Tamsui River’s northern and southern banks, where the mighty Tamsui River flows into the Taiwan Strait. Standing on the wooden walkway of Guanhai Longpier, visitors are treated to a breathtaking view where the sea meets the sky. Along the pier, there are bilingual ecological plant signage that explains species such as the Saddle Vine and Cactus. During low tide, visitors can also overlook the numerous crabs scurrying below the pier, offering a glimpse into the wonders of nature.
