Seafood Festival Opens in Shanghai

Seafood lovers should head down to the Longhua Temple area, where restaurants from one of China's most famous fishing towns are making waves.

 

Twenty-four well-known eateries from Zhoushan in east China, which has one of the four largest fisheries in the world, have set up shop near the temple, with a range of fresh fish and shellfish on offer.

 

The event is part of the Fourth Zhoushan Seafood Delicacies and Culture Festival, which is taking place in the southeast coastal city.

 

Arts performances and tourist information on Zhoushan is also available.

 

The Longhua temple stalls will remain until June 11, but the seafood festival in Zhoushan will last until September 28.

 

For those looking to join in the fun in Zhoushan, Shanghai Sightseeing Bus Center has come up with a tour that will take people from Yangshan Deep-Water Port to Zhoushan. Travelers can take a 90-minute bus ride at 7:50am from Shanghai Indoor Stadium to the port. They then can take a 90-minute yacht ride to the Sanjiang Port in Zhoushan.

 

Zhoushan city will hold another festival, the Eighth Zhoushan International Sand Sculpture Festival, which starts on July 15.

 

The event will last for several days to June 11.
