Heading north along the Tamsui River, Pokémon GO enthusiasts can explore three official routes in the North Coast: Tamsui, Sanzhi, and Jinshan. The Tamsui route, known for its stunning natural scenery and cultural allure, is one of Northern Taiwan's most attractive routes. It starts at the Fisherman's Wharf, the terminal station of the Tamhai Light Rail. Here, the harbor stage, the first of its kind in Taiwan, welcomes visitors. The Lovers’ Bridge, resembling a graceful white sailboat, is a popular landmark for strolling and photography, especially during sunset.
The Sanzhi route highlights the breathtaking Zhilan Park Ocean Viewing Platform, a wave-like blue corridor stretching toward the sea. Walking along the platform feels like standing amidst the ocean, with a massive wedding ring installation offering 360-degree panoramic sea views—making it a dream destination for photography enthusiasts. Nearby, Qianshuiwan Beach Park boasts a wide sandy beach where visitors can relax and enjoy the coastal scenery. The surrounding cafes, each with its unique style, provide the perfect setting for a leisurely day by the sea.
The Jinshan route begins at Jinbaoli Old Street, renowned for its duck soup, peanut brittle, and tender sweet potatoes. The Zhongshan Hot Spring Park, harmoniously integrated with the natural landscape, offers not only rejuvenating hot springs but also stunning seasonal views. With fine mineral-rich spring water, you can unwind and indulge in complete relaxation, whether soaking in the hot springs or enjoying a refreshing hydrotherapy session.
The Shifen route takes visitors deep into poetic mountain scenery. Accessible via the Pingxi Line train, this area features a charming old street and traditional architecture that feel like a journey through time. The Shifen Visitor Center’s sky lantern exhibition highlights the craftsmanship and cultural significance of these iconic lanterns. Adventurous visitors can continue to Shifen Waterfall, marveling at the spectacular cascade surrounded by lush greenery.
