Gaomei Wetlands Birdwatching Ecotour

Tidal flats alive with waders and winter visitors — scopes, a naturalist guide, and the famous windmill sunset to close the day.

Where the Dajia River meets the Taiwan Strait, 300 hectares of tidal flats feed tens of thousands of migratory birds — black-winged stilts stalking the shallows, sandpipers wheeling in silver clouds, and in winter the odd black-faced spoonbill. A naturalist guide brings scopes and patience; you bring curiosity. The tour tracks the tide for the best feeding hours and ends on the boardwalk as the sun sets behind the turbines.

Highlights

◆Naturalist-guided birding with scopes provided
◆Tide-timed visit for peak wader activity
