Autumn is a busy time in Shengsi Islands. Since the East China Sea fishing ban was lifted in September, fishermen from the Shengsi Islands in Zhoushan have been busy fishing at sea.

The fishermen repeatedly cast and haul in their nets, then sort their catch. They are like seafood couriers, delivering the freshest seafood from the East China Sea to the tables of Shengsi residents. This age-old task has sustained Shengsi's prosperity and growth for centuries.

Let's discover the entire fishing process and celebrate the bountiful harvest for Shengsi's fishermen!
