Gao Hong'an takes Zhufeng Fishing Market as a political achievement. Lin Yanfu blasts: He actually asked the fishermen's association vendors to shoulder the construction and decoration costs.

Hsinchu City Councilor Lin Yanfu received a complaint from vendors at Nanliao Fishing Port’s Zhufeng Fishing Market, pointing out that the Gaohong’an City Government took the completion of the “Zhufeng Fishing Market” as a political achievement, but asked the fishermen’s association and the vendors to bear the subsequent improper decoration and design problems, including the fact that the stairs to the second floor from the restaurant area still have a “Do Not Cross” sign. From the opening in February to now, it has not been improved for a full nine months. Restaurant owners even mentioned that when the city government handed over the shops to them, they were all rough houses. Not only did they lack basic decoration, but they also had to provide water and electricity by themselves. The indoor space is too small, it will be full with only 5 tables, making it difficult to do business. Moreover, the city government left the issue of improving the second floor to the fishermen's association and asked the vendors to pay for it. How could this happen?

The Municipal Industry and Development Department stated that the Zhufeng Fishing Market was completed and opened in February this year. During the operation, the city maintained close communication with the Hsinchu District Fisheries Association and the industry to coordinate and adjust the needs for lighting, solarization, electricity, gas and seawater supply. The original plan of the Zhufeng Fishing Market restaurant was to have an indoor space on the first floor and a semi-outdoor open space on the second floor. The space on the second floor of the restaurant area that the business owners are concerned about is currently not open to the public due to climate factors such as strong winds at the Hsinchu Fishing Port and actual safety. We will continue to discuss optimization plans in the future, moving towards retaining the sea view features on the second floor and planning an air-conditioned indoor dining space.

Lin Yanfu said that some vendors reported that the appearance of the clear water molds in Zhufeng Fishing Market was not suitable for business. Seeing such an environment, even the vendors would not want to come and make purchases. He believes that the Gaohongan City Government regards the "Zhufeng Fishing Market" as a political achievement, so it should face up to the problem of improper design and invest more resources in improvements, whether it is the glass curtains on the second floor of the restaurant area, fire-fighting equipment, or enlarging drainage ditches, ceiling paintings with marine imagery, etc. The fishermen's association and vendors should not take the credit, but let the fishermen's associations and vendors bear the consequences.
