Several boat operators offer trips from the Wushi Harbour to Guishan Island and also for whale and dolphin watching.

Once the economic center of the area, the Ho-Ping street in Toucheng is one of the few unaltered and typical Qing dynasty Taiwanese urban structures.

The township has recently seen a marked increase in tourism due to the opening of the Freeway 5 linking it with western Taipei.

The freeway consists of a series of tunnels dug through the Snow Mountains, the longest of which measures 12.7 km (7.9 mi).

The distance between western Taipei and Toucheng is now 30 km (19 mi) and takes roughly thirty minutes of driving, compared to several hours in the past.
