To get a panoramic view of the vast landscape of Puzih River Estuary Wetland, there is no better place than Dongshi Bridge. Standing on the bridge, you can witness the spectacular estuarine scenery, and if you happen to visit during low tide, the sandbars emerge, revealing precious ecological sights. The ecosystem here mainly consists of estuarine intertidal zones, mudflats, riverine mangroves, and oyster racks. Among them, the southern endemic Bruguiera gymnorrhiza mangroves and the often-seen fiddler crabs in the wetland are notable highlights worth exploring at Puzih River Estuary Wetland. To enhance visitors' understanding of the ecology of the Puzih River Estuary Wetland, birdwatching and sightseeing facilities have been built along the riverbanks, along with many fun and cute interpretative boards that help guests learn about the local flora and fauna distribution.
