The costal line of Hsinchu City begins from Naliao in the north and ends at Nangang in the south. For a total length of 17km, it is an emergence coast. The tidal belt, ranging for over one thousand hectares, is the largest seaside wetland in Northern Taiwan, nurturing a large variety of shrimps, crabs, and shellfish. Of those, the variety and large groups of crabs (Mictyris brevidactylus and Macrophthalmus banzai) attribute to the most attractive ecological landscape in Hsinchu City Coast. Nangang Wetland, south of Haishan Fish Port, is the habitat for over 80% of the endemic and endangered Taiwan fiddler crab (Uca formosensis) in Taiwan. Jincheng Lake, at the north shore of Keya River, is the major habitat for waterfowl, of which 277 species have been recorded, and over species are listed as endangered species by the Council of Agriculture, 9 are marine mammals. It is the most ecologically resourceful area along the coast. The area is designed with bike routes that lead to the fish port, windbreak forest, Oceanview Platform, Hsinchu Nursery, Gangnan Scenery Area (Gangnan Canal), Fengching Coast, Haishan Fish Port, Oceanview Park, restored landfill, tidal flat, lake, wetland, Nangang Bird Watching Area, redwoods, and sandbank, offering diverse features and views.
