Located outside the No. 16 Water Gate of Keelung River in front of Meiti Evacuation Gate, Meiti Pier is a port in the "Blue Highway" waterway network, similar in layout to Dajia Pier. Meiti Pier serves mainly as a shelter for river liners providing commercial services on Blue Highway. It extends the Blue Highway route to Neihu, connecting attraction spots along Keelung River into a waterfront tourist belt that is integrated into the Miramar Shopping Area. In addition to the National Palace Museum, Martyrs' Shrine and a gigantic Ferris wheel, the pier area is perfect for a shopping spree as it boasts a variety of shopping malls, hypermarkets and retail stores near the Neihu Science Park. Meiti Riverside Park, where the pier stands, commands a wonderful panoramic view that includes the city's landmark Taipei 101 building in the distance, as well as airplanes taking off and landing at Taipei Songshan Airport. The park is terrific for some waterfront fun, a casual stroll or cycling excursions.
