Another one of places to visit when one is in Dansui is the Museum of Tamsui Fishgoodies. It is located along the port and very easily accessible. Though the name sounds a bit peculiar, this is actually a place dedicated into researching everything from the catching, packaging and selling of fish. The name "Yu Zang" literally means a hiding place for fishes.
