Wazihwei Nature Reserve is a tranquil coastal wetland at the mouth of the Tamsui River. Visitors can stroll along wooden boardwalks through salt marshes and mudflats, observing migratory birds such as black-faced spoonbills and unique plant species adapted to the saline environment. The reserve offers a peaceful escape from the city, with interpretive signs explaining the ecology. Its location at the river’s edge provides sweeping views of the river mouth and the Taiwan Strait, making it a prime spot for birdwatching and photography.
