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.
