 As 2024 draws to a close, leave your worries behind and welcome the new year with stunning coastal views at Hongmaogang(紅毛港), Cijin(旗津), or Mituo(彌陀). These remarkable destinations offer the perfect start to a new year, with a blend of tranquility and natural beauty set against stunning coastal landscapes.

Hongmaogang Cultural Park(紅毛港文化園區)

 This park beautifully blends history with modernity, inviting visitors to explore the once-thriving Hongmaogang settlement. Although the village has been relocated, its historical significance remains intact. Experience the past through its landscapes while strolling along the Skywalk, which has been repurposed from a coal conveyor belt that once belonged to a former power plant. For an unforgettable experience, don't miss the chance to dine at the 360-degree rotating restaurant, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of ships gracefully entering the harbor.
