    As Danshui (Dan shui) is a waterfront escape for much of Taipei it gets busy on weekends and public holidays.

    The area is home to several attractions.
    Danshui Old Street (淡水老街): lined with stalls selling local street foods and Taiwan produce.
    Danshui waterfront promenade: home to a mix of eateries, stalls and sideshow type games.
    Danshui Fisherman’s Wharf (淡水漁人碼頭): offers a boardwalk, restaurants and Lovers Bridge.
    Fort San Domingo (Hongmao Cheng / 紅毛城): formerly controlled by the Spanish, Dutch and British is now a museum and has recently been refurbished. Bali ferry: ferry trips to the township of Bali across the Danshui River.
