Experience the Charm of Tamsui: A Captivating Journey Through Taiwan's Coastal Gem 🇹🇼🌊 Nestled along the scenic northern coast of Taiwan lies the enchanting district of Tamsui, a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Join me on a mesmerizing journey as we uncover the rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes of this coastal paradise.
Tamsui is one of the best destinations for a one-day trip. What a beautiful district! There remain historical sites of the Dutch and Spanish colonization; among them, is the famous Fort San Domingo. Tamsui is also known as one of the places where you can see the most beautiful sunsets in Taiwan. No need to pack your things, just get your backpack ready and we will dive into the world of Tamsui together.
Tamsui is located in the northern part of Taipei and there are a variety of options to get there. You can pick the one that is more convenient for you depending on where you live. Taking the Taipei MRT is one of the most convenient ways to get around Taipei and New Taipei. To go to Tamsui, you just have to take the Red line (Tamsui-Xinyi); from Taipei Main Station, it will only take you roughly 40 minutes. However, if you are coming from Taipei 101, it will take you around 1 hour to get there. You can also take buses depending on where you are or you can do the quickest thing which is: call a taxi.
When it comes to eating in Tamsui, there are considerably many options. You can find some western-style restaurants such as Kooks, Number 7, or TNT. However, I believe you, coming to Tamsui, are more looking for traditional foods that you will not find in other places. When you arrive in Tamsui, you should definitely try the well-known iron eggs at the Tamsui Old Street (eggs which have been repeatedly stewed in a mix of spices and air dried) the most famous iron egg store is Grandma’s Tiedan 135 Zhongzheng Road (Old Street).
Another must-try delicacy in Tamsui is Ah-Gei which is a fried bean curd stuffed with vermicelli noodles and is often served with a spicy sauce. There is an original Ah-Gei store at No. 4, Alley 11, Zhongzheng Rd, you can check it out. The price is usually around NT$ 40. Many people who come to Tamsui will go to this restaurant called Old Shop Tamsui Fish Ball. Although there are many stores selling Ah-Gei in Tamsui, I personally recommend this one the most because their fish balls are very elastic and the more you chew, the tastier they become. In addition, after the sauce is absorbed, you can’t stop eating it.
🏘️ Discover quaint tea houses, bustling markets, and picturesque waterfront promenades, each offering a glimpse into the local way of life.
As the sun sets over the tranquil Tamsui River, we'll be treated to a breathtaking vista of vibrant hues painting the sky. 🌅 Join me for a leisurely stroll along Lover's Bridge, where the soft glow of the evening lights creates a romantic ambiance that's simply unforgettable.
