Shengsi,
an archipelago of almost 400 islands along at the mouth of China’s Yangtze
river, holds a secret shrouded in time – an abandoned fishing village being
reclaimed by nature. These photos by Jane Qing, an imaginative photographer
situated in Shanghai, take us into this lost village on the beautiful
archipelago.
Gouqi
Island is a part of a bunch of nearly 400 islands named Shengsi Islands, and
form a section of the Zhoushan Archipelago, located aside of Hangzhou Bay. It
is the largest archipelago of China. Traditionally Zhoushan had relied heavily
on its primary industry, which is fishing, given Zhoushan is the largest
fishery in China. Nowadays with the creation of the secondary and tertiary
industries, Zhoushan's economic base has actually been largely diversified.
Ship building and repairing, shipping, light industry, tourism and maintenance
industry transform the foremost contributors of local economic output.
Consequently, many fishing villages have today become abandoned. Among the best
preserved villages can be found in Gouqi Island.
