Gaomei Wetland in Taichung is inundated with tourists during the holidays, creating a whole host of problems such as illegal parking and heavy traffic. During the peak summer season, Transportation Bureau of Taichung City Government will be implementing traffic control from 14:00 to 20:00 during July 13 and September 29 at Meiti St., the most congested area of the region, during which only pedestrian access will be allowed, and vehicle traffic including cars or motorcycles will be prohibited. Visitors may park their vehicles in First or Second Parking Lot and take the shuttle bus or iBike to the wetland.

According to Transportation Bureau Director General Chao-fu Yeh, the bureau will provide frequent shuttle bus services between Gaomei Wetland boardwalk and First/Second Parking Lot. Numerous buses link up scenic destinations including Qingshui Train Station, THSR Taichung Station, Taichung Train Station, downtown Qingshui, Gaomei Wetland, and Wuqi Fishing Harbor, therefore tourists are encouraged to make use of public transport to travel between the coastal destinations.
