Introduction

Hemei Fishing Port is located near Sandiaojiao on the Northeastern Coast in New Taipei City. The coastline here is relatively uncomplicated. Due to the sinking and unequal uplift of the coast, coupled with the influence of the northeast monsoon, cliffs created by sea erosion are common here.

From Jinshan to Sandiaojiao Coast, the stratigraphic trend is orthogonal to the coast, and the erosion effect of seawater is significant. The softer parts of the rocks have been eroded to form bays, where sand accumulates to become beaches. The hard parts of the rocks protrude from the sea to form capes. Interlacing bays and capes make the coastal landscape here the most versatile in Taiwan.

How to Get There

Choose a transportation method based on your departure location.

ShueiNanDong Golden Waterfall

The “Golden Waterfall is located right beside the road at ShueiNanDong. One can see water gushing out from underground. After seeping through mining areas and contacting with sulfur, arsenic and copper ores, the redox and iron synthesis transformed the water into a golden acidic mineral water with a tint of orange. Seen from afar it looks like a gigantic wall of golden rock cliff, reputed as the “Golden Waterfall” by later generations for the spectacle.

Hsinwang Shu Ceramics Memorial Museum

The “Hsinwang Shu Ceramics Memorial Museum” on Yingge Old Street is the first tourism factory in Yingge to pass central government evaluation. Since its establishment in 1926, not only were a lot of historical artifacts preserved, but also the antiquated gas kiln, turning bowl machine, kicking pulley and other pottery making equipment from an earlier time. After transforming it into a tourism site, it began selling pottery products that are more “lively and creative”. There is also a professional DIY pottery making course on site, such as the popular hand-thrown pottery course, or the baby exclusive hands and feet press DIY work. The instructors are all passionate and friendly, and are loved by kids and parents alike!
