At the northern end, on the banks of the Danshui River, is the Shuhong (Diversion Channel) Ecological Park. It is the best place to observe estuarine ecology. When the tide goes out, you can admire nature's canvas: flocks of birds searching for food in the exposed sand, or, if the weather is not too cold, tens of thousands of mudskippers pirouetting about.
最北端靠淡水河岸的「疏洪生態公園」，是觀察河口灘地生態的據點，退潮時寬闊灘地上可以欣賞群鳥覓食的優雅身影，若天氣不冷，還會有幾萬隻彈塗魚跳躍舞動。
