Gaomei Wetlands

sunset at gaomei wetlands

Beautiful wetlands teeming with life rendered surreal by the sight of wind turbines on the horizon. It is especially photogenic at sunset and makes for a nice day out for the family. Take a local train to Qingshui (清水), then board bus 178 (NT$20, 30 minutes). There are only five buses a day, so consider taking a taxi (NT$300). Many people go at sunset for phenomenal views.
