Houchou Fishing Port Introduction
Houchou Fishing Port is located next to the Danjin Highway and is the only remaining fishing port in Sanzi District. Although it is not as crowded as Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf, one can better experience the simple customs and culture of a fishing village here. The port has been enhanced through the city's planned "Fishing Gear Warehouse Construction Project." While maintaining traditional fishing practices, the old cargo containers have been removed, and 20 new concrete fishing gear warehouses have been constructed for fishermen's use. These are equipped with manually operated rolling doors and translucent glass bricks to allow natural light in. The port area also includes smart shore water and electricity facilities and a marine waste temporary collection and recycling area, promoting resource reuse and entering the economic cycle, enhancing the overall sustainable use of the port area. Additionally, a painting team has incorporated the design of the youthful Coastal Mountain Line into the appearance of the warehouses, transforming the usual warehouse look. This not only makes the fishing gear warehouses functional but also integrates aesthetic concepts to enhance the overall visual appeal of the port area, bringing a diverse new image to the fishing port.
