Tamsui Wharf — Attraction in New Taipei

After Typhoon Kong-Rey passed, this was probably one of the most crowded day we’ve seen since. The day was sunny and beautiful. The crowds were out. The entire Tamsui waterfront was bustling with life!

Ticket prices for ferry from Tamsui to Bali Taipei costs 40NT per person per way (or ~$1.65 SGD). We actually bought the return tickets for 2 people that came up to 160NT. However, as we queued and reached the start of the queue, we noticed other locals actually tapping their EasyCard to pay for their ferry ticket from Tamsui to Bali – just like boarding the metro or bus in Taipei. Hence, this would probably be the better option if you’re doing the same day trip.

The boat ride from Tamsui to Bali took about 7 minutes and we love it that it was leisurely and comfortable. No sudden jerks. No high speed. No pounding unlike the Batam or Langkawi speed boats that we took. The ferry rides were full and there were elderly and kids as well. This is probably why the captain took extra care navigating across the Tamsui River as well...
