History

The harbor was originally built in the 1980s to give conveniences to the local fishermen to catch fishes. However, due to the decreasing amount of fish load over the years, the old harbor was replaced by the new harbor buildings which is more tourism-focused.[2]

Activities
Hsinchu Seafood Wholesale Center

The harbor is the center for seafood business. It houses the Hsinchu Fishermen's Association since 1991, which has since become an important place for local residence to buy seafood. The trading is housed in the Hsinchu Seafood Wholesale Center, a two-story building, in which the ground level houses the trading activities of seafood and the upper level houses the food market.[3]

Activities that can be done around the harbor area are cycling, kite flying and eating seafood.[4]

Transportation

The harbor is accessible north west from Hsinchu Station of Taiwan Railways.

gollark: The color corrected one looks pretty weird, I guess because it looks like you're not in water.
gollark: I said "[it] seems neat", not "yes I have definitely decided I want to do lots of this and go through a probably somewhat expensive certification/training thing".
gollark: Scuba diving seems neat. I'm doing a "discover scuba diving" thing next month (not sure exactly when, since I had my parents book it and forgot to ask...).
gollark: It looks low enough that mobile networks should still work, although in my experience you're meant to turn off phones for whatever reason.
gollark: It's some bizarre Discord feature where people with nitro can provide "boosts" to a server, and if you get enough of them you can get extra things, but also the people can just randomly revoke them or boost something else and then you lose those things.
