Jinshanzui Fishing Village

Rode my bike here expecting a charming old fishing village, but honestly it felt neglected. Trash bins were overflowing, and the public toilet was closed. The seafood was okay, but the guy at the first stall tried to overcharge me. Not the worst place, but not worth a detour. Disappointing.

A peaceful escape from the city. I sat on the rocks for an hour just watching the waves and the fishermen repairing nets. No loud music, no hawkers. The seafood noodle bowl at the corner shop was simple but perfect. If you want a calm, unpolished coastal experience, this is it.

Honestly the best steamed crab I’ve ever had. The lady at the second stall by the pier even showed us how to pick the freshest ones. The whole place smells like sea salt and charcoal – in a good way! Only downside: very crowded around noon. Go early or late afternoon for a quieter vibe.

Jinshanzui is nice but a bit underwhelming for the hype. The fishing boats are photogenic, but the main street is just a few restaurants and souvenir stalls. We had a decent lunch – the fish soup was tasty – but prices were higher than expected. Okay for a quick stop, not a full day trip.

Stumbled upon this place while driving along the coast – what a gem! The fresh seafood was incredible, especially the grilled squid right by the dock. The village feels authentic, not overly touristy. Sunset view from the pier is a must-see. Will definitely come back with more friends!
