Gaomei Wetlands / Gaomei Wildlife Refuge Introduction
Gaomei Wetlands Tidal Forecast Although Gaomei Wetlands is not large in size, it boasts a combination of muddy and sandy beaches, along with the integration of river estuaries and marshlands, which have nurtured a rich and complex wetland ecosystem. It currently hosts the largest population of bulrushes (Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani) in Taiwan, forming a complex terrain with alternating wet and dry areas and plant growth. Due to its variable terrain, the ecosystem is quite intricate, primarily consisting of birds, fish, crabs, and other invertebrates. Each year during autumn and winter, a large number of migratory birds visit, whether for a brief rest or to winter, adding a diverse ecological appearance to Gaomei Wetlands and making it a new hotspot for birdwatchers. The Gaomei Bicycle Path runs along the Qingshui Drain and the seawall to Gaomei Wetlands, stretching 3.3 kilometers from the coastal bridge in the south to the flood prevention road at Gaomei Seawall in the north. It is adjacent to the Qingshui Drain and Gaomei Wetlands, providing a panoramic view of the entire area and serving as an excellent spot for birdwatching and sunset viewing. In the future, visitors will also be able to gaze at the wind turbines under construction on the western coast, making it a great place for tourists to relax and enjoy.
