Xiaozu Fishing Port Introduction
Within the bustling Taipei Port, there lies a small fishing harbor that feels like a serene sanctuary, known as the Xia Guzi Fishing Harbor. This lesser-known gem in Bali is situated within a designated area of Taipei Port and is classified as a second-class fishing port. The harbor primarily hosts fishing vessels from nearby Taoyuan and Tamsui. In recent years, cycling tourism along the banks of the Tamsui River has flourished. The left bank cycling path of Bali stretches approximately 16 kilometers from the estuary of Guanyin Keng Creek to Xia Guzi Fishing Harbor, passing by notable spots such as the Guandu Bridge, Bali Ferry Terminal, Wedding Square, and the Waziwei Ecological Preservation Area and Shisanhang Museum, combining culture, ecology, and historical sites, making it a rare cycling oasis in the urban jungle. At Xia Guzi Fishing Harbor, visitors can observe traditional blue-skinned fishing boats. Facing west, it has become one of the best spots to admire the sunset. As the sun sets, the view across the harbor and the Western Coastal Highway casts beautiful reflections on the tranquil waters, creating a breathtaking sunset performance that leaves visitors in awe at this quaint fishing harbor.
