When is Xiangshan Fish Festival?

China News Service, Ningbo, September 12th (Reporter Zhou Yin) With the end of the summer fishing season in the East China Sea fish area, today, thousands of fishing boats are gearing up in Shipu Port, which is 18 kilometers long in Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province, to welcome the arrival of the China Fish Festival on September 14th.

"China Fishing Festival" is a way for local fishermen to pray for peace and wish a bumper harvest in different ways every time they go fishing. In order to improve fishermen's awareness of protecting marine resources and become peers of the whole society. The 3rd China Fish Festival with the theme of "Being kind to the ocean means being kind to yourself" will be held in Shipu Port, Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province from 14 to 16 this month.

Xiangshan marine fishery, located in the eastern coast of Zhejiang Province, is famous all over the country and has the largest mass pelagic fishing fleet in China. Last year, the total amount of aquatic products exceeded 500,000 tons, ranking among the best in China. Since 1995, the state has decided to implement a summer fishing moratorium in the East China Sea fishing area to protect the declining marine fishery resources, and last year, it proposed the goal of zero growth of the national total fishing.

According to the organizer, this year's Fish Festival will fully reflect the national characteristics, and launch some special activities for the whole country, such as China Huaxia Fishing Song Competition, "Fisherman Show" costume design competition, "Peninsula Scenery and Customs" photo competition, China female reporter's "Watching Xiangshan", foreign friends' visiting Xiangshan, and flag-raising ceremony organized by China fishermen's "Blue Volunteers".
