Dongmen Island
东门岛
A fishing village island at Shipu’s harbor, with the China Fishing Culture Village, Dongmen Lighthouse and the Mazu and City God Temple, offering a genuine taste of local fishermen’s life.
Dongmen Island sits across the harbor from Shipu Ancient Town and connects to Shipu via the Tongwamen Bridge. The Dongmen fishing village on the island has more than 600 years of history and is known as “Zhejiang’s No. 1 Fishing Village.” The village has the China Fishing Culture Village, Dongmen City God Temple (which enshrines a Ming-dynasty general who fought Japanese pirates), a Mazu temple and the Dongmen Lighthouse. Visitors can watch fishing boats being repaired and salted fish being dried. Climbing the lighthouse offers views over Shipu Harbor and Tantou Island. Visiting the village is free. The roads are narrow, so walking is recommended, and please respect the fishermen’s ritual activities.
