The warm current of the Kuroshio has given birth to abundant cetaceans and marine life in the Chenggong waters. Located at the marina near Chenggong Newport Fishing Port, the Environmental Education Center is currently hosted by the Taiwan Cetacean Society. Here, you can learn all about whales and dolphins, the spearfishing process, the equipment used in the movie "A Town Called Success," and the unique fishing culture of Chenggong.
