Aodi Fishing Harbor Introduction
Aodi Fishing Port is located in Zhenli Village, Gongliao District, New Taipei City. During the Japanese colonial period, a small sheltered harbor was constructed here. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, Aodi features a natural bay with a seabed primarily composed of rock, minimizing the problem of drifting sand. The port has excellent conditions, allowing local and visiting fishing vessels to dock during fishing seasons or typhoons. In recent years, in line with tourism policies, the development of tourism-related fishing industries has boosted the growth of the Aodi area, making it one of the important fishing ports along the Northeast Coast Highway. With favorable geographical conditions, Aodi is rich in marine resources, including marine plants like gelidium, nori, and kelp, establishing it as a main seafood distribution center on the northeastern coast. In just under a kilometer of seafood street, there are more than ten seafood shops of various sizes, offering fresh seafood at reasonable prices. The main catches include marlin, red snapper, small squid, soft-shell squid, lobster, and grouper, which have led to the clustering of many seafood restaurants near the fishing port. Additionally, Aodi Fishing Port has built facilities such as a fish market, freezing plant, gas station, and ship repair yard, making it fully functional and allowing visitors to truly experience the cultural atmosphere of the fishing port, thus establishing Aodi Fishing Port as a primary seafood distribution center on the northeastern coast.
