Highlights
- One of the easiest sunset wins near Taipei
- A relaxed boardwalk vibe (great for couples and families)
- Home to Tamsui’s iconic Lover’s Bridge
Why go
Fisherman’s Wharf is pure atmosphere: open space, breeze, and that ‘I’m on the edge of the city’ feeling. It’s especially satisfying after a day of Taipei density.
If your trip needs one romantic, low-effort evening, this is a strong contender.
How to do the sunset version
Arrive with enough buffer for a slow walk. Golden hour into blue hour is the sweet spot—best light, best mood, and the bridge looks great as the sky fades.
- Go later for golden hour → blue hour
- Bring a light layer (it can be windy)
- Keep the plan simple: stroll + photos + one snack/drink
Best pairing: Lover’s Bridge
The bridge is the landmark and the photo moment. Cross it, then keep walking until you find a spot that feels like ‘your’ sunset angle.
