Beneath a sky mirroring the pearl she holds aloft, stands the Fisher Girl Statue. Here in Xianglu Bay, she embodies the spirit of Zhuhai. The Fisher Girl Statue isn’t just a beautiful sculpture. It’s a love story, a local legend brought to life in granite. The statue depicts a young woman, her trouser leg rolled high, a fishing net draped around her. She holds a gleaming pearl high above her head, a symbol of Zhuhai’s beauty and prosperity. The Fisher Girl Statue is 8.7 meters tall and weighs 10 tonnes, crafted from 70 pieces of granite. It was designed by Pan He and completed in 1982, becoming an instant landmark for the newly established Zhuhai Special Economic Zone. One legend says the Fisher Girl was originally a daughter of the Dragon King, captivated by Zhuhai’s beauty. She disguised herself as a fisherwoman, falling in love with a local fisherman named Haipeng. Rumors of her true origins led Haipeng to demand proof of her love – her magical pearl bracelets. Knowing removing them would end her life, she sacrificed herself for him. A heartbroken Haipeng, with the help of a local elder, revived her with a special herb cultivated with his own blood. The pearl she holds is said to be a gift to the elder, a token of gratitude for their love’s revival. The Fisher Girl Statue is more than just a statue; it’s a testament to a love story and a symbol of Zhuhai’s transformation. In 2014, the Fisher Girl Statue was officially recognized as a cultural relic. A testament to its significance in Zhuhai’s identity. Come closer and admire the details – the jade bracelets, the pearl necklace. Feel the weight of the legend in the cool granite. The Fisher Girl Statue stands as a beacon, welcoming visitors to Zhuhai’s shores.
