There is a boat every 20 minutes, so it doesn't take long to miss a class, and the boat journey is only 5 minutes, so the traffic is very convenient. This time I went on Saturday, but fortunately the departure time was earlier, and there were not many people waiting for the boat (close to 12 noon, there were long people waiting for the boat). Because the puffer dolphins here are very famous, there are many puffer dolphins decorated on the way to the Tanghu market. There are a variety of fish oysters, sushi and other seafood in the market. Each is fresh and delicious and the price is not expensive. The long stairs in front of the shrine in the Guishan Yasaka Palace next to the market are prohibitive. But you can visit after arriving, and you can have a beautiful view of the harbor."Shimonoseki426m from downtownHighlights: Karado Market is not only famous for puffer fish, but also sea bream and yellowtail.
