Aodi Fishing Harbor Introduction
Aodi Fishing Port is located in Zhenli Village, Gongliao District, New Taipei City. It was established during the Japanese occupation period as a small sheltered harbor. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Aodi is a natural bay with a seabed primarily consisting of rocks, which minimizes sand drift problems. The conditions for establishing a port are excellent, allowing local and visiting fishing vessels to dock during fishing seasons or typhoons. In recent years, in line with tourism policies, Aodi has developed into a tourist fishing hub, promoting the development of the Aodi area and becoming one of the important fishing ports along the Northeast Coast Highway. Due to favorable geographical conditions, Aodi boasts abundant fishing resources, including marine plants like deep-sea corals, nori, and kelp, making it a significant seafood distribution center on the northeast coast. Within less than a kilometer of Seafood Street, there are over ten seafood shops, offering fresh seafood at reasonable prices. Major catches include sailfish, red snapper, small squid, cuttlefish, lobster, and grouper, which have led to many seafood restaurants gathering near the fishing port. Aodi Fishing Port has also upgraded its facilities with a fish market, freezing plants, a gas station, and a ship repair yard, making it well-equipped for visitors to truly experience the cultural atmosphere of the fishing port, solidifying Aodi Fishing Port's status as a major seafood distribution center on the northeast coast.
