The Tamsui River (formerly romanized as Danshui River, {{zh|c=淡水河|p=Dànshǔi Hé|w=Tan4-shui3 Ho2|l=Freshwater River|poj=Tām-chúi-hô|first=t}}) is a river in northern Taiwan. It begins at the confluence of Xindian Creek and Dahan Creek at the western boundary of Taipei and New Taipei City, just north of Banqiao District, and flows northward and northwestward, passing the eponymous Tamsui District, then emptying into the Taiwan Strait. Formerly known as the "Dolatok River", it is one of the few rivers in the island that flows along a north-south direction.[1]

The river's three tributaries are Xindian Creek, Dahan Creek and Keelung River. Dahan Creek is the main tributary and has its headwaters in the Pintian Mountain in Hsinchu County and flows through Hsinchu County, Taoyuan City and New Taipei City. As a river system including Dahan Creek, Tamsui River has a total length of {{convert|159|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} and a drainage area of {{convert|2726|km2|mi2|0|abbr=on}}.[2]

Pollution

The Tamsui River is heavily polluted by both raw sewage and industrial pollution from illegal industry. Clean up and natural river restoration is on the agenda of the Taipei City Government, Taiwan Central Government and several citizen organizations.[3][4]

Bridges

Several famous bridges run across the river, such as:

  • Guandu Bridge
  • New Taipei Bridge
  • Taipei Bridge
  • Danjiang Bridge (proposed)[5]
