The Statue of fisher girl has become the landmark in the city of Zhuhai, located
at the scenic Xianglu Bay. She holds a pearl high in the air with both hands
in an elegant pose, admiring its bright luster that also symbolizes the
brightness of Zhuhai. The statue is composed of granite and stands 8.7 meters
high weighing 10 tons. The legend is that a beautiful fairy maiden fell
in love with a young fisherman. He believed some fabricated rumors and asked
the girl for the bracelet she wore as proof of her love. Although she knew
she would die if the bracelet were removed from her body, she still took
it off and presented it to show her deep lovefor him. The girl died and
the fisherman was bitterly remorseful, crying all day and all night. An
Immortal named Jiuzhou Elder was moved by their love and helped the young
man resuscitate the girl. They offered this huge precious pearl to their
benefactor during their marriage ceremony as a token of their appreciation
for his kindness.
