Started as a bustling port city in 19th century at the outlet of Danshui River, Danshui (淡水鎮) or sometimes written as Tamsui is a popular destination to watch sunset! Located north of Taipei, Danshui is conveniently reached by metropolitan folks via MRT (Danshui/Red Line) from Taipei city in less than 40 minutes.
The mountain across is GuanYin Shan - captured from moving MRT
Danshui MRT Station is the last stop on Danshui (Red) Line
Spotted the songbird? His voice is teriffic!
Boasting many historical attractions such as Hongmao Castle (Fort San Domingo), Old Street and Fuyou Temple, made Danshui the favorite town among visitors from abroad. Apart from the rustic charm which spread around the township, Danshui is also enjoyed by many without much effort required.
Fishing boats
Right behind the Danshui MRT Station, there is an esplanade of miles long. Appealing and designed with a dedicated walkway, it also houses cafes, restaurants and gift/game shops on the inland. A few spots on waterfront are occupied by ferry piers, whereby one can take a boat ride across Danshui River to Bali or Fisherman's Wharf.
A great place for people watching

Danshui waterfront attracts huge crowd from all walks of life. Favored by family with children as this place
offers a safe ground to walk, run, fly kites or even bike. Good place for chatting and strolling among youngsters and the same time, it is a romantic spot for dating couples to catch beautiful sunset. Elderly folks seems to enjoy sitting on the bench while fanning by the sea breeze. Avid anglers are indulged with their catch and barely notice any passer-by.

Most of the time, the atmosphere is filled with free live music especially in the evening or weekends. This area seems to provide a platform for the home grown artists to showcase and market their talent. Caricaturists or painters can be spotted here as well.
