Fuhai Fisherman's Wharf

Fuhai Fisherman's Wharf is a seafood market and waterfront dining area in the Fuhai area of Fuyong Subdistrict, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, in Guangdong province, China. The wharf reflects the district's fishing heritage on the Pearl River estuary, with boats, fish stalls and rows of restaurants that cook seafood to order. Entry is free, and the usual routine is to choose live fish, shellfish, prawns or crabs from tanks and trays priced by weight, then have a nearby restaurant cook them in styles such as steamed, salt-and-pepper fried or in garlic sauce. Cooking fees are charged separately, so visitors often compare prices across several stalls. The site is open roughly from 8:00 to 22:00 daily, and a visit takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours including a meal. Evening is the best time, when restaurants are fully open and the waterfront is lit, while mornings are better for watching the market activity and the fresh catch arrive. Weekends and holidays are busy, with local families and groups filling the restaurants, and prices may rise accordingly. The best vantage points are the quayside edges at sunset, which offer views across the water and moored boats. Visitors should confirm weights and prices before ordering to avoid disputes. The wharf is a taxi or Didi ride of about 10-15 minutes from Fuyong metro, costing about ¥15-25.
