Qianzhen Fishing Port Introduction
Cianjhen Fishing Port is the largest fishing port in Kaohsiung, covering a water area of 312,500 square meters and a land area of 320,000 square meters. It can accommodate dozens of large ocean fishing vessels, most of which unload their catch here, making the fishing products both diverse and abundant, playing a leading role in the Kaohsiung fishing industry. Various fishing institutions in the southern region, such as the Ocean Affairs Council, the Offshore Fisheries Research Center, the Fisheries Experimental Station, trade unions, and the Fisheries Cultural Hall, are also gathered here. Currently, it is the largest fishing port in Taiwan in terms of the tonnage of moored fishing vessels and catch volume, making it the biggest fishing hub in the country. Every day at dawn, fishing boats come into port, with some catches sent directly to nearby processing plants, while others are delivered to wholesale or direct sales markets. Visitors can purchase fresh catches at the lively fishing market and visit the seafood exhibition hall and the fishing village museum in the fisheries building to learn about the rich marine resources and the lifestyle of early fishing villages. Due to its vast area and numerous functions, Cianjhen Fishing Port can be said to be the largest in Taiwan, with multi-functional development including fishing, tourism and recreation, cultural education, and maritime transportation.
