Exploring Taipei's Small Fishing Port

Mao'ao Fishing Port is a serene and tranquil little fishing port. Upon arrival, you can first visit Liyang Temple to pay respects to Guanyin Bodhisattva 🙏. Nearby, there are several seafood snack shops and stir-fry restaurants 😋. Many visitors come here to savor the famous fresh squid vermicelli 🦑 and other seafood dishes. After a hearty meal, taking a stroll around this small fishing port leaves one feeling satisfied.

During summer at Mao'ao Fishing Port 🎏, you can quietly enjoy the sea breeze, listen to the sound of the waves, and gaze at the blue sky while relaxing by the seaside, indulging in a slow-paced moment. Unlike the typical fishy smell of fishing ports, this place only carries the "scent of the ocean."

On weekends, the area sees many private cars, scooters, and bicycles 🚗🛵🚲, but there is ample parking space nearby, making it convenient for visitors with various needs.

According to online information, the name "Mao'ao" originates from the Chinese character "卯," which represents the time between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM. Since Fulian Village is located at Taiwan's easternmost point, the first rays of dawn in Taiwan shine into this bay during the "Mao" hour, hence the name "Mao'ao."
