Sandu'ao Floating Fishing Town

三都澳海上渔城

A “floating fishing town” linked by tens of thousands of net cages and fish rafts, and China's largest large yellow croaker farming base.

Sandu'ao is a world-class natural deep-water harbor. Within the bay, Guanjingyang is the natural spawning ground of the large yellow croaker. On the sea, wooden fish rafts, net cages, and fishermen's homes are linked together, with shops, fuel stations, and even a police station, earning the name “floating fishing town.” You can take a boat from Sandu Town or from docks along the shore to cruise between the fish rafts, watch net-cage farming, and eat freshly caught large yellow croaker, abalone, and oysters on the rafts. Boat fares and departure times follow the dock announcements, and sailings are suspended in typhoon season. Watch your footing on the rafts, as they can be slippery.
