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.

Wazihwei Nature Reserve

Shaped like a scoop, the Wazihwei Nature Reserve comprises an estuarine lagoon area between the Tamsui River and Taiwan Strait. It is an important ecological nursery for mangroves and kandelia obovat, as well as an abundance of other wildlife plants and animals, such as egrets, mudskipper and fiddler crabs. It is a great outing choice for the whole family and couples!

Houtong Cat Bridge

The Cat Bridge was originally a pedestrian bridge for local residents after the construction of Houtong Train Station in 1970. After the place became famous as "Cat Village" in 2009, increasing tourists have relied on the pedestrian bridge of the train station to proceed to the Cat Village and Houtong Coal Mine Ecological Park.
