📍In-depth visit to "The Far East Fishing Village - Magang" in Gongliao District, New Taipei City
The easternmost point of Taiwan, 122 degrees east longitude and 25 degrees north latitude, is not in Taitung or Lanyu, but at Cape Sandiao, a cape near the border between New Taipei City and Yilan. You may have heard of the Sandiaojiao Lighthouse, but few know about the small fishing village "Magang" under the lighthouse. When the Spanish fleet passed this cape in 1626, they gave it the same name as their beautiful hometown on the nautical chart - S. Tiago (Santiago). After years of transliteration, "San Diao" became the name of this area, but the small fishing village on the cape is called Magang? Welcome to join us in walking into the small settlement that has been forgotten by the world, travel through the alleys of stone houses where time and space seem to have stopped, and get to know the daily life of the people who live in harmony with the sea.
🪨 Visit the stone house settlements in the northeast corner that were born from wind and waves. There are many stone houses built with local materials in the fishing villages in the northeast corner. They are often more than 70 or 80 years old and have survived typhoons, earthquakes, etc. They are still standing firm. In Magang fishing village, there are many stone houses that have been completely preserved. Apart from the stone houses, the best thing about being near the sea is probably the first row with the beautiful sea view, but for the people in the village, there is only the terrifying "first row with the waves"! Faced with the dangers of nature and the need to survive, how did our ancestors use their wisdom to live and work in peace and contentment on this land that is buffeted by the northeast monsoon every year?
🌊 Get to know "Taiwanese Ama": Collecting humanities in the ocean of the northeast corner, and experiencing wearing straw sandals and walking in the intertidal zone. Influenced by Japanese and Korean dramas, everyone is more or less familiar with the term "Ama", but in fact, there is also such a group of women in Taiwan who live by the sea and go to and from get off work with the tides. Some of them do this to supplement their family income, while others directly support the family economy. Unlike the Ama in Japan and South Korea who emphasize diving, the Ama in Taiwan can collect different sea vegetables, snails, shellfish, etc. on the coast all year round, and even their furniture is unique. Let’s follow the female divers and walk in the intertidal zone wearing straw sandals (the anti-slip shoes of the past) to get to know all kinds of marine life!
