Boguang Market: Hsinchu Boguang Market is like an outdoor food feast at Hsinchu Fishing Harbor. In the past, more than seventy stalls were disorganized, making it feel like searching for treasures in a flea market. Now, to provide a more comfortable space for vendors and visitors, the market is equipped with independent sinks, running water, and power outlets. Its appearance is like a work of art, with concrete walls and fresh, simple decor, allowing every guest to enjoy food in a hygienic and comfortable environment. Designer Lin Shengfeng's creativity is unique, transforming the inspiration of the ocean into a wave-shaped roof, a first-of-its-kind "wave" style in the country. The wall design draws from the golden beach at sunset, and under the night lights, it adds a charming atmosphere, making people want to stay longer.

New Fisherman's Wharf Seafood Restaurant: With the transformation of local industry structure, Wanchang has been passed down to the fifth generation since its establishment and has now transformed into a seafood restaurant, selling dishes made from locally fresh fish. The long-term caring owner said, "The essence of Nanliao is the fishing harbor. Without the memory and characteristics of the fishing harbor, what is left of Nanliao?" Facing the rent of the shipyard as state-owned land, she decided to convert one-third of the shipyard into a restaurant thirty years ago, with a deep affection for her hometown, adhering to the principle of "eating local, eating seasonal," overturning the stereotype of tourist fishing harbors. The restaurant's dishes do not fully align with the market; she uses Nanliao's home-cooked seafood to replace expensive imported seafood, inheriting the ordinary cooking of coastal people and taking care of local fishermen. When the fishery is sustainable, the essence of Nanliao continues. She hopes that people who come to Nanliao will understand eating seasonal food, not only tasting the unique four seasons of this sea area but also saving money and being sustainable.
