The establishment of Xinwu Shihu dates back to the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The ancestors of the Pingpu ethnic group came to Taiwan to reclaim their land. They piled up pebbles from the coast to form a stone embankment hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters away. There were no transporting machines there. In the era, the completion of a Shihu almost took the whole village to mobilize. The larger Shihu takes more than ten years to complete, and the emotions between people are also invisibly continued. The principle of Shihu fishing is to use the rising tide to bring the fish into the embankment. When the tide is low, the fishermen can catch the trapped fish.
