      Introduction

      Anchor point
      Shimen is surrounded by mountains and is next to the sea with beautiful natural environment. Baisha Bay, a natural ocean spot located between Fuguijiao Lighthouse and Linshanbi Cape, with a shallow and clear shore, randomly distributed sand dunes on the beach and clear sea water like a mirror is called "Taiwan Kamakura," Having the capacity of thousands of people swimming in the area makes the place packed with "tourists" during hot summer days, making for a lively hustle and bustle beach! Down the way, the popular tourist's attraction, Shimen Wedding Plaza, where quite many newlyweds come to shoot wedding photos has a great natural landscape. Next, walk on the Fuguijiao Trail to take a stroll along the coast and when looking upward, it's easy to see Taiwan's northernmost Fuguijia Lighthouse, really famous, for it's being a sailing compass point. Besides, the ocean tide eroded stone gate, which is nicknamed as the "Shimen Cave” is seen in the distance, opposite the lighthouse. Going to the east along the coast, the unique Laomei Reef will come into view. The most famous landscape to visit is the reef during April and May. The reef that is full of green algae creates a stunning green reef landscape with an emerald tone. About 800 thousand years ago, when Mt. Zhuzi erupted, lava that was spewed out landed everywhere. The cooled magma formed a special valley terrain in the Shimen region. The lava that gushed out rushed to the seashore near Laomei and thus formed a special terrain and landscape along the Laomei coast. Lastly, be sure to have a seafood feast as a perfect ending of the trip. Fresh seafood is available at the Fuji Fishing Port where visitors can choose one restaurant on the seafood street to satisfy their palates.

        One-day literary youth in Tamsui. Have a crazy summer night at Fisherman Stage!
        No fear for the heat and no fear for the sweat – summer is the time to go all out! How can literary youth not know about Tamsui Chongjian Street?! Chongjian Street, which is one block away from Tamsui Old Street, is actually the earliest developed business street. It had once lost its glory, but has been rebuilt over the recent years under active promotion of local residents. Integrating old architecture, history, humanities, culture, and performance, as well as Taiwan’s only stair market that takes place every month, Chongjian Street has been revitalized and reborn into a popular attraction for literary youths. On the other hand, there is also Tamsui Customs Wharf, also a top tourist site after it’s re-opening in 2018, which is filled with an artistic ambiance with all kinds of exhibitions and installation art. Along with the vintage red-brick architecture, visitors can easily take gorgeous pictures while learning about the history. Fisherman Stage, which centers on Taiwan’s original music, arts and markets, will take place on August 4th through 25th in 2019. If you’d like to enjoy the night breeze and gourmet food while listening to Taiwan’s music, don’t miss this great opportunity! After listening to the spectacular musical feast, it’s highly recommended to take a stroll at the Fisherman’s Wharf nearby – the snowy white Lover’s Bridge will show its fantastical beauty unseen during daytime after the light sculpture is illuminated at night!
