**Wanshan Island: Zhuhai's Last Fishing Village Secret – Sea Fishing, Dried Fish & Military Relics**

**Wanshan Island – Zhuhai’s "Paradise for Sea Fishing," a Secluded Island with Timeless Fishing Village Charm** **Wanshan Island** is located in the **central part of the Wanshan Archipelago in Zhuhai**, renowned as a **key fishing hub** and **sacred destination for sea fishing**. Free from overdevelopment, it retains its **pristine fishing village scenery, military relics, and crystal-clear bays**, earning the title of **"Guangdong’s Last Hidden Fishing Island."** --- ## **🌊 Must-Do Experiences on Wanshan Island** ### **1. Paradise for Sea Fishing – Asia’s Premier Fishing Ground** - **Host of international fishing tournaments**, abundant with **amberjack, grouper, and Spanish mackerel**. Boat rentals available (~¥800-1500/day). - **Rock Fishing Hotspot**: The eastern reef area is ideal for shore fishing (requires professional gear). ### **2. Slow-Paced Fishing Village Life** - **Wanshan Fishing Port**: Watch fishing boats return at dawn and buy **wild-caught grouper or lobster** (cheaper than in the city). - **Century-Old Mazu Temple**: A spiritual center for fishermen, bustling with incense offerings. ### **3. Exploring Military Relics** - **Air-Raid Shelters & Artillery Forts**: Cold War-era military structures, perfect for photo ops. - **Wanshan Fortress**: Hike to the summit for panoramic views of the archipelago. ### **4. Island Hiking & Hidden Beaches** - **Seaside Boardwalk**: Built along the western coast, ideal for scenic walks. - **Fushi Bay**: A quiet, clear-water beach where you can forage for shellfish at low tide. ### **5. Wanshan Fish-Drying Yard** - Taste the island’s specialty, **"Wanshan Dried Fish"** (Spanish mackerel, dried squid), and observe the sun-drying process. --- ## **🚢 Transportation Guide** - **From Zhuhai**: Take a ferry from Xiangzhou Port (~1.5 hours, ¥130/one-way), with 2-3 departures daily. - **On the Island**: Walk or rent an e-bike (~¥50/hour). --- ## **🏡 Accommodation Recommendations** - **Fishing Village Guesthouses**: Multiple options in Wanshan Village (~¥200-400/night), with "Island Home" being a top pick. - **Luxury Stay**: Jingyun Villa (high-end, private bay access, ~¥1500+/night). --- ## **🦞 Food Guide** - **Must-Try Seafood**: - **Cobia Sashimi** (a Wanshan specialty, crisp and tender) - **Gooseneck Barnacles** (wild-harvested from reefs, sweet and rare) - **Seafood Congee** (made with the day’s fresh catch) - **DIY Cooking**: Buy seafood at the market and have it cooked at guesthouses or stalls (~¥10-20/dish). --- ## **📌 Travel Tips** - **Best Season**: September–November (avoid typhoons, peak fishing season). - **Notes**: - Book fishing boats in advance; beginners can join guided tours. - Limited medical facilities—bring motion sickness pills and mosquito repellent. - Some areas have no signal; cash is more reliable. --- ## **✨ Why Choose Wanshan Island?** - **Untouched & Crowd-Free**: Less commercialized compared to Outer Lingding Island or Dong’ao Island. - **Sea Fishing at Its Best**: Fun for both pros and beginners. - **Authentic Fishing Culture**: Pre-dawn fish markets, drying yards, and Mazu Temple offer a genuine island life experience.
