Taiwan's Wuri Fishing Harbor to Transform into Fishery Museum and Cafe Next Year

The Wuri Fishing Harbor direct sales center in Taiwan is set for a significant transformation, aiming to become a hub for fishery culture and tourism. Legislator He Hsin-chun has secured funding for the renovation project, which is slated to begin in the third or fourth quarter of this year and conclude by the end of next year.

The NT$60 million project will revitalize the second and third floors of the direct sales center. The second floor will be redesigned to include spaces for fishermen's exchange, cultural and creative product sales, and an ecological education classroom focused on fish consumption. It will also house a fishery museum to promote local culture and foster community development.

Successfully secured funding for the Wuri Fishing Harbor direct sales center to create a higher quality recreational space, attracting more domestic and international tourists to experience the humanistic customs of Taichung and drive the overall tourism economic development of the coastal area.

The third floor will feature a specialty cafe and a large conference and exhibition space. These additions are expected to significantly enhance the overall services and tourist appeal of the fishing harbor. The central government will subsidize 70% of the renovation costs, approximately NT$44.01 million, with the Taichung Fishermen's Association expected to propose additional local needs for further assistance.

The initiative aims to draw more domestic and international visitors, thereby stimulating the overall tourism economy of the coastal area.
