Zhuwei Fishing Port Introduction
Zhuwei Fishing Port, located between Dayuan and Luzhu in Taoyuan, is a vibrant spot along the coastline that offers a taste of the sea and a chance to listen to time slow down. This place is unpretentious and quiet, yet it has a magical power that invites people to take their time. With its advantageous location just three kilometers from Taoyuan International Airport, it provides moments of life where one can gaze at airplanes while savoring ocean flavors. If the city is a fast-paced march, then Zhuwei is that gentle adagio, adding a touch of lingering melody to everyday life. As you enter the fishing port, the first thing that greets you is the salty and fragrant aroma of seafood. There is a direct sales center for fish products that retains the simplicity and bustle of "fresh catch, freshly cooked." Whether it’s fresh oysters, cuttlefish, crabs, or Thai prawns, each item boasts a freshness that feels like it just hopped out of the sea. Travelers can select their desired catches and then have the second-floor restaurant prepare them, enjoying the flavors closest to their original state. The fish ball soup is light and sweet, the thickly sliced sashimi melts in the mouth, and the mackerel rice vermicelli is a warm, memory-filled soup. Zhuwei is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a healing visual space. The classic landmark "Rainbow Bridge" spans the harbor like a curve drawn lightly by a brush, while the adjacent "Little Rainbow Bridge" acts as a harmony to this curve, inviting people to stroll up and overlook the daily happenings in the port. In the summer, there is a giant canopy plaza at the yacht pier, perfect for shade and cooling, making it an ideal spot on a breezy afternoon. Occasionally, one can look up and see airplanes slicing through the sky, beautifully contrasting with the blue of the sea. The recently renovated sand play area carries a fresh maritime theme with blue and white lines and playful illustrations, creating a small shared play space for families. The summer-limited "Zhuwei Fish Festival" injects another layer of vitality into this fishing port: music, seafood, and parent-child DIY activities allow people to establish a deeper connection with the coast amidst laughter and sea breezes. After strolling through the market and indulging in seafood, if you are reluctant to leave, consider taking a walk at Zhuwei Seaside Recreation Area and Pig Nose Beach. As the sun sets, light dances on the water surface, and the entire port seems gently enveloped in warmth. Zhuwei doesn’t need many words to describe it; it quietly invites you with the simplicity of the sea and the warmth of its people, leaving you with a moment to slow down.
