The tide of the times is rolling forward, and the horn of the closure of Hainan Free Trade Port is sounding loudly, ushering in a new opportunity for this century old port. The rise of Wenchangpu Central Fishing Port is not a farewell to the past, but a sublimation of historical inheritance. This will become a demonstration highland for Hainan's international offshore fishing industry, integrating fishing vessel berthing, fish cargo loading and unloading, cold chain warehousing, processing and trading, and building a solid logistics support for offshore fleets; It will also become a high-end fishing trading hub in Asia, allowing Nanhai Xiantian to spread globally through intelligent platforms; It will also become an international leisure fishing and cultural tourism destination, where the charm of the arcade and the romance of the fishing port complement each other, allowing tourists to touch the past and present of the fishing village.
The landing of the Wenchangpu Front Central Fishing Port project has profound significance. For a free trade port, it is an important pivot for the development of the marine economy after the closure, integrating the resources of the entire fishery industry chain, activating the potential of offshore fisheries, filling the gaps in high-end fishery trading and cold chain logistics, and providing strong support for the construction of an open marine industry system for the free trade port; For local development, it drives the transformation and upgrading of the fishing industry, stimulates the vigorous development of industries such as culture, tourism, commerce, and logistics, provides a large number of job opportunities, and revitalizes the economic vitality of the century old overseas Chinese hometown; For the well-being of the people, standardized construction improves the safety and efficiency of fishery production, intelligent trading enables fishermen to realize higher value of their achievements, and rich cultural and tourism formats make the fireworks in front of shops known to more people, truly realizing the vision of "prospering the port and enriching the people".

Nowadays, Puqian Port is thriving with the integration of old and new. In the morning light, the busyness of traditional fishing boats returning to port contrasts with the orderly supply of large ocean going fishing boats; On the dock, the skilled sorting of fishermen's catch and the fast shuttle of logistics vehicles coexist. The zero tariff policy of sealing off imports reduces the cost of imported feed and equipment, and the "first line opening, second line management" model improves the efficiency of fishery clearance, allowing delicious food from the South China Sea to reach the world faster. In the sea breeze, the scent of vinegar carries the coolness of the cold chain, the vitality of the workshop, and the laughter of tourists. The lantern on the arcade illuminates the nostalgic footsteps and dreams of entrepreneurs. The waves of the fishing port carry the ambition of fishermen's livelihoods and the connection between the free trade port and the outside world.

Before the tide rises, witness the passage of time; Hong Kong inherits the new chapter and continues to write the glorious chapter of the times. The central fishing port in front of Wenchangpu is adopting an open and inclusive attitude, connecting tradition and modernity, and linking the local and global communities. In the future, when the ocean going fleet sets sail from here, global fishing goods converge here, cultural customs and modern industries coexist and prosper, this fishing port will eventually shine brightly on the coast of the South China Sea, becoming a shining business card with both fireworks atmosphere and international style after the closure of Hainan Free Trade Port.
