Hualien Sightseeing Fishing Port, better known as Hualien Fishing Port, functioning not only as a tourist spot and fish market, is also now a recreational park and site for whale watching trips with an educational purpose. Tourists visit Hualien Fishing Port mainly for two activities: enjoying gourmet seafood with the port view and whale watching. Once arriving at the fishing port, you will be in a real-life fishing vessels exhibition – take the chance to see ship structure and ship steering in person – and next you will find yourself in a fish market, which helps you remember all kinds of seafood dishes. If you are coming for whale watching, a notice clip with whale-related information will be shown first when boarding for your trip. Besides whale watching, experienced whale docents are hired to give a knowledgeable guided tour of the marine ecology and habits of whales. With the theme of commonality and diversity of life, you will learn about the characteristics of the east coast environment of Taiwan, common marine life, how humans use marine resources, and how humans should protect them.
