Shark Gang Taitung Shark Museum Introduction
The "Shark Museum" is located at the northern end of Chenggong Township, along Taiwan Highway 11. The large sign reading "Shark Museum" and many adorable shark illustrations are very eye-catching! The owner, Mr. Chen, is a fisherman from Chenggong Township in Taitung County, with over 30 years of family experience in dealing with sharks, and is known locally as the "Shark King." Due to his work in contact with the ocean, Mr. Chen decided to collect and preserve shark-related information and specimens, especially in light of the rapid decline in shark populations over the past decade, to help more people appreciate the beauty of sharks and emphasize the importance of marine conservation. Over 20 years ago, he transformed his warehouse into Taiwan's first shark museum, showcasing over 40 types of shark teeth, specimens, and the culture and stories surrounding shark hunting. It provides free admission for the public and welcomes schools for field trips. In recent years, the Shark Museum has also evolved to offer dining services, inviting the public to make reservations for meals!
