Description

A journey through New Taipei City’s northern coast offers a wonderful mix of adventure, science, culture, and seaside charm. This full-day itinerary includes the Shen’ao Rail Bike, the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology, the Chaojing Intelligent Marine Center, Chaojing Park, and the vibrant Zhengbin Fishing Port Colorful Houses. Each stop offers a unique perspective on the area’s history, its natural beauty, and its cultural vitality. The day begins at the Shen’ao Rail Bike, where travelers ride along refurbished railway tracks that once carried coal. Now, the track has been reinvented into a recreational route that runs alongside the ocean. Pedaling through coastal tunnels decorated with light installations and emerging to sweeping sea views creates a sense of discovery and fun. The salty breeze and the sight of Keelung Islet in the distance make it both a cultural and scenic highlight. Next, visitors step into the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology, a hub of maritime knowledge. Here, interactive exhibitions showcase Taiwan’s relationship with the sea, from shipbuilding traditions to modern ocean research. Visitors can explore galleries on marine ecosystems, climb aboard ship replicas, and even experience educational films that reveal the wonders of the underwater world. The adventure continues at the Chaojing Intelligent Marine Center, where technology transforms learning into immersive experiences. Virtual reality simulations, large-scale digital screens, and interactive exhibits allow guests to “dive” beneath the ocean surface and witness coral reefs, schools of fish, and deep-sea life. It is not just entertainment but also an inspiring reminder of the importance of marine conservation. Afterward, travelers step outside to enjoy the natural beauty of Chaojing Park, a coastal park famous for its rugged shoreline and wide-open views. Walking trails, sculptures, and seaside observation decks create a perfect setting for relaxation and photography. The sound of waves against the rocks and the endless horizon provide a peaceful break in the itinerary. Finally, the day ends at the Zhengbin Fishing Port Colorful Houses, a charming waterfront attraction where traditional fishing village life meets modern creativity. Once a working harbor, it is now a popular cultural landmark, with its rows of rainbow-painted houses reflecting in the calm water. Cafés and small eateries invite visitors to taste local seafood and enjoy the lively yet relaxed atmosphere. Together, these experiences turn the trip into a dynamic journey where history, science, technology, nature, and culture come together. This itinerary captures the essence of New Taipei City’s coastal treasures, offering travelers a memorable way to connect with both the sea and the community that thrives beside it.
