Wazihwei Nature Reserve is a nature reserve in Bali District, New Taipei, Taiwan. It is home to egrets, mudskippers, and fiddler crabs.
The area was declared as a nature reserve by the Council of Agriculture on 10 January 1994 in order to prevent further damaging to the ecosystem due to the water pollution from Tamsui River.[1]
The nature reserve is located at the tidal area of Tamsui River bank.[2] It consists of mangrove, mudflats and swamp.[1] [3]
