The "Gaomei Wildlife Protected Area" belonging to Qingshui District of Taichung City is famous for its rich basal wetlands in benthic ecological resources and Bolboschoenus planiculmis(F. Schmidt) T.V. Egorova. Especially, the sunset seascape connected with salt grass has become a famous online photo shooting attraction. With the rapid increase in visitor arrivals, the huge recreation pressure has challenged the environmental carrying capacity of wetland reserves, and it is likely to intensify year by year. Therefore, in order to response the on-site recreation management, how the tourists’ moving have become an important information. This study used the Flickr on-line platform as the source of research data from early 2006 to the end of 2017. The total of 696 community users (referred to as visitors to this study) who have taken photos with geographic information in Gaomei Wetland. A total of 11,127 data were collected using VGI (Volunteered Geographic Information) data in the geographic information system for the purpose of analyzing the tourist activities in the Gaomei Wetland, and also comparing the differences of tourists distribution before and after setting the wetland wood path as the second purpose. At the same time, 200 tourists have been selected to trace their movement in Gaomei Wetland, and combined the Arena simulation software to construct the path selection model of tourists to further analyze the recreation movement status. The study found that VGI data can be used as a reference for the time and space distribution of tourists entering the wetland, which can be closer to the real population distribution, and can clearly understand the movement of tourists in the Gaomei Wetland, and can be observed by restore the order of the path. The tourist route model by applying the Arena simulation system will provide the visitors’ distributions during peak time. This research has provided the basic of management strategies toward wetland recreation.
