Bali

Introducing Bali

West of Danshui is the charming riverfront /seacoast town of Bali (no relation to the Indonesian paradise of the same name). Just across the wide mouth of the Danshui River where it meets the sea, Bali is quickly becoming a magnet for Taipeiers, especially families with children looking to get out of the big city for an afternoon. The entire bank of the river is taken up by the aptly named ‘Left Bank Park’, a waterfront park with 14km of biking and hiking trails and wooden boardwalks skirting wetlands teeming with plant and marine life. The area has also become a magnet for bird-watchers, as a number of species of birds either make their homes here or stop by for a quick feast on their migratory routes.
