Tamsui Fisheries Cultural Museum Introduction
The old oil depot machine room, which had been abandoned for many years and experienced 60 years of history, transformed into the "Tamsui Fisheries Life Culture Image Museum" on February 14, 2007, featuring white walls and green window grilles. A green vintage mailbox stands in front of the museum, while inside, the walls retain a red old fuel pump that once supplied fuel to fishing boats, along with many black-and-white postcards showcasing Tamsui's landscapes, which are works captured over the years by the curator, Mr. Ah Chong. His deep affection for Tamsui is embedded in each photo that reflects the town's past charm. Outside the museum is the beautiful scenery of the "Fishing Port Breakwater," one of Tamsui's eight scenic spots. Mr. Ah Chong has been sharing the beauty of Tamsui with the world since he began wandering through the streets with his camera over 20 years ago, documenting the town's changes and capturing scenes of fishermen and the riverside with a storytelling heart. His many years of black-and-white photography have been turned into postcards for sale, and visitors to the museum are welcomed to write down their feelings of longing for friends and family, sending the beautiful scenery of Tamsui around the world through these postcards.
