Tamsui Banyan Tree Path | The Softest Path Under the Sunset

At dusk, Tamsui's Banyan Tree Path is always particularly captivating. Stretching from Fort San Domingo to the banks of the Tamsui River, this path shaded by ancient banyan trees is a beloved romantic stroll for many locals and travelers alike. The setting sun shines through the banyan trees, casting light onto the stone pavement, creating dappled shadows that speak of the gentle passage of time.

A gentle breeze caresses the banyan trees' aerial roots, draping them like curtains. Accompanied by the distant sounds of guitars and the lapping of waves on the riverbank, the world slows down. Walking here, there's no need for a purpose; simply let your heart follow the wind and light, entering this golden afternoon dreamland.

Couples walk side by side, elderly people hold their grandchildren's hands, and street performers softly sing Tamsui love songs. As the sun slowly sinks behind Guanyin Mountain, the sky is bathed in a blend of orange, pink, and purple, and the surface of the Tamsui River shimmers with golden light. At that moment, all the noise ceased, leaving only the sunset, the banyan tree, and a smile.

At the end, looking back, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the banyan trees onto the road, like a dream sprinkled with golden dust. This road is not only the most beautiful promenade in Tamsui, but also a memory of time and romance.
