Zhuhai Fisher Girl is a granite statue in Zhuhai, China, designed by Pan He and completed between 1979 and 1982. Standing 8.7 metres (29 ft) tall in Xianglu Bay and weighing about 10 tonnes, the statue is of a fisherwoman holding a pearl high in the air, inspired by a local legend recorded in various versions. Commissioned during the development of the Zhuhai Special Economic Zone, the statue was cited by supporters as enabling the city to establish its own cultural identity, though its cost and depiction sparked some controversy at the time. Since its installation, it has become part of Zhuhai's growing tourism industry. Zhuhai Fisher Girl was designated a cultural relic in 2014, and later plans have proposed expanding the surrounding area into a larger recreational and tourist site. This photograph of the statue was taken in 2024, with part of the Zhuhai skyline in the background.Statue credit: Pan He; photographed by Daniel Lawrence Lu
