30-day tide table for Gaomei Wetlands, including today's and tomorrow's high and low tide times, heights, tidal range and wave conditions from Taiwan CWA.
There are no fixed clock hours. Under the managers' rules the protected area is closed 1.5 hours either side of each high tide, 2 hours either side of a spring high tide, and after sunset, so the time you can go in changes daily. This page estimates the closures from that day's tide forecast; the official notice and on-site instructions decide.
Visit around low tide to walk the boardwalk onto the tidal flat and watch fiddler crabs and mudskippers. A late-afternoon low tide with the sunset is a popular photo time, but the protected area closes completely after sunset. Avoid the high-tide closures and mind your safety.

Access to the Gaomei boardwalk and protected area mainly follows the tide. Under the Taichung coastal fisheries office's rules, visitors may not enter the protected area from 1 hour 30 minutes before to 1 hour 30 minutes after each high tide, from 2 hours before to 2 hours after a spring high tide, or at any time after sunset.
The boardwalk has no fixed opening hours: the closures move with the tide every day, and the managers also adjust them for weather, maintenance or sea conditions. To walk out onto the tidal flat to see fiddler crabs and mudskippers, avoid the closures around high tide and leave before sunset.
These windows are worked out from the tide forecast. They leave out the closure after sunset and do not mean the rest of the day is open; the managers' notices and the rangers on site decide. Official notice: boardwalk opening hours (Chinese) (rule checked 2026-10-08)
Pick a station by region for today, tomorrow and the next 30 days of high and low tides.
