Sulphur fire fishing is an ancient fishing method in Jinshan on the north coast of Taiwan. At present, there are only four sulphur fire boats in the world. Every summer night, fishing boats going out to sea at night will use water to burn sulphur stone to illuminate the sea surface and use phototaxis to attract blue. Colorful fish, and jumping thousands of fish under the flashing lights, the scene is very magnificent and charming.
