Chenggong Fishing Harbor

With a population of 20,000, the town of Chenggong is the largest community between Hualien and Taitung cities. It is also the location of the largest fish market in this area. Every day between 3pm and 4pm, all fishing boats return to Chenggong harbor after spending the previous day at sea. The day's catch is unloaded, after which the auction takes place. The hustle and bustle, color and noise generated by the fishermen and their buyers make an exciting and memorable sight and one which the visitor should make every effort to experience.

The town abounds with seafood restaurants selling the freshest fish you are likely to try anywhere in Taiwan. There is also ample hotel accommodation available for those who wish to spend more time exploring the town and the surrounding area.
