Nowadays, the tourism industry is developing rapidly, attracting a large number of tourists. Shaba town used to be a transit point for water transportation.

Slowly, more and more ships come and go, gradually becoming the hub of commercial routes, and then developing into a densely populated and prosperous ancient town. Shaba Town is rich in sea salt resources. In the Yuan Dynasty, people lived here by cooking and drying salt.

There are more than 6000 acres of salt drying fields in the town, and the salt drying technology is very good, so the salt industry is very prosperous. With the changes of the times, saltworks have become a tourist attraction, where visitors can see more than 20 ways of drying salt, which is very interesting.

When you arrive in Shaba Town, you must experience the local fishing methods. Usually we fish with bait or nets. But there is a special way of fishing here. They fish according to the weather. When night comes, local people will light a kind of lamp called "small fishing lamp" in shallow water.

Then because the fish's attention will be attracted by these tiny lights, when all the fish swim over, they will immediately cast the net out. In the evening, these floating lights are scattered all over the place, which is very attractive, so they are called Qingzhou fishing fire and one of the eight scenic spots in Yangxi.

Shaba Town's sandy beaches are fine and soft, surrounded by trees, so it has the reputation of "Little Maldives in Guangdong". The beach is free to go in and out.
