Located in the northwest of New Taipei City and at the mouth of the Danshui River, Danshui, Taiwan is one of the oldest towns in Taiwan and is known as the "birthplace of Taiwan". As early as the 17th century, Spanish and Dutch colonizers set up their strongholds here, leaving behind historical sites such as the Red Hair City, which was also used as an important military stronghold during the Zheng Chenggong era. Due to the natural harbor formed by the Danshui River and Keelung Harbor, Danshui was once the gateway to northern Taiwan, where trade flourished, and still retains a strong imprint of the intermingling of Southern Fujian and Western cultures. It boasts the famous sunset view of the Tamkang River, and attractions such as Fisherman's Wharf, Danshui Old Street, and the ancient building complex of the Truth University attract many tourists, while specialty snacks such as Ah Zhi and Fish Crisp fill Danshui with fireworks. As one of the important birthplaces of Taiwanese culture, Danshui combines historical heritage with natural beauty, making it a must-visit place to experience the diverse charms of Taiwan.
