Where is Baisha Island? How to get here? How about going fishing on Baisha Island?

Among the many small islands in Zhoushan, Baisha Island is considered a low-key island. It is so small that it was once invisible on the map. It was not until 2006 that the government began to pay attention to its commercial development. However, this does not mean that the scenery of Baisha Island is not beautiful and not worth visiting. On the contrary, Baisha Island is like a paradise, more suitable for people to travel and vacation.

Due to its comfortable environment, it is said that as early as 600 years ago, Baisha Island attracted mainland fishermen to stay, repair and live here. More than 200 years ago, Ningbo fishermen gradually moved to Baisha Island on a large scale to make a living by fishing, and later formed villages.

Most of Baisha Village faces the sea and is built against the mountains. Most individual buildings are oriented north-south. Over the years, they have formed the main tone of black tiles, blue windows, white walls and stone foundations. From a distance they look quite Mediterranean. Netizens call this place the Santorini of Putuo.

Baisha Island is located in Yang'an Fishing Ground, one of the four major fishing grounds in the East China Sea. Hundreds of years of fishing development have formed a unique fishing culture in Baisha. At the Baisha Fishery Customs Museum, you can learn about the rich fishing village culture and experience marine art and culture such as Gyotaku.

Now Baisha Island is also China’s first themed Diaoyu Island. There are many rare snappers and groupers in the island and reef area, and here is the most natural professional fishing area.
