The Tamsui Fisheries Cultural Image Museum, located beside the Tamsui River, opened in 2007. The museum features many black and white postcards of Tamsui scenery, captured by the curator over many years. As a third-generation resident of Tamsui, he expresses his deep affection for the area through these black and white photographs. This place was originally an old oil depot engine room, which the curator successfully rented from the Tamsui Fishermen's Association after two years of effort. Believing in the "power of handwritten letters," the curator particularly encourages children living in the computer age to experience the impact of writing by hand. Any elementary school student who visits and writes a letter to their teacher can receive a postcard for free.

Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf Cultural Center Introduction

Next to the Tamsui First Fishing Port, the old oil depot machinery room, which had been abandoned for many years and aged 60 years, was transformed on February 14, 2007, into the "Tamsui Fisheries Lifestyle and Cultural Image Museum," featuring white walls and green window frames. In front of the museum stands a vintage green post box, while inside, the walls retain a red old fuel pump that once supplied fuel for fishing boats, and many black-and-white postcards depicting Tamsui landscapes are displayed, captured by the curator Brother A-Chung, expressing his deep feelings for Tamsui through images of its past charm. Outside is the scenic "Fishing Port Viewing Dike," one of the eight scenic spots of Tamsui. Brother A-Chung has been sharing the beauty of Tamsui with the world, carrying a camera and documenting the town's changes for over 20 years. With a story-telling mindset, he photographs fishermen, fishing activities, and riverside scenes. The years of black and white photography have been made into postcards for sale, and travelers visiting the museum are welcome to write down their feelings and memories for loved ones, sending the beauty of Tamsui around the world through these postcards.
