Shark Gang Taitung Shark Museum Introduction
The "Shark Museum" is located along Provincial Highway 11 at the northern end of Chenggong Township, with a large "Shark Museum" sign and many cute shark illustrations that are quite eye-catching! The owner, Mr. Chen, is a fisherman from Chenggong Township in Taitung County, with over 30 years of experience in shark-related work. He is known locally as the "Shark King." Due to his work with the ocean, Mr. Chen became aware of the significant decline in shark populations over the past decade. Therefore, he decided to collect and preserve information and specimens related to sharks so that more people can appreciate the beauty of sharks and raise awareness for ocean conservation. Over 20 years ago, he transformed a warehouse into Taiwan's first shark museum, showcasing over 40 types of shark teeth and specimens, as well as the culture and stories of shark hunting in the past, providing free admission for the public and welcoming schools for educational field trips. In recent years, the Shark Museum has also transformed to offer dining services, inviting the public to make reservations for meals!
