This ancient city retains many ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, built on the mountain, and is scattered. The gate of the ancient city of Shipu Fishing Port faces the vast fishing port, and the buildings rise and fall along the mountain, and the road winds like a fairyland.

The ancient city is separated by the moon-cave gate-style fire-sealing wall in the ancient city, and each one has been weathered and witnessed the vicissitudes of time. The fishing gear and fishing lanterns along the way, brick by brick, all tell the profound fishing culture and fishing customs.
