Qianzhen Fishing Port Introduction
Cianjhen Fishing Port is the largest fishing port in Kaohsiung, with a water area of 312,500 square meters and a land area of 320,000 square meters, capable of accommodating dozens of ocean fishing vessels weighing over a thousand tons. Most of the ocean fishing boats unload their catch here, making the fishery products diverse and abundant, effectively becoming the leader in Kaohsiung's fishing industry. Various fishing institutions in the southern region, such as the Ocean Affairs Council, the Ocean Fisheries Research Center, the Fisheries Experiment Station, trade unions, and the Fisheries Cultural Museum, are also concentrated in this area. Currently, it is the largest oceangoing fishing port in Taiwan in terms of the tonnage of docked fishing vessels and catch volume, making it the nation's largest fishing hub. Every day at dawn, fishing boats enter the port one after another; some fish products are sent directly to nearby processing plants, while others are transported to wholesale or direct-selling markets. Visitors can purchase fresh catches at the bustling fish market and can also visit the seafood display hall in the Fisheries Building and the Fishing Village Museum to learn about the rich marine resources and the lifestyles of early fishing villages. With its vast area and multifunctionality, Cianjhen Fishing Port can be said to be the largest in Taiwan, integrating fishery, tourism and leisure, cultural education, and maritime transportation.
