Yong'an Conch Cultural Experience Park Introduction
The conch-shaped architecture at Yong'an Fishing Port is a stunning work of art that you absolutely cannot miss—the Yong'an Conch Cultural Experience Park. The exterior design is inspired by "conchs buried in shallow mounds," incorporating the rhythm of ocean waves and the spiral lines of conchs, primarily in white and gray tones, evoking images of pristine waves and serene seas. Standing in front of the Conch Pavilion, each curve seems to whisper stories of the sea, and the dynamic design sways with the wind in perfect harmony with the rhythms of nature, showcasing a beautiful combination of architecture and maritime culture. Feel the call of the sea and admire the healing ocean view in the park's courtyard, where you will immediately be drawn to the white landscape art named "The Call of the Sea." The designer has integrated sound art into the landscape, creating a "sound landscape" where one can listen to the sounds of conchs. Closing your eyes, you can almost feel the rhythm of waves crashing against the shore, bringing a sense of tranquility and stillness, offering a feast for both the eyes and ears. As you continue upward, you reach the observation deck on the second floor, where you can gaze out at the Taiwan Strait and take in the entire ocean view. This area not only has comfortable seating but is also a popular spot for photos, especially at sunset when the orange-red glow reflects off the sea, weaving together a poetic scene with Yong'an Fishing Port. Step back in time as you enter the special exhibition room "Hakka Fishing Village Story Museum," where it feels like time has reversed. Here, the history, culture, and living tools of early Hakka fishing villages are on display, complemented by interactive installations that transport you to a traditional fishing village. From net fishing to blowing conchs, every aspect reveals the wisdom of the Hakka ancestors living in harmony with the sea. Combined with the local culture of Xinyu and Guanyin, this place is not just a display; it is an immersive and educational experience. The scent of coffee dances with the ocean breeze, providing a double dose of healing on your journey. The Conch Café on the first floor of the park offers a variety of beverages, including coffee and juice, making it a great place to relax. Find a window seat, sip your drink, and enjoy the ocean view and greenery outside, making each breath feel lighter. Engaging with local culture, "Sea People Face to Face" In addition to static exhibitions, the park regularly holds "Sea People Face to Face" experience activities and an annual "Sea People Cultural Arts Season." From participating in net fishing and blowing conchs to interacting with local fishermen, tourists can deeply experience the essence of maritime Hakka culture. Each interaction is a beautiful connection with the land, sea, and traditional culture.
