Jinshanzui Fishing Village is the earliest fishing village on the coastal land of Shanghai and the last fishing village in Shanghai. It is adjacent to Hangzhou Bay and on the north side of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway. It is only a step away from the sea and faces the three Jinshan Islands in the sea across the sea.

A variety of delicious seafood delicacies is a major feature of the fishing village. The seafood food street and fishermen's inn snacks have their own characteristics, attracting more and more tourists.

Jinshanzui is a famous fishing port in Shanghai. Historically, marine fisheries have been very prosperous.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were 36 shops and workshops in the town, and more than 10 fishing inns selling only fishing goods: during the spring and autumn floods, big fish and jellyfish flourished, and people came to watch the tides and buy fish.

Fish traders, business tourists, and merchants gathered together, and the seawall was crowded with people, making it very lively.

In the 1980s, Jinshanzui Fishing Village reached its peak, with more than 1,000 fishermen, 45 large and small fishing boats, with a tonnage of 1,650, and an annual output of 1.16 million tons of fishery products. The fishing range also extends from Hangzhou Bay to the ocean, to the Diaoyu Islands in the south.

Located near Jeju Island in South Korea in the north, it is a red flag on Shanghai’s fishery front.

However, since the late 1980s, due to the construction of many chemical companies, a large amount of sewage has flowed into Hangzhou Bay. Coupled with overfishing, the fishery resources have gradually depleted, resulting in a situation where fishing boats are parked on the beach and fishermen come ashore.

Most fishermen bid farewell to the sea on which they depend for survival. Some work, some do business, and some never forget the sea. While persisting in offshore fishing, they have started farming, fish processing and other businesses on land. There are also some fishermen who have taken advantage of their unique advantages.

Due to natural conditions, dozens of seafood hotels have opened on one side of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway, forming a unique seafood street.
