The Poetic Charm of Shekou Fishing Port | A Day at the Fisherman's Wharf

Hong Kong has fishing ports, Chaoshan has fishing ports, Xiamen has fishing ports, and today we are at Shekou Fishing Port in Shenzhen.

The most captivating scene is the fish auction at dawn, where the boat captains shout prices in the Chaoshan dialect, and the silver fish dance their last dance in plastic basins. You can buy a freshly caught yellow croaker and have it cooked on the spot at a nearby food stall for just 10 yuan. In the evening, watch the sunset sink behind the bridge piers of the Yanjiang Expressway from the breakwater, while the silhouette of fishing boat masts is accompanied by jazz music from the 'Sea World' concert hall. Here, the old and new Shenzhen resonate in a wonderful harmony.
