All of the visitors are greeted by a Dutch windmill the moment they set foot on the premises of Dongshi Fishermen’s Wharf, which features the elements of wind, sunshine, fish, boats, ocean and lighthouse to underscore a multi-faceted ocean theme.

Thanks to its fresh-caught seafood, striking sunset, and idyllic fishing-village scenery, the wharf helped turn the Dongshi Fishing Port into a recreational area with cultural distinctiveness. Tourists may sit back, immersed in the slow-paced beautiful lifestyle of a fishing village. They may also build sand castles, splash some water and play volleyball on the beach, fly a kite on the breezy lawn, or simply appreciate the nationally renowned “sunset in Dongshi” before wrapping up their trip.

The annual Summer Sea Festival, held jointly by Chiayi County Government and the Southwest Coast National Scenic Area Administration, transforms Dongshi Fisherman’s Wharf into a coastal amusement park visited by a phenomenal amount of thrill-seeking tourists.
