Houlong Waipu Stone Weirs

The stone weirs extend along the coastline of Miaoli County, forming a network of carefully arranged rocks that create natural fish trapping systems.

Local fishermen have constructed and maintained these stone structures for multiple generations, adapting their techniques to the coastal conditions since ancient times.

The stone weirs represent traditional fishing knowledge of Taiwan's coastal communities, demonstrating the connection between maritime practices and local heritage.

Visitors can observe the stone weirs during low tide periods, when the structures become visible and showcase their intricate architectural patterns.

Each stone weir formation contains specific arrangements of rocks that work with tidal movements to guide fish into designated collection areas.
