Dashentang Village is the last fishing village in coastal city Tianjin. The 2,000 villagers still preserve their traditional lifestyles: going out fishing early in the morning and returning to sell the products in the evening. Now there are very little local young men who are still interested in fishing, and some fishermen have to hire migrant workers to help them. With the development of Binhai New Area, the Dashentang Village is going to be relocated to inland areas soon.
