The offshore areas of Hsinchu are enriched with a great variety of fish resources. The local fishermen fish miscellaneous varieties with tow-nets in the spring, and catch Spanish mackerel and miscellaneous fish with drift gill nets, squids with stick-held dip nets in the summer, mainly Scomberomorus commerson (Barred Spanish Mackerel) with drift gill nets in the fall and winter, and mullets with drift gill nets in the winter. Mullets are priced at around NT$50/kg if without roe but priced as high as around NT$400/kg if with roe. So well marketable that mullets are among the top favorites in the eyes of the local fishermen.

The Direct Selling Center of the Harbor Area has been operated by Hsinchu District Fishermen’s Association under consignment. You are advised to visit the ground floor for fresh fish catch and the second floor to savor the freshly caught seafood which is served as delicious dishes. You and your kids will definitely linger on without any thought of leaving while here, especially during the peak fish season or a holiday while you will excite yourselves in the fresh fish shopping or flying a kite with your family.

Hsinchu City Government mapped out the huge project to further develop and beautify the 17km tourism attraction zone in 2003. The Project includes notably the landscaping wooden tracks on the north dike. Moreover, we have applied to the Tourism Bureau, Ministry of Transportation & Communications for the establishment of a yacht wharf and applied to the Fisheries Agency for construction of a recreational fishery wharf. Through these efforts, the citizens and visitors alike will be given adequate room to enjoy themselves among the oceanic resources.
