      Gaomei Wetland

      October 2, 2019 in Taiwan ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

      We decided to join an organised half day tour to the Gaomei Wetland as it is difficult to get there from Taichung by public transport. Our guide was super enthusiastic, trying to speak three different languages at the same time - so mostly we didn't understand him. The wetland is the west side of Taiwan by the sea with a dozen wind mills sticking out from the water. A long wooden walkway leads in a km or so, from there you can watch different crabs and tiny mudskipper fish. At the end of the walkway you take off your shoes to go in the 3cm deep sea which feels like you walk on the top of the water. The sun was so red and big as it went down, a beautiful sunset.Read more

      Gaomei Wetlands Taichung

      November 16, 2023 in Taiwan ⋅ 🌬 22 °C

      Geschrieben von Maike

      Unser Aufenthalt in Taichung ermöglichte uns einen kleinen Abstecher in die Gaomei Wetlands an der Küste zu machen. Dieses Feuchtgebiet umfasst eine große Fläche an feuchtem Sand und Erde, welche zu Zeiten der Flut überschwemmt wird - etwas wie das Wattenmeer an der Nordsee. Der Wind war merklich zu spüren, sodass man aufpassen musste, dass die Mütze oder ein übergelegtes Jäckchen nicht wegwehte. Wir sind auf einem langen Steg über diesen Wasser-Sand-Schlick zum offenen Meer vor gelaufen und haben die Sicht auf das Wasser, die Sonne hinter den Wolken und die kleinen Krabben, die belebt auf dem Schlick herumtänzelten, genossen. Ich war sehr begeistert von diesem Ort an der Küste, da es sich durch den Wind bedeutend kühler als in Taichung selbst anfühlte. Eine richtig belebende Stimmung!

      Our stay in Taichung made it possible to visit Gaomei Wetlands on the coast. This wetland covers a large area of wet sand and soil that is flooded at high tide - a bit like the mud flats on the North Sea. The wind was notably stronger so you had to be careful that your hat or jacket didn't blow away. We walked along a long footbridge over this water-sandy mud to the open sea and enjoyed the view on the water, the sun behind the clouds and the little crabs dancing around on the mud. I felt very energized in this place on the coast, as the wind made it feel much cooler than in Taichung itself. A wonderfully revitalising atmosphere!
