Guandu Wharf Introduction
Guandu was originally named Gandoumen. It is backed by Guanyin Mountain and Datun Mountain, facing the Tamsui River, making it a strategically important port. In the early days, immigrants entered northern Taiwan and developed the area through Guandu Dock. Therefore, the development of Guandu began early, but with the sediment accumulation at the estuaries of the two rivers (Keelung River and Tamsui River), water transportation gradually declined. Guandu Dock is located next to Guandu Nature Park and Guandu Temple. On weekends or at night, visitors can often be seen strolling and resting around Guandu Dock. Many cyclists also come from Bali via the Guandu Bridge or from Tamsui, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, making it an excellent spot for sightseeing.
