2020年臺灣大溪漁港釣客落海事件, Maritime incident site at Daxi Fishing Port, Taiwan
Daxi Fishing Port is a working harbor in Taiwan divided into two distinct areas that developed at different periods. The older section dates to the 1930s, while the newer area was expanded during the 1970s.
The original harbor site was established in the 1930s and long served as the center of local fishing operations. A tragic accident in 2020 prompted comprehensive improvements to safety measures and emergency response procedures.
The port remains a working fishing community where daily routines revolve around the rhythm of boats returning with their catch. Locals and visitors gather here to witness the energy of commerce tied directly to the sea.
The port is easily accessible by foot from Daxi Railway Station or by using the nearby parking area. Visiting in the afternoon offers the best chance to see returning fishing boats and peak activity around the docks.
A multi-story market building sits directly at the port where seafood vendors sell their catch, including local specialties made with anglerfish. The structure itself reflects the practical architecture typical of traditional fishing communities.
