Guandu Pier Introduction
Guandu, originally named Gandoumen, is situated at a strategically important port, backed by Guanyin Mountain and Datun Mountain, and facing the Tamsui River. In the early days, immigrants entered northern Taiwan and began cultivation through Guandu Wharf, leading to the early development of Guandu. However, due to sediment accumulation at the estuaries of two rivers (Keelung River and Tamsui River), water transport gradually declined. Guandu Wharf is located next to Guandu Nature Park and Guandu Temple, and during weekends or at night, tourists can often be seen strolling and resting around the wharf. Many cyclists also come from Bali via the Guandu Bridge or from Tamsui, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, making it an excellent location for sightseeing.
