门后是山，门前是海，渔港古镇石浦侧身在山海之间。要成为一个良港，近岸水深是一个前置条件．随之而来的就是沿港地形崎岖陡峭，无法形成深广的腹地，民居就这样局促在一溜狭窄区域。在此地，老屋翻新或是拆迂，就其难度与成本而言，极富挑战性。因此，习惯于叱咤风云，履风浪如平地的渔民们在陆上的时候，相当子龙困浅滩。出得海去，海阔洋长任遨游的本领只有鱼类具备，他们只有继续狭窄下去。
Shipu fishing port, also named Li port, is located in the south of Xiangshan peninsular, shaped like a crescent. Covering 27 square kilometers of waters, and having a depth of 433 meters, the port is capable of anchoring about 10,000 fishing ships and accessible for 10,000-tonnage ships. It is freeze-free as well as silt-free year round and therefore recognized as an ideal haven on the Southeast coast and known as one of the major fishing ports in China. Apart from the port, Shipu fishing port is also famous for the ancient city which has a history of 617 years. Located on the coast, the ancient city was built by hillside with winding streets and deep alleys. By following the ups and downs of the hill, the construction of the ancient city is able to connect the valley to the port, and therefore it took a historically important position in coast defense of Southeast China.
