1. High-Altitude View – Fullon Hotel Lover’s Tower

The 100-meter-high Fullon Lover’s Tower is arguably the highest point in the entire Fisherman's Wharf area. Watching the fireworks from the top of the tower will be an unforgettable experience.
 
2. Up Close – Shopping Street Wooden Boardwalk
 
The shopping street wooden boardwalk is the closest land area within the Fisherman's Wharf precinct to the Tamsui Riverbank. Sit on the small steps of the boardwalk and enjoy the optimal view of the fireworks shooting up from the riverbank into the sky, with the breeze in your hair — a perfect way to add romance to your Qixi Festival.

3. Extreme Thrill – Entertainment Fishing Boats

For the most immersive fireworks experience, watch from a professional entertainment fishing boat at a safe distance from the river. Enjoy an unobstructed angle of the beautiful fireworks. The river will reflect the brilliant light of the fireworks, complemented by the nighttime scenery of the Fisherman’s Wharf area from the harbor, creating a riverside charm that gets more beautiful as the night deepens.
 
4. Over-the-Top Romance – Fisherman’s Wharf Lover’s Bridge
 
The landmark of Fisherman’s Wharf – the Lover’s Bridge – features colorful landscape light sculptures. The beautiful fireworks combined with the dazzling light displays will create another classic moment for the wharf, bringing couples even closer together.

The floating dock area in the park is a favorite photography spot for enthusiasts. From here, you can take in the full panorama of the harbor, including the Lover’s Bridge, shopping street, and numerous boats moored at the floating dock, adding to the charming harbor atmosphere. When night falls and fireworks light up the sky, the scene becomes even more enchanting and romantic.
