Live Your Best Lives

Sansha, a major town in the coastal region of Fujian Province, was included in Dr. Sun Yat-sen's "National Construction Strategy" as early as the beginning of this century. It borders the Mindong Fishery, one of China's five largest fishing grounds. The Sansha Fishery Company, the Mindong Fishery Command, the Mindong Vessel Supervision Station, and the Sansha Taiwan Compatriots Reception Station are all located here. During the fishing season, fishing boats from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Taiwan, and Fujian gather here, their masts forming a forest and the noise resonating like a tide. It serves as a distribution center for goods from the southeast and north of Fujian and a gateway to the outside world.
