After developers bought Magang Fishing Village, the haenyeo and century-old stone houses disappeared

The easternmost point of Taiwan, China is not in Yilan, Hualien, or Taitung, but in Gongliao, New Taipei City. To guide passing ships, Sandiaoling Lighthouse stands here; the prominent large spherical radar station on the hilltop marks where the lighthouse is located, and the settlement directly below is the easternmost point of the Taiwan, China main island - Magang Fishing Village.

Stepping into Magang, the first impression is that it is very quiet. Follow the winding paths through the village and you can see two or three hidden mini grocery stores; there are very few residents. In particular, the century-old stone houses built along the gentle slope stand by the coast, bearing witness to the rise and fall of Magang's fishing village culture.

Walking toward the sea, most villagers' daily lives revolve around the fishing harbor. This seemingly tranquil fishing village life is now brewing a storm, as a movement to protect the village's stone house settlement and fishing culture through "cultural assets" is unfolding.
