Shanhai Fishing Village Introduction

For fans of the movie "Cape No. 7," the images are likely still fresh, such as the slope where Aga rides his scooter to deliver a letter, Aga taking Maobai to the fishing village to inquire about the location of Cape No. 7, Aga and Yucy's separate ways after leaving the wedding banquet, and the route Yucy takes while intoxicated. All these scenes are set in Shanhai Fishing Village, a quiet yet warm little fishing village. Shanhai, also known as Xun'guang Mouth, is named for its harbor's outline resembling a crab's pincers. Today, Shanhai Fishing Village still retains the lifestyle of early fishing villages, with villagers primarily living off fishing, and it’s not uncommon to see fishermen mending their nets. The village has a small population, but many old houses, some of which are built from coral stones, known locally as "Lao Gu" stones, sourced from the area. Walking through the fishing village gives a sense of suspended time; the pace of life is so slow that one unconsciously slows down their steps. Shanhai Fishing Village features a beach dotted with coral stones, where the sea is clear and clean, attracting many people for snorkeling and water play. Visitors who prefer to stay dry can sit on the sea-view breakwater or in scenic pavilions, quietly enjoying the surroundings, such as the joyful figures of seaside tourists, seabirds resting on the rocks, rows of white houses along the shore, and the distant green hills—these are all leisurely delights to savor amidst the busyness. Many people feel a sense of familiarity and closeness to the rural scenes that appear with the actors in "Cape No. 7," as the settings come from the most simple and tranquil villages, perhaps connected to childhood memories of where some lived or relates to a deeply moving travel experience. This Shanhai Fishing Village, if given the chance to stroll around, might offer a glimpse into why "Cape No. 7" chose this location as one of its main scenes.
