Fishing harbour, windmills and the 17 km coastline
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
Ride toward the sea, and the road ends at Nanliao. The Boguang Market and the Fish Direct Sales Center next to the fishing harbor are the liveliest spots around here, with the Visitor Service Center right next door. Head south along the seawall and you'll hit the start of the 17km Coastal Bikeway, which passes by Nanliao Beach and Kanhai Park along the way.
If you love sea breezes and cycling, you can step out your door straight onto the coastline, with Kanhai Park right in the mix too. For seafood, just head to the Direct Sales Center at the fishing harbor. Kids are covered from elementary through junior high nearby—Nanliao Elementary School and Nanhua Junior High School both have this area in their district. To get into town, take the Hsinchu Bus Blue Line or Blue 15 route; it's about 5 km to the train station.
This is the most out-of-the-way zone in Hsinchu—it ranks 9th out of 9 neighborhoods for both convenience and public transit. There's no train station here, and supermarkets and clinics are mostly more than 500 meters away, so you'll need a scooter or car for daily life. Come autumn and winter, get ready for the Jiujiang winds, which can hit speeds of 20 meters per second—be careful cycling along the exposed seawall.
In 1731, the Qing Dynasty opened Zhuqian Port at the mouth of the Touqian River—what's known today as Jiugang, the Old Port. Jiugang later silted up, so in 1959 Nanliao Fishing Harbor was built on the south bank further down the Touqian River. But river-mouth harbors are naturally prone to silting, so construction began about 2 km further south in 1981 on Xinzhu Fishing Port, which opened in 1991. In 2021, the Boguang Market beside the fishing harbor started operating.

Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
