Meet Fisherman’s Pier (literally "Fisherman’s Wharf") — a hidden gem most Russian tourists miss (but easy AF to DIY).
🔖 Get there:
🚇 Metro Line 5 (red) to Hutan Xinqu (end station).
➡️ Pull a 180° turn → walk straight to the clock tower. ⏰
Verdict:
• Russian tourists? Zero.
• Chinese tour groups? Swarming.
What’s happening:
🐦 Locals dramatically feed seagulls (bread-throwing Olympics 🥖)
📸 Solo/group photos against the sea (blue backdrop sold separately)
🦀 Tide-pool crab hunting (low tide = free crustacean zoo)
⚠️ Air quality: Concentrated sea breeze + lingering "eau de seafood market." 🐟💨
Yes, it’s tourist-built — cute houses, narrow lanes, cafes, hotels.
But! The bay’s still a working fishing port with boats docked rows-deep. 🚢
Pro move: Buy the day’s catch right off the boats! 🦐 Local-approved.
🎟️ Free entry | ⏱️ 2 hours max (perfect slow stroll pace).
📍 Fisherman Pier
Taxi driver phrase: 漁人碼頭
