To help travelers make the most of even a short layover, we are launching a brand-new Transit Half-Day Tour, offering a curated journey to two of northern Taiwan’s most distinctive highlights: the internationally acclaimed Tamsui–Bali Bridge and the historic Tamsui Old Street.
The Tamsui–Bali Bridge is Taiwan’s first cable-stayed bridge and the world’s longest single-tower asymmetric cable-stayed bridge. Its design draws inspiration from the famed Tamsui sunset and the graceful movements of Cloud Gate Dance Theatre performers. With its elegant lines shaping the skyline at the mouth of the Tamsui River, the bridge has quickly become a new landmark in northern Taiwan. Visitors can not only admire its architectural beauty, but also gain insight into its design philosophy and cultural significance through guided interpretation.

Tamsui Old Street is more than a hub for local delicacies, it is a living corridor of Taiwan’s history spanning several centuries. Since the Qing dynasty, this bustling commercial street has been home to ferry docks, historic temples, and red-brick buildings. Together, they reflect Tamsui’s legacy as northern Taiwan’s most important port in earlier times. Visitors can stroll along its nostalgic streets, sample time-honored snacks, and browse locally inspired souvenirs. From the structure of heritage buildings to the shimmering riverside views, every corner exudes Tamsui’s signature blend of leisure and quiet charm.

By combining the cutting-edge engineering of the Tamsui–Bali Bridge with the rich cultural heritage of Tamsui Old Street, this half-day experience offers a seamless journey across past and present, an immersive introduction to Taiwan’s unique aesthetic.
This new tour will be launching soon, and we look forward to welcoming you. We warmly invite travelers from around the world to experience the harmony of old and new in Tamsui, and to create lasting memories of Taiwan, even within a brief stopover.
