Bagan Fishing Village Sekinchan is a jetty and harbour in Sekinchan, Selangor, Malaysia. Open 24 hours.
Bagan Fishing Village represents the authentic maritime soul of Sekinchan, where approximately 300 colorful fishing trawlers based along sheltered river inlets sustain a predominantly Teochew Chinese community whose families have worked these waters for generations. Located southwest of Sekinchan town, Bagan embodies the fascinating duality locals describe as a "Calm and Busy Fishing Village", nearly deserted and peaceful when boats depart for sea at dawn around 4:00-5:00 AM, then transforming into chaotic, vibrant marketplace energy when fishing vessels return around 5:00 PM laden with fresh catches of fish, prawns, crabs, squid, and various seafood.
