The Chinese below was taken from "A New Appreciation of Fishing" 漁樂新視界. This book was published by 財團法人台灣養殖魚業發展基金會 in 2012 and the English parts were written/translated by me. There will be one more of these entries, covering the ports in Taitung that I didn't get to during the years I lived in Pingtung.

永安則是介於茄萣與彌陀之間 , 擁有6.8公里的海岸線 , 沿海地區過去是一個沙洲 , 潟湖遍佈的區域 , 屬於 "舊蟯港" 內海的一部分 . 永安是台灣養殖石斑魚的重要地區 , 更有 "石斑魚故鄉" 的美名 , 是台灣最早開始大面積養殖石斑魚的發源地喔 ! Yongan is between Qieding and Mituo [districts], and boasts 6.8 kilometers of coastline. This area was once a lagoon enclosed by sandbars, part of an inland sea formerly known as "Old Nao Port." Yongan is an important area with regard to grouper farming, and it has been given the name "the grouper's hometown." It's the area where large-scale grouper farming in Taiwan began.

茄萣濕地 Qieding (Jiading) Wetlands
茄萣濕地位於興達漁港正北側 , 廣大的內陸濱海濕地 , 由降雨所形成的 "內陸淡水濕地" 和海口的 "半淡鹹水濕地" 所組成 , 形成一個因雨季消長的濕地生態賞鳥的最佳去處 . The Qieding Wetland is directly north of Xingda Fishing Port. It's a huge inland coastal wetland which consists of a "inland freshwater wetland" formed by rainfall, and a "brackish [half saltwater] wetland" near the sea. This wetland ecosystem changes along with rainfall patterns [throughout the year], and is an ideal spot for birdwatching.
金鑾宮 Jinluan Temple
相傳清乾隆48年 , 來自泉州的帆船遇難 , 突然發生火災 , 因此便隨茄萣漁筏逃難登陸 , 爾後生還的船員特別致贈 "恩周海嶼" 匾額敬謝 . 由於茄萣區的居民多以捕魚為生 , 而金鑾宮所奉祀的天上聖母 , 更成為地方白姓虔誠的信仰中心 . According to tradition, during the 48th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign a sailboat from Qianzhou [in Mainland China] was wrecked [off the coast] and caught fire soon after. Those aboard the boat fled the disaster in a raft and escaped to Qieding. The survivors later had a plaque inscribed, which bore the words "En Zhou Hai Yu" ["Thanks for the port in the storm"] as a way of expressing their gratitude [to the goddess]. Since most residents of Qieding make their living from fishing, the Heavenly Mother enshrined in the Jinluan Temple has become the center of worship for those living there.

永安濕地 Yongan Wetlands
"永安濕地" 是由一塊荒廢鹽田所形成的濕地 , 經由海港的淤積形成海埔地 , 每當雨季必積水 , 因此更將這裡開闢為濕地自然公園 . 這裡除了有紅樹林的生態 , 更是愛鳥人土的最佳賞鳥據點 , 此區域於1999年被國際鳥盟及中華民國野鳥學會指定為全國53個重要野鳥棲地之一 . The "Yongan Wetland" formed on land previously used to dry salt. This land was later silted over by the nearby harbor. Water accumulates here every rainy season, and this prompted the development of a wetland nature park. Aside from a mangrove ecosystem it's also a prime location for birdwatchers. In 1999 this area was designated one of 53 important wild bird habitats by both Bird Life International and the Republic of China's Wild Bird Society.

1. I wouldn't recommend Highway 17 if you're coming from far away. It's a more scenic drive, but it gets a bit tricky around downtown Tainan, north Yongan and Zuoying in Kaohsiung.
Whatever you do, I strenuously recommend NOT taking Highway 1 between downtown Kaohsiung and Jiading/Yongan. They're building the Kaohsiung MRT extension in that direction, and traffic is a nightmare.
2. This was more true years ago. I visited Lover's Pier when it was newer, and there was a lot more to do there. In 2025 I'd recommend skipping it altogether, and heading to the Tourist Fish Market on the other side of the port instead. The view of the sunrise from the seawall is better anyway.
3. "Minyou Road" or 民有路 reads like a typo but it isn't. It is the actual name for the actual road. I was there recently and it wasn't even remotely busy. Not sure about the "Fast Hands Fish Ball Show." I saw no indication of it when I was there.
4. It may still be available there, or it may not be. I can't eat shrimp so I wouldn't know. Don't be surprised if you go up there and can't find it. Sometimes the local merchants and fishing associations just give up on this kind of product. There is a sustained demand for the mullet roe, but I don't know about the shrimp sausages.
5. It's no longer new by any stretch of the imagination. On the contrary many of the local fishermen have been complaining that the place needs to be upgraded. Having seen it for myself, yeah, I get why they're complaining.
