Baosheng Fishery Leisure Harbor Introduction
The founder of OKUMA has been passionate about fishing since childhood and hopes to make "fishing" a mainstream leisure activity in Taiwan. He invested over a hundred million NT dollars to create a fishing-themed amusement park that also includes a storytelling hall, shopping street, and gourmet restaurants, offering visitors beautiful photo spots and entertainment areas. In 2019, the "Paw Bear Fishing Leisure Pier" was born in the Tanzi District of Taichung City! It aims to teach everyone fishing knowledge, introduce fishing gear, and convey the correct fishing and marine concepts to every visitor. Let us join Polar Bear BO in protecting this beautiful ocean. The outdoor plaza, filled with strong coastal vibes and featuring a blue and white ocean-themed building entrance, has been compared by netizens to "Little Greece in Taiwan," attracting much attention from tourists. It also houses the world's only oversized fishing machine for photo opportunities, which enlarges the childhood fishing game to a diameter of 7 meters! In addition to being photogenic, visitors can pick up fishing rods to take on the challenge! The fishing machine spins with the music, and fish emerge and open their mouths in sync with the melody. Starting with fishing gear, OKUMA does not skimp on the amusement facilities, using professional "sea fishing jigging rods" capable of withstanding immense weight, and utilizing Japanese "Owners treble hooks," which are dulled and equipped with protective covers to ensure safety for both elderly and children (children under 6 years old are advised to wait until older to try). The first-floor pier shopping street is free for visitors to explore! Designed in the style of an American fishing village, the small shops include the OKUMA direct sales store, fishing gear outlet, as well as street food such as Korean Busan grilled squid, BO Bear egg cakes, ice cream, popcorn, and various therapeutic products and souvenirs available for purchase. The DanTian Coffee located here is considered the most beautiful in central Taiwan, providing a comfortable and spacious dining space that promotes relaxation, perfect for family gatherings, sisterly afternoon teas, or business dining, offering a rich variety of menu options including brunch, light meals, set meals, coffee, drinks, and desserts. The Fishing Carnival - American Theme Amusement Park offers rides that can only be found outside of Taiwan, waiting for you to challenge them, including the Lobster Smash, Genius Little Fisher, Ace Pitcher, Bingo Bingo, and Kyiang Kyiang Cup, giving you a chance to win giant plush toys! With unique machines, it has also become a new hotspot for television program filming. The gift shop offers exclusive Paw Bear Fishing Leisure Pier cultural and creative products, as well as various distinctive items from Taichung, all themed around the ocean, branching out into three main areas: cultural creativity, education, and gourmet gifts. From stationery to Taichung specialty souvenirs, you can find everything here, making it a perfect place for family and friends to visit and shop. If you're in Taichung and wondering what to bring back for friends and family, this is a must-visit! The OKUMA flagship store is said to be a paradise for anglers, offering professional fishing gear, reels, and personal safety equipment. The second-floor fishing storytelling hall provides guided tours, allowing visitors to learn about fishing activities and fishing gear knowledge, and even offers a chance to board a speedboat airlifted from the U.S. to serve as a little guardian of marine environmental protection! The 3D ocean theater is suitable for viewers aged 0 to 99, showcasing underwater world films with 3D visual effects, where all familiar marine creatures pass by, delivering surprises and thrills. The virtual fishing area creates a scene that makes you feel like you're fishing from the deck of a boat, with projection screens on the walls showing fish swimming on the water's surface, allowing for an indoor fishing experience without seawater. The DIY classroom, designed like a medieval ship cabin, lets you create your own fish print postcards using sponges and ink to send to distant friends and family; it also offers painted bear piggy banks, fake bait, and rod DIY options, making it enjoyable for parents with children, groups of friends, or three generations to take back beautiful memories.
