The journey takes about 70 minutes, and visitors can take in the scenery along the Tamsui River, viewing the Taipei Bridge, Chongyang Bridge, Shezi Island... and other riverside sights from a different angle, enjoying the beautiful sunset and the cool, comfortable breeze on their faces while listening to guided commentary on the landscapes and cultural stories of both banks.
