Whether you're taking a yacht ride to enjoy the scenic views of the Tamsui River or strolling along the Lover's Bridge while feeling the sea breeze, every moment here is incredibly relaxing. Besides boat rides, there's also a large beach next to the wharf where you can play in the water, take photos, or feel the sand beneath your feet.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 This was a foreign missionary who made significant contributions to Taiwan's medical care and education. His name was George Leslie Mackay, whose Chinese name was Xie Ruili. Taiwanese people called him "Mackay", "Dr. Mackay" or "Reverend Mackay". Dr. Mackay was a Canadian of Scottish descent. He arrived in Taiwan by ship on September 3, 1872. He then practiced medicine and preached in Taiwan and married a local woman. In 2001, the town of Tamsui erected a stone statue for him and named one of the streets in Tamsui Mackay Street. June 2 of each year is designated as Mackay Day to commemorate Dr. Mackay's dedication and love for Taiwan. (20211112)

If you come to Tamsui, it would be a shame not to visit the Tamsui Wharf. The pier is lively and leisurely during the day, and the music of street performers flows in the air, making people slow down unconsciously. Evening is the most charming moment here - the setting sun slowly sets, dyeing the entire river surface golden orange, which is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. Finding a cafe to sit down and watch the sunset, or just daydreaming on a bench, are the little happiness that belongs to Tamsui. Coming here, eating A Gei is like a ritual. Crispy fried tofu is stuffed with glass noodles and drizzled with sweet and spicy sauce. When you take a bite, the taste in your memory comes back instantly - this is the unique taste of Tamsui. Although Big Mac ice cream is not my cup of tea, the stacked shape is super eye-catching. Holding it in your hand feels like holding the halo of the protagonist. Taking photos and checking in will get you 100 points! The charm of Tamsui may be hidden in these simple and warm moments. Next time you want to slow down, why not come back to Tamsui for a walk? #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Tamsui, Taiwan is a seaside port city that is easy to travel to, only 1 hour from Taipei. When we went, it was drizzling, making the weather cool and comfortable, not hot. And luckily, the rain stopped just as the sun was setting, so we still had a chance to see the sunlight. Overall, very impressive. ❤️🔅 Activities: Walk or cycle along the route from Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf to Tamsui Golden Anchor. Choose the time during sunset, the atmosphere is the best, forget about being tired. ☺️🔅 We spent about 2 hours in Tamsui. You can walk around, cycle around and have a simple dinner here. Actually, we planned to stay here for 3 hours, but it was raining on the day we went, so we cut some spots. We also got lost on the MRT. 😂 It took us quite a while to realize it and take the same route back. 📌 Transportation: The easiest way is to take the MRT red line until the end of the line and get off at Tamsui Station. 🧸 But we chose to take the MRT red line and get off at Hongshulin Station to transfer to the Danhai Light Rail, a train line where each station is decorated with the works of Jimmy Liao, a famous Taiwanese cartoon artist. Which is so cute and sweet🥰🥰#tamsui #traveltaiwan #traveltaiwanbyyourself #taiwan

Delicious and fun Many flavors Fun way to eat This time I ordered almond flavor 😋 First, turn the mochi over and dip it in flour! Then use chopsticks to cut it into bite-sized pieces! It's cool and soft, not as sticky as regular mochi. There is a distinct milk flavor! The first one is this fresh milk mochi! Feels good 👌🏼 Delicious 😋 No. 220, Zhongzheng Road, Tamsui District, New Taipei City Tel: 02-2626 0358

