Wushi Harbor Introduction
If you love surfing, challenge yourself and enjoy the thrill of racing on the sea, or if you want to indulge in seafood and savor the fresh taste of freshly caught catches, come to Wushi Harbor! The name "Wushi" comes from the large black reef inside the harbor. This fishing port, located in the town of Toucheng, not only serves traditional fishing purposes but also holds significant historical and cultural meaning. It was once the largest harbor in the Lanyang area and an important gateway for Toucheng, where many merchants and various essential goods passed in and out. The phrase "Shigang Chunfan" describes the bustling scene of merchant ships gathering, with countless vessels coming and going. However, after a devastating flood in 1878 that led to significant sediment buildup, and an incident in 1883 when a large American ship ran aground here, Wushi Harbor lost its functionality and gradually declined, affecting the prosperity of Toucheng at that time. After being reconstructed in 1991, Wushi Harbor has transformed into a beloved leisure fishing port for many. The old Wushi Harbor site has been designated as a conservation wetland, and the harbor also features a tourism fish market known as the "Wushi Fishing Port Direct Sales Center" and a yacht harbor, allowing visitors to enjoy delicious seafood while admiring the beautiful view of the harbor's vessels—truly a feast for the senses! Wushi Harbor not only captivates many food lovers but is also a paradise for surfers! With its flat, wide beach and expansive surfing area, you'll see many skilled surfers gathering on weekends, chasing waves and weaving through the surf. Additionally, the simple volleyball courts on the beach are perfect for kids and adults alike to have fun, and the soft sand makes beach volleyball both safe and enjoyable! It’s recommended to visit the nearby tourism center and the renowned Lanyang Museum during your trip to Wushi, getting close to the ocean, tasting delicious food, and simultaneously learning about the beauty of Lanyang's culture!
