Shark Gang Taitung Shark Museum Introduction
The "Shark Museum" is located alongside Provincial Highway 11 at the northern edge of Chenggong Township. The giant "Shark Pavilion" sign and numerous cute shark illustrations are very eye-catching! The owner, Mr. Chen, is a fisherman from Chenggong Township in Taitung County, with over 30 years of experience working with sharks, and he is known locally as the "Shark King." Due to his work in the ocean, Mr. Chen noticed the drastic decline in shark populations over the past decade and decided to collect and preserve information and specimens related to sharks, allowing more people to appreciate the beauty of sharks and raising awareness about marine conservation. Thus, more than 20 years ago, he converted a warehouse into Taiwan's first shark museum, showcasing over 40 types of shark teeth, specimens, and the cultural stories of past hunting practices. The museum is open for free public visits and warmly welcomes schools for educational outings. In recent years, the Shark Museum has also transformed and now offers dining services, inviting the public to make reservations for meals!