#seascape #Taiwan #Tamsui I believe many people have been to Tamsui. Whether it is Fisherman’s Wharf, Mangrove Ecological Trail or Tamkang University, everyone is familiar with them. But do you know what the Tamsui disaster is? The Tamsui disaster occurred at Section 1, Xinshi 5th Road, Tamsui District. Due to the failure of the urban renewal plan and the oversupply of development plans in Tamsui City, the seaside land originally planned to be developed into residential areas has been abandoned since the 1970s. Although this deserted land has modern roads, street lights, sidewalks and even coastal embankments, it is now overgrown with weeds as it is seldom visited and unattended, with only the coastal embankment serving as a running track for runners. This abandoned area is not simply a wasteland. In addition, many residents of Tamsui New Town run nearby and it is only a 10-minute walk from the Tamsui Light Rail. The contrast between the old and the new is quite magical. As the name suggests, Tamsui New Town overlooks a vast sea view. Surprisingly, the abandoned area is the place closest to the coastal embankment, which should have an unparalleled sea view. We set out from Tamsui by light rail and arrived at Nanhai New Town in about half an hour. Walking up the coastal embankment, we felt a desolate scene on the left, while on the right was the azure blue sea. This strong contrast made the sea view even more mysterious.

#100 Ways to Travel Freshwater｜Sour fish "Don't limit yourself because of other people's sour words. 』 Give it to me and to my fans My friend who lives in Tamsui brought me to this place. I can only say that I love it. If you like sour and strong flavors, remember to go there when you come to Tamsui. The portion is big enough and the price is pretty good! Both the snail noodles and the hot and sour noodles are delicious, but I'm not so good at stir-frying with red oil. If I had to pick one thing, it would be that the air-conditioning was not very cold that day. It is really scary to eat spicy food without air-conditioning in this kind of weather. Overall, it's still very recommended 🔰 Beef slices and river snail rice noodle $170 🔰 Deluxe Hot and Sour Noodle $240 🔰 Stir-fried pork with red oil $95 P.S.

In the mountainous area of ​​Tamsui, there is a glass-and-wooden house cafe hidden in an ancient courtyard house for a century. The Li Family House, which has been in business for more than five generations, is also the ancestral home of the poet Li Kuixian. Now it has been transformed into a cafe full of humanistic atmosphere☕️ The environment combines the retro atmosphere of an old house with a green courtyard. The restaurant offers home-baked coffee, handmade desserts, and seasonal dishes. There is free parking at the door, and it is convenient to drive or bike to get there. If you have a day trip to Tamsui, you might as well come to the "Stone Wall Cafe" to have a seat. In the historic Sanheyuan, you can enjoy a cup of homemade hand-brewed coffee.

Tamsui has a unique attraction, that is the pumpkin garden.

I came to Tamsui today to eat BBQ. This restaurant is right on Tamsui Old Street. You can go shopping after eating. This time I ordered the 999 all-you-can-eat option. You can also add 100 dollars to get lobster. The lobster is quite fresh, and the store will help you prepare it. They will also cook miso soup for you with the lobster head. I think it’s pretty good. Of course, they also have other price ranges to choose from. There are also many branches in Taipei. You can refer to them🔥🥩😋 #Foodie

When I passed by, I smelled the delicious freshly baked old-fashioned cakes. I simply bought two flavors, original and cheese, and took a small portion of each. The boss packed them directly into boxes without weighing them. They felt very heavy when I picked them up. After I bought it home and tasted it on the same day, the cheese was very rich, the cake body was not very soft, and the milk flavor was a little lacking. Maybe I have eaten better, softer, more milky and more mouth-watering traditional flavor cakes. The original flavor of the traditional flavor cake does not seem to meet my personal expectations.

Remember to drive Photo: Great view Meal: Italian noodles 🍝 Recommended Ma: Dislike of the world depends on your mood American restaurant🍴Good place, no need to go too far/just keep walking in Tamsui, New Taipei City! #American restaurant #Italian food #Horse

When I first found the island 3.5 degrees in Taichung, the dinosaur-related decoration attracted me and my child. Due to time constraints, we did not eat in Taichung. I did not expect that there was a branch in Tamsui New Town. I immediately arranged the itinerary and rushed there. However, with a temperature of less than 10 degrees, it really takes courage to go to Tamsui😂😂😂 The dining time at the 3.5-degree island is 90 minutes, starting from 10 minutes after the reservation time (so 100 minutes, right? XD). There is no limit on the play time, you can play before and after meals. You can pay to use the recreational facilities even if you don't have a meal, but you still have to eat, so just make a reservation. The food tastes like that of a parent-child restaurant! You know 🙈 #Good Places for Families #familytravel #LocalTravel
