As the summer travel season approaches, many people are planning short getaways. Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf in New Taipei City is well known for its Lover's Bridge and sunset views, while a heart-shaped stone fish weir that appears only during low tide has recently become a popular destination for visitors and photographers.
The wharf remains one of northern Taiwan's most popular tourist attractions, featuring waterfront boardwalks, leisure spaces, restaurants, cafés, and souvenir shops. Visitors can enjoy scenic views where the Tamsui River meets the Taiwan Strait.

The recently opened Danjiang Bridge has also become a new landmark. Spanning the mouth of the Tamsui River, the bridge offers stunning views during the day and an impressive illuminated appearance at night.
Located on the western side of the harbor, the heart-shaped stone fish weir is a traditional fishing structure built according to tidal patterns. It preserves local fishing heritage and reflects the wisdom of early settlers. During low tide, its distinctive heart shape emerges, attracting tourists and photographers. The surrounding intertidal ecosystem and the “Kurava” art installation further enhance the area's appeal.
