Gaomei wetland has a small area, but because it has both muddy and sandy beaches, and the estuarine swamps meet together, it breeds a rich and complex wetland ecology, including tidal stream, swamp, beach, mud and other ecological habitats, and is adjacent to Yunlin guancao area, the largest ethnic group in Taiwan Province, thus forming a complex terrain with dry and wet and plant growth.
