It is a small fishing port hidden between Dulan and Fugang Fishing Ports. The coast around the port is covered with shallow shoals and boulders, with no natural shelter and lacking the advantages of a harbor terrain. This was actually not conducive to port construction at the beginning of construction. However, precisely because it is much less populated than other tourist fishing ports, and because the local people are simple and honest, Xinlan Fishing Port is even more refreshing and special. It doesn't even have the common fishy smell and diesel smell in fishing ports.   At the end of the long embankment of the port stands a bright red lighthouse, which lights up regularly every night to guide the ships entering and leaving the fishing port.  There is a Pacific Ocean Viewing Trail around the fishing port, from which you can see the beautiful bay and Green Island in the distance, and you can also get a panoramic view of Mount Dulan, the sacred mountain of the indigenous peoples of the east coast.  In addition, there is a cafe called "Come and See the Sea Cafe" by the harbor, which provides drinks and light meals, allowing tourists to enjoy a leisurely time while admiring the sea view.  The tranquility and simplicity of Xinlan Fishing Port make it a great place to escape from the hustle and bustle and relax.  #AprilGoodDestinations2025 #TaiwanAttractions #OulangThinkTravelDiary
