Shezi Island Wetland Introduction
The Shozi Island Wetland, as its name suggests, is located at the junction of the Keelung River and the Tamsui River. Although the area is only 1 hectare, it truly offers a great view at the "head" of the island! This area was created by the Taipei City Government using the dredged soil from the Keelung River to fill in the wetland. The land is covered with lush green grass, and stone paths and wooden walkways have been built to facilitate access to the viewing platform for the public. The viewing platform is always crowded with anglers, and it is also an excellent spot to observe the meeting and flowing into the sea of the Keelung River and the Tamsui River. The scenery offers a panoramic view of 270 degrees, with the bustling Guandu Temple to the right, striking Guandu Bridge ahead, and the majestic Guanyin Mountain to the left. Occasionally, little egrets fly by, adding charm to this picturesque landscape! To the left of the platform is a dense mangrove wetland, echoing the wetlands of Guandu Nature Park across the river. During low tide, you can spot mud crabs peeking out from their burrows, composing a symphony of mangrove ecology.
