Guandu Pier Introduction
Guandu, originally named Gando Men, is backed by Guanyin Mountain and Datun Mountain, facing the Tamsui River, making it a strategically significant port. In the early days, immigrants entered northern Taiwan and began cultivation through Guandu Pier, leading to the early development of Guandu. However, as sediment accumulated at the mouths of the two rivers (Keelung River and Tamsui River), water transportation gradually declined. Guandu Pier is located next to Guandu Nature Park and Guandu Temple. On holidays and evenings, visitors can be seen walking and resting around Guandu Pier, with many cyclists coming from Bali via Guandu Bridge or from Tamsui. The scenic beauty along the way makes it an excellent spot for sightseeing.
