Nanliao Fish Scale Ladder is a popular IG check-in hotspot in recent years.

The Hsinchu City Government replaced the traditional wave-absorbing block with a fish-scale staircase, which also allows tourists to get closer to the sea. Every holiday, it is always full of tourists blowing the sea breeze and admiring the sunset. The stones stacked up like scales have a special geometric beauty that resembles the ”Great Salt Flats of Argentina“, which also gives the Fish Scale Ladder the reputation of the ”Little Salt Flats“.
