Beishi River

Beishi River

The Beishi River is a waterway flowing through New Taipei City and Yilan County in northern Taiwan. It serves as a tributary to the Xindian River and is the site of the Feicui Reservoir downstream. Travelers visit this area to walk along the historic trails that follow the riverbanks, providing views of the water and the surrounding natural landscape.

Getting There

The river is located in the mountainous regions of New Taipei City. From Taipei city centre, access is typically via a combination of public transport to the Wulai area followed by local transit or taxis. Depending on the specific access point and traffic, the journey generally takes between 1 to 2 hours.

Duration of Visit

Depending on the length of the trail chosen, visitors should allow between 2 to 4 hours to walk along the banks and observe the river environment.

When to Visit

The area is best visited during the cooler months or early in the day to avoid midday heat. Visitors should check local weather reports, as heavy rainfall in northern Taiwan can affect trail conditions and river levels.

  • Nanshi River: 0.3km
