Wanggong Fishing Port, Coastal fishing port in Changhua County, Taiwan.
Wanggong is a coastal fishing port that functions both as a working harbor and visitor destination. The site includes a fish product retail center, a visitor center, and specialty seafood shops along the waterfront where fresh catches are sold.
The port was founded in 1969 and initially focused on commercial fishing operations. In 2000, a government modernization program transformed it to welcome visitors alongside its fishing function.
Fishermen here follow time-tested methods and sell their daily catches to local markets. The way they use their boats and work with the sea shapes how this place operates every day.
The port is best reached by train to Changhua Station, then by connecting bus to the Wanggong stop. The site is relatively open and easy to explore on foot, particularly in the early morning when fishermen are preparing their boats.
A distinctive feature is the oyster picking lagoon where visitors can harvest shellfish using farm vehicles or traditional water buffalo. This experience blends modern and traditional methods of seafood gathering in one activity.
