Aside from the beautiful sunsets and sunrises, the vibrant and spectacular flaming clouds are also a favorite among many photography enthusiasts. Recently, a local photographer from Taoyuan, while heading to Zhulian Fishing Port to capture the sunset and flaming clouds, unexpectedly discovered a uniquely shaped wave-dissipating block. Its figure-eight shape resembling a pig’s nose, paired with the ever-changing beauty of the clouds, created a distinctive composition that immediately sparked inquiries from many netizens, turning Zhulian Fishing Port into a new hot spot for photography.

Flaming clouds usually appear in the summer, especially after thunderstorms or on the eve of a typhoon. They generally occur at dawn or dusk during sunset, when the sky's clouds display a vivid gradient of colors from yellow to red. Because it looks as if the sky is on fire, it is also called "flaming clouds."

Zhulian Fishing Port is a leisure-oriented tourist fishing port in northern Taoyuan. Its beautiful beach scenery attracts many visitors, and even idol dramas have been filmed here. In addition to enjoying the sea views, visitors can also check out the rainbow bridge at the northern entrance, a major landmark of the fishing port. Moreover, delicious seafood can be sampled at the direct seafood sales center.
