The Hsinchu City coastline extends from Nanliao Village in the north to Nangang in the south. It measures 19.35 km following the curve of the coast and 14.25 km as the crow flies, which averages to 16.8 km, thus the name “17-Kilometer Coastline.” It is an emergent coastline, with an intertidal zone that is more than 1,000 ha. large and the biggest coastal wetland in northern Taiwan. The area contains a fishing harbor, a mangrove park, a birdwatching zone, beach, estuarine mudflats and cycling paths. Its wind turbines and the Kerya Water Reclamation Center are part of the city’s green initiatives. Together, these facilities contribute to ecological, industrial, economic, educational, research, and environmental industries. They not only raise quality of life but also develop non-polluting industries that preserve the environment, thus attracting tourists.
