Tamsui is a riverside district that many Jay Chou fans love. It offers a simple way to see the places that inspired his youth and the famous sunset scene.

Take the red MRT Tamsui‑Xinyi line straight to the terminal station. From the station you can walk to Tamkang High School, where Jay Chou studied and where his 2007 movie “Secret” was filmed. Nearby are Aletheia University, Tamsui Old Street, Fisherman’s Wharf, Lover’s Bridge, and the Danjiang Bridge that opened in May 2026.

Try local foods such as a‑gei (fried tofu with glass noodles), fish balls, crispy fish skin, and iron eggs. Rent a bike and ride along the flat riverbank starting around 4 p.m.; the ride lets you watch the sunset from Lover’s Bridge or the Danjiang Bridge pedestrian walkway. The Danjiang Bridge is 920 m long, has a 450‑m main span, was designed by Zaha Hadid’s firm, and includes 5‑m‑wide lanes for walkers and cyclists.

A visit to Tamsui lets you walk the same school grounds, taste the famous snacks, and end the day with a beautiful sunset over the river. Whether you are a Jay Chou fan or a casual traveler, the district offers a memorable experience.
